THE A.S.R.S. EXECUTIVE
AN EXPELLED MEMBER'S APPEAL DISALLOWED. Judgment was given by his Honour Sir W. B. Edwards in the Supreme Court this afternoon in the case in which Martin Joseph Lee had appealed from the action of "the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants in expelling him from the executive. His Honour said there must be judgment for the defendant union. He thought, however, it was proper to add that the judgment involved no finding against the char- , actor of the plaintiff. In his Honour's opinion, plaintiff had ' mistaken his rights, and had failed to appreciate the extent of the authority given by tho rules to tho executive council. He believed the plaintiff honestly believed himself justified in the course that he took, and, therefore, without in the least derogating from what he (his Honour) had already said, he thought he might properly add that nothing had appeared in the. case 'to deprive the plaintiff of the esteem of the other members of the union.
