Fortieth Street & Fairmount Avenue Church of God v. Hawes

Opinion

Per Curiam,

This is an appeal from a final decree in equity entered in the court below on April 23, 1969. The ap: peal was filed in this Court on April 25, 1969, but an *408examination of the record discloses that the writ of certiorari issued by this Court was not lodged in the court below until January 16, 1970.
