Opinion

CIRCUIT COURT OF BALTIMORE CITY. Reported Daily Record, May 14, 1895. IGNATIUS BATORY VS. THE SUPREME COUNCIL OF THE AMERICAN LEGION OF HONOR. Wm. A. Fisher for plaintiff. J. F. Fort and A. J. Carr for defendant. [MAJORITY — DOBLER, J.] DOBLER, J. This is a case in which a member of a foreign corporation complains against certain acts of the corporation amending its by-laws, rules and regulations, the effect of which amendments is alleged to be prejudicial to the interest of the plaintiff and in violaton of the conditions under which he became such a member. Under the decision of the Court of Appeals in the North State Copper and Gold Mining Co. vs. Yield, 64 Md. 151, this must be considered a controversy relating to the internal affairs of the defendant corporation, over which our Courts will not take jurisdiction. The bill in this case must therefore be and the same is hereby dismissed with costs.
