AUCKLAND LEAGUE CASE HEARD IN COMMITTEE.

(Special to the " Star.”) AUCKLAND, June 14. A letter from the Newton Club dealing with the cancellation of the registration of C. Dufty as a member of the club was read at a meeting of the Auckland Rugby League. Mr F. Foster asked for the suspension of the standing orders to deal with an application for Dufty’s transfer from Newton to Ellerslie. The suggestion that the correspondence from the Newton Club should be dealt with in committee was strongly opposed by Mr W. J. Davidson, who said that it was the Auckland League’s duty to its patrons to make fully known the position. Mr B. Longbottom contended that Duft}'’s case should be taken in committee, as too much had already been said about the matter. The secretary (Mr I. Culpan) said that the Advisory Committee had discussed the Newton Club’s letter and suggested that the League should go into committee. By a small majority the suggestion was adopted. At the conclusion of the meeting the chairman (Mr G. Rhodes) stated that the Auckland Rugby League had granted Dufty’s transfer to Ellerslie.
