The only objection to be considered is as to the appointment of two members of Ayirathalawar community and of the residents of

Jangamarajapuram or Mangammalpuram as trustees of the temple in addition to the representatives of the families of Rama Aiyar and Ramu

Iyengar. The learned Subordinate Judge stated in his judgment that the representatives of the plaintiffs'' community made large additions to the

temple at great cost, and it was admitted before him that they had purchased the properties for conducting the worship and festivals of the temple

to the extent of Rs. 30,000. No evidence was apparently taken in this case, as the parties agreed that a scheme should be framed by the learned

Subordinate Judge. And there is no affidavit before us to show that the statement in the judgment which is referred to is incorrect. We think, under

the circumstances, that the Judge was justified in having the Ayirathala war community represented on the board of trustees : and the appointment

of members from the village officers or residents of the two villages mentioned above seems to be a proper thing.

2.

The appeal is, therefore, dismissed with costs of respondents Nos. 1 to 4.
