The RIGHT MAN IN THE WRONG PLACE..
B. Wright, former president OF the colored
Young Mems Christian Association, and ex-
member of the Legislature, yesterday brought
an action against the present vce-president Of
the association for forcibly ejecting him from
the rooms of the same. The prosecutor had
been expelled from the society for non.pay-
mems of arrears; but clause Of the constitu-
tion provides that should any member, ex-
PEELED for this cause, appear within three
months and pay up all dues, he shall be rein
stated into all his former rights and benefits.
Wright appeared within the prescribed time to
pay up his arrears, but the Insiders, he states,
called the police and had him forcbly elected.
Upon this he brought the present action for
damages against the vice-president. Alter
due investigation, Trial Justice Schroeder, be-
fore whom the case was tried, held that the
action for damages would not lie against the
vice-president, but should be brought against
the association, and dismissed the suit Wright
was one OF the original corporators Of the
association, and as member of the Legisla-
ture at the time, was mainly instrumental in
obtaining the charter.
