Syllabus

<p>1. Upon the complaint of a member of an unincorporated beneficial society that he has been wrongfully suspended and deprived of the benefits of his membership, and praying that he be restored thereto, equity has jurisdiction to inquire into the regularity of the proceedings under the constitution and laws of the society, but not into the merits of what has passed into judgment in a regular course of proceedings.</p> <p>2. When, however, it is found that irregularities existed in the proceedings resulting in the act complained of, yet that they were waived by the complainant at the time, equity will not grant relief.</p>
