                         The Chase Manhattan Corporation
                              Value Sharing Program

Dear Sirs:

      I have acted as counsel to The Chase Manhattan Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the registration statement on
Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") being filed by the Company on the date
hereof with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of
1933 (the "Act") with respect to 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $1 par value
per share (the "Shares"), to be issued pursuant to The Chase Manhattan
Corporation Value Sharing Program (the "Program").

      In so acting I have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise
identified to my satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records and other
instruments as I have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this
opinion. Based upon the foregoing, I am of the opinion that when the
Registration Statement has become effective under the Act and the Shares are
issued in accordance with the terms of the Program, the Shares will be duly
authorized, validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable shares of the
Company's Common Stock, $1 par value per share.

      I am admitted to practice only in the State of New York and, accordingly,
I do not express any opinion concerning any laws other than the laws of the
State of New York, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the
federal laws of the United States of America.

      I know that I am referred to in Item 5 of Part II of the Registration
Statement and I hereby consent to the use of my name in such Item 5 and to the
use of this opinion for filing with the Registration Statement as Exhibit 5
thereto. In giving such consent, I do not thereby admit that I am in the
category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act.

                                             Very truly yours,


                                             /s/ Neila B. Radin
