LERR, Secretary. from time to time to assemble to'ether, and to make, ordain, and constitute such proi.er and wholesome rules, orders, and rOulatiOris, for the better govern ment and guidance of the same, a , -; to the maker part of such Society, or such Committee thereof, so assembled together, shall seem meet, so as such rules, orders, and regulations, shall not be repugnant to the laws of this realm, nor any of the express provisions or regulations of this Act; and to impose and inflict such reaednable fines and forfeitures upon the several memhetshr - any such Society, who shall offend against such rules; or ders, or regulations, as shall be just and necessary for duly enforcing the same, to be respectively paid to such uses, for the benefit of such Society, as such Society, by such rules, orders, or regulations, shall direct; and also from time to time to alter and 'amend such rules, or ders, and re.ealations,• as' occasion shall require, or to annul and r epeal the same, and to make new rules, or ders, and regulations, in lieu thereof, under such te ettictions as are in this Act contained." The Act also provided, that no Society should' be deemed to' be within the meaning of the Act, until the Rules had been exhibited to the .rnstices in Quarter Sessions ; and the Justices were to allow and confirm those rules only eltich should be " conformable to the true intent and imeanine of the Act." The Iltile4 so confirmed, were not to he afterwards alteree, otherwise than by three-fourths of the members present at a general meeting, or by three fourths of a Committee, if one should have been appointed fie- the management of the Society's concerns. Societies were empowered to appoint treasurers and other officers. The Act also requited every Society, previously to the enrolment of its rules, " to declare (in one or more of them), all and every the intents and purposes for which such Society is intended to be established ;" and direct all and every tire uses and purposes to which the money which shall from time to tiele be subscribed, paid or given for the use or benefit of such society, or which shall arise therefrom, or in anywise belonging to the same, shall be appropriated and applied; and in what shares or proportions, or under what circum stances, any member of such society or other person shll or may become entitled to the same, or any part thereof." And the societies were empowered to inflict penalties for any diversion or misapplica..ion of the funds. It was also declared unlawful " to dissolve or deter mine any such society, so long as the intents or pur poses declared by such society or any of them, remain to be carried into effect, without the consent and ap probation of five-sixths of the then existing members of ,such society ; and also of all persons then receiving, or then entitled to receive relief from such society, carer on account of sickness, age, or infirmity, to be te,tifiei under their hands individually and respectively ;" aed it was further made unlawful for , 4 such society, by any rule, order, or regulation, to direct the division or dis tribution of such stock or fund, or any part thereof, to or amongst the several membt rs of such society, other than for carrying into effect the general intents and purposes declared by them." These are all the provisions of the Act of 1793, which consist of Restrictions imposed upon Fetendly S the Act at the same time conferred upon these institu tioas certain privileges and irnmueit es. And your Committee take this opportunity of observing, that it is, la their opinion, only in consideration of these advan tages conferred by the law, that any restrictive inter ference can be justified with voluntary assoc ations, esta blished for lawful and innocent purposes. They wish this principle to be kept in view, in considering as well the history of the law, as the sugge,tions which they shall make for amending it. It is true, that the restrictions which the Act imposes, are, without exception, calculated for the benefit and security of individuals; nevertheless it is for the indi viduals themselves to determine, whether to adopt the provisions of the Statute, which offers them at• the seine time regulation and privilege ; or to remain per fectly unfettered by anything but their own will, and the common or more aneigot iaw against fraud or em bezzlement. For, your Committee apprehend, that al though the Act of 1793 appears to begin by reneeriqg lawful the institution Of Friendly Stkietres, there neither we's et that time, nor is now, any law or statute which derives the King's subjects Of the right of . .associating themselves for mutual support. - in tfis kingdom, for the purpose of relieving, by vplun tary subhciiieions and benefactions, widows, orphans, and familiesof the Clergy, and nthers in distressed cir cumstances:" and t• at e such institutions have, or may have funds, which they may wish to place out on pub lic securities, under the management of a treasuier :" and that in order to-give stability to such institutions, it is necessa-y that their property should be secured under the authority of Pat liament ;" and extended to institutions of tliis description the provisions of the Act of 1793. An Act of 1803 r merely provided that societies who had registered their iules at the Sessions of places having peculiar jurisdiction, should be allowed to register them at the Quarter Sessions of the County, Shire, or Division ; the registration in the Count of Peculiar Julisdiction not being deemed sufficient under the Act. In 1809 another Act was passed, reciting that" great advantage has been derived, as well to the public as in dividuals, by the establishment of Friendly Societies" under the Act of 1793; and proceeded to make further provision for applying the summary remedy alloeed by the former Act, by requiring that the Justices order for paying money should specify the time and manner of payment; and or other legal modes specified in the Act. In 1817 the provisions of former Acts, for the relief of persons veritably entitled to public funds, &c. wee extended to Friendly Societies petitioning a Court of 'Equity for summary relief. Another Act et 1817, not specially intended for the 'benefit of Friendly Soc'e.ies, conferred upon them the most valuable privilege which th y now possess. This WAS the Savings' Banks Act,; which at the same time that it gave to those itastituti , ins the privilege of receiving, for all money in the Rank of England, Go vernment Debentures bearing an interest of threepence per day, allowed Friendly Societies so deposit their funds in any Savings' Ba..k, and thus to derive the be nefit of the high interest secured by the Government Debentuses. Your Committee now come to the Act of 1819, "fcr the further protectien and encouragement of Friendly Societies, and for preventing frauds and abuses therein." This new law made several important provisions re specting Friendly Societies. It is to the operation of these provisions th4t the attention of your Committee has been principally directed. They propose to state the origin of the Act; and in going through its several enactments, t 4 explain the present state of the law, and their view of the amendment which it still requires. Between 1793 and 1819, a great number of Friendly Societies had been instituted. In 1802, aofewer than 9,672 appear to have-been returned to Parliament; and in 1815, the Members of Friendly Sociesiis were enu as- rated at 925,429. Your Committee have no doubt but that, during this -period, a very considerable relief was afforded to pari,hes, and much additional comfort derived by individuils ; bu s t the system was neverthe less assuredly defective in some points, and is supposed to have conduced to so tie purposes foreign to the ob jects of its formation. The first and chief defect in the law, as intended for the protection of the people, was the want of sufficient security against error, in the original constitution of societies. The rules of every society were to be sanc tioned by the Justices at Quarter Sessions, who had the power of rejecting such as should appear to be not con tormable to the true intent of the Act ot - 1793. Every society which professed to provide for sickness or old age, and declared no unlawful purpose, was necessarily admitted. An examination of the adequacy of the means by which tie professed objects were to be ac complished, was not declared by the Act to be, and certainly did not become in practice, a part of the duty of the Magistrates. It is believed, that throughout the country the Justices acted ministerially, taking . the mord of the Counsel employed to move for the registra tion of the articles, that nothing 'mho ful was contained in them. Indeed, except by reference to the tables of Dr. Price, which, though originally calculated at the desire of a Committee of this House, had received no parliamentary sanction; and had not been confi:med by experience, neither Counsel nor Justices had the means of judging of the sufficiency of the payments requited: nd the tables did not extend to the cases of widows or 'children of deeeiied.members, though these Were cases contemplated by the law. • Another material defect was found, in the provision made against a fraudu!ent or inequitable disposition the Itinds, - or dissolution of the society. The Act cpiired, that no society .should be dissolved without lUJU 08 cf :t It the
