Koch received Lefevere's letter with the deed of property. It might have defeated them except for the "hook and crook" law which was necessary on that occasion. The deed was made in 1859 after the church law of 1855 by which all conveyances to any bishop are void. However, the counsel on the other side, Holmes and Eggleston, admitted that the paramount title was in Lefevere. The Court rendered a judgment of guilty against Father Thomas Brady and the three officers. This gives possession of the church and the costs of $46 taxed against the Department. Brady came to Koch and wanted to settle; Koch told him to go to Father Henry Rievers . Koch will not accept the check for $20 and will return it on his arrival in Detroit in about two weeks. Koch advised Rievers to pay Brady if there is anything due him after deducting damages. :: III-2-j A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.
