Ferris v. Purdy
10 Johns. 359
Opinion
The condition of the bond was evidently for a purpose of Christian charity. The obligors were trustees of a church, and they were to furnish the plaintiff with a comfortable dwelling-house, if necessity required. The obligee ivas bound to show the existence of that necessity, as a condition precedent, but he has not done it.
