ADVERSE POSSESSION- Private road· what user thereof will be pre-
sumed to be adverse.] 1. Evidence that the owner of a farm, distant half a
mile from a highway, for a period of over twenty years used a road over the
lands of another for the purpose of obtaining access to the farm, and that
such user was continuous, open and exclusive as of right, and not by virtue
of a license, is sufficient, in the absence of objection or assertion of dominion,
to establish the presumption that the user was adverse.

Quare, whether such presumption is rebuttable. HEY v. COLLMAN....... 584
2. When a purchaser is not protected by the Recording Act.] A pur-
chaser of the lands across which the road passes is not protected by the

assertion of the easement obtained by the adverse user of the road, where it
appears that, at the time of such purchase, the road was physically defined

ASSOCIATION- New York Stock Exchange — expulsion from membership
therein--proof required of the exchange, in support of its act of expulsion.]
1. Where the governing committee of the New York Stock Exchange, which
is a voluntary association, expels a member after a trial upon charges of fraud
and dishonest practices, and the expelled member, alleging simply that the
exchange refused to recognize his rights as a member thereof, brings an action
to procure an adjudication that he is a member in good standing of the asso-
ciation, and to restrain the association from preventing him from exercising the
privileges of membership, thus imposing upon the association the burden of
proving the validity of the expulsion, the association is only bound to show
that the governing committee had jurisdiction of the subject-matter of the
offense and of the person of the plaintiff and that it followed the method of
procedure required by the constitution, and thereafter passed a resolution
expelling the plaintiff. It is not obliged to produce all the evidence upon
which the decision of the governing committee was based. If the plaintiff
wishes to attack the sufficiency of such evidence, it is his duty to produce it.

Presumption in favor of the validity of its decision.] The rule
that the rendition of a judgment raises a presumption of its validity, and
that it is incumbent upon one who seeks to destroy the effect of the judg
ment to overthrow this presumption, applies with particular force to the
decision of the governing committee.

The court will not examine the question decided by the governing com-
mittee upon the merits, and will reverse the committee's decision only
where there was a total absence of evidence warranting such decision, or
where the proceedings before the committee were contrary to natural justice.

3. Right of the governing committee to consider an act as a fraudulent
and not a fictitious sale.] Under the provisions of the constitution of the
New York Stock Exchange, which provide: Should any member be guilty
of fraud, of which the governing committee shall be the judge, he shall upon
conviction thereof by vote of two-thirds of the members of said committee
present, be declared by the president to be expelled.
and that,
'No fictitious sales shall be made. Any member contravening this section
shall upon conviction be suspended for such period not exceeding twelve
months as a majority of the governing committee present at a meeting there-
of may determine," where a transaction may from one point of view be
regarded as a fraudulent sale of stock, and from another be regarded as a ficti-
tious sale, the governing committee may treat the transaction as a fraudulent
one. Id.

Secret order-motion by a member to compel its secretary to commu-
nicate to him its unwritten work and password, denied the order is a neces-
sary party thereto ] A court will not entertain a motion by a member of a
division of a secret fraternal order to compel the secretary and treasurer of
the division to communicate to him its unwritten work and password, par-
ticularly where neither the order nor the division is a party to the proceed-
ing and where the moving party made no attempt to secure relief within the
order. PEOPLE EX REL. WEISZ v. MILLARD DIVISION...

Disposition by will of interests in a copartnership, the assets of
