ANOTHER IMPORTANT CASE.
OSBORNE JUDGMENT EXTENDED. (Received April 29th, 12.33 a.m.) LONDON, April 28 Mr Justice Parker, giving judgment in the case Wilson v Amalgamated Society of Engineers, decided that the method of collecting the so-called voluntary subscriptions for political purposes, in order to circumvent the Osborne judgment, was really compulsory, because unless tho members \vh?n asked to subscribe refused to allow cheir subscriptions to be used for that particular purpose, payment was obligatory. An injunction granted, not only in the terms of the Osborne judgment, which was confined to levies for Parliamentary purposes, but its action was extended to municipal and other local elections, except Boards of Guardians.
