Text | The meeting of the Judiciary Committee of the State Association to hear and determine charges, was held last Wednesday evening at the Study, in Hudson street. ... The next case was that of the Mutual Club, in having reinstated Edwin Duffy to full membership. The Judge-Advocate made the formal charge. Counsel for the Mutuals moved the case be quashed, reading from the By-Laws that a charge must be made within thirty days after the offence is committed, and the offence charged, the reinstatement by the Mutual Club of Edwin Duffy, had taken place on the 28th of July, the time had elapsed. The committee deliberated for a time, when the President announced the unanimous conclusion that the point was well taken, and the charge must be rejected. New York Dispatch October 4, 1868 Judge Advocate Balton has preferred charges against the Mutuals for playing Duffy in the game with the Actives on September 30th. He has also preferred charges against the Actives for entering into the contest with the Mutuals, the latter having Duffy in the nine. There will probably be a meeting of the Judiciary Committee on Wednesday evening, to take action on the complaints. New York Dispatch October 11, 1868 The Judiciary Committee decided, on Wednesday evening, that the Mutual Club has violated Section 4 of Article IX of the Constitution of the State Association in admitting and retaining Mr. Duffy as a member of the club, and in playing Mr. Duffy in a match game with the Active Club on September 30, ult. The Mutuals will probably appeal to the Judiciary Committee of the National Association. New York Dispatch October 18, 1868 |
