Marestox-Hotter.—Thei;stice-room was crowded yesterday by the members of a Benefit Society called • The National Mutual Benefit Society," or "Mutual Benefit Society," who attended to complain against their officers for refusing to allow the accounts to be in spected._ Mr. HARMER attended for the complainants, who, be said, had been induced to join this Society by very gross tnismpremotatioos, which. held oat to the public that the Society had been instituted upon a capital "of 20,000/., when no finch capital was in existence, and stated that a number of Lords and Gentlemen of the greatest affluence were its patrons, when on being written to those Lords and Gentlemen declared that they had no knowledge of and had given no sanction to the Society. A number of rules had been published as rules of the Society, and it was found on referring to the rolet enrolled at the Ses sions, that a number of the most important attieles were omitted. 1n fact it was found that a junta had been formed and had made themselves perpetual officers, se cretary, treasurer, &c. &c. who, when applied to, refused to exhibit their accounts, which were audited by_ some journeymen printers who were not members. Hy the 13th section of the Act any member of a Henefit Society was empowered to demand and inspect the hooks of the society. The members now eliimed to inspect the accounts which were withheld so obstinately. Mr. ALLAY, for the Officers of the Society, denied the trath'of the statement just made, and declared that the Officers were, highly respectable, that they had sub scribed a capital exceeding 4,0001., and there were op scuds of 1,000 Members. He then submitted, that by the provisions of the 33rd of the late King, the case was taken out of the jurisdiction of the Magistrates, there being an arbitration clause is the Articles of the Society, enacting that in case of a dispute not satisfacto rily settled by the officers, the stutter should be referred to two arbitrators.. _ Mr. HARMER contended against this arentnest: ?be charge was aot, lie said, a_ainst t p.rticular member, but a general charge of nsisrepresentation and fraud. Mr. ALLAY would not allow his clients to be libelled. ilfthere had been false representations, the defendants y . •_ _ --~-~s-.- or receiving relief I—WorraL—No ; I believe not: — Mr. PATNI said, he was not aware - of any offence the prisoners had committed. Skittles was a game of exer one, and not vituperated u an unlawful game in the Statute 33d Henriorhe Vlllth. or any of the subsequent St - outes; nor did.itaseate within the meaning of the last Sewer Act for dm City of London, the runes therein prohibited at public-houses being expressly termed " sedentary" games. A Solicitor who attended for the prisoners, hoped the officer would be camlid enough to state that the prisoners were sober. Worrall.—Yes ; they were all three sober. I took them for leaving their work. The Solicitor observed, that they were all working by the piece; their leaving their work would, therefore, be their own loss, not their misters'•, and the officer could have no authority to apprehend them on that score. Worrall.—l did not take them on my own authority. Mr. King sent for me. Mr. Alderman Cox.—Yon must be very little acquaint ed with your duty not to know that skittles is not an un lawful game. Your zeal may have misled yon, but yon have certainly exceeded your authority, and I am sorry for it. There is no offence against the men, and I would recommend to you to withdraw and talk to this gentle man (the solicitor.) Mr. Parris observed there could be no change of malice or ill will on the part of Worrell. The prisoners' Solicitor.—Certainly not. I make none. The men were then discharged, and the parties with drew together. MARERnoarmt-ineastr.—JeAs Stock and a Jew named Lies, liriug in High-street, St. Giles's, were yesterday ex• amined before %Ir. Rog, the sitting Magistrate, the former charged with having stolen some clasps from Mr. Inch lock, and the latter as the receiver of stolen goods. Mr. Alley and Mr. Isaacs attended as Counsel and Solicitor for Lion. It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor, that the prisoner had been taken into the service of his house in Gray's-inn lane, as a journeyman tailor. Last Thursday week he missed total pair of clasps, valued at one guinea , land sixpence, and asomeetiog the prisoner. who had left his employ, Mr. ,(schlock traced him to his residence, and taxed him with the robbery, which he confessed; at the same time inforrting the prosecutor that he sold the clasps to,Lion for four shilliags and a comb. The proeeeut.,r went to Lion, and offered to repay him whatever he might have given for the property if he would give it up, but be denied altogether having transacted any business with the prisoner Stock, po. natively asserting that he bad not pirchased any such pro. petty as that described. John Hall was called to prove that h. went with Stock to Lion's house, rhea he told the witness he was going to sell some steel clasps. Hall said he waited outside the street door. but sawfoar shillings and four pair of clasps pass netkireu the two prisoners. Stock told the Magistrate that he took the clasps to Lion, who purchased Ilan at two different times ; on the firit occasion giving im two shillings and a comb for two pair, and on the second giving him two shillings for the remaining two pair. Lion persisted in not being et all connected with the charge. Stock was fully committed for trial, and Lion was discharged; the Magistrate giving Lion the benefit of the contradiction in the evidence of the witness Hall, op posed to the statement of Stock. MARY-I.I.IIONPOS OPTICS. —Yesterday, 1). Ha rte , v and Jones, two youths were charged before L. Gamma, Iraq. with stealing, in a very daring man• Der, some articles of plate from the Stratford Coffee House, Oxford street. The prisooerswere observed going down Duke-street by as aged woman. who keeps a fruit stall, and wh,,se attention was attracted towards them by se ihg some thing bright, like silver, protruding from' Harvey's pocket ; suspecting they d just committed some 'de predation, she communicated- her snspicions to a man A lANATic's cuNNisu —tyro., the Manchester Oeardies.J—A very laughable incident °marred at the Lsaatie Asylum at Lancaster, about ten days ago. A parish officer from the neighbourhood of Middleton took a lunatic to the Asylum, pursuant to an order signed by two magiettatee. As the man was respectably connected, ,a gig was hired for the purpose, and he was persuaded that it was merely an excursion of pleasure on which he wes going. In the course of the journey, however, something Occurred to arouse the suspicions of the labatic with respect to his real destination ; but he said nothing oa the subject, made no resistance, and seemed to enjoy his jaunt. When they arrived at Lancaster, it wee too late in the evening to proceed to the Asylum, and they took up their quarters for the night at en ion. Very early in the twinning the lunatic gut up, mitt searched the pockets of the offi, er, where he found the magistrates' order fur his own detention, whi,'h of course let him completely into the secret. With that cunning Which madmen not %infrequently display, he made the bele of Us way to the Asylum, saw one of the keepers, and told him that he had got geed mad fellow down at LalleaS-. ter, whom he should bring np in the course of the day ; add ing," He's a very, queer fellow, an has got very add ways. For instance, I should not wonder if be was to say 1 was the madman, and that he was bringing.me ; but yon must take care of him, and not believe a w ,rd that he says." The keeper of course promised compliance, and the lunatic walked back to th e i na , w h ere In. foam! the - overseer stilt fast asleep. He awoke him, and they at doWa to breakfast together. " You're a very lazy fel low to be lying all day. I have had a goo d l ong stalk this morning." " Indeed," sail the overseer, "1 should. like to have a walk myself after breakfast: perhaps you will go with me." The lunatic assented; sod after breakfast they set out, the overseer leading the way to. wards the Asylum, intending to deliver his charg e; hut it never occurred to him to examine wh e th er h is order was safe. When they got within sight of the :try luin_, the lunatic exclaimed, " What a fine house that le!" " Yes," said the overseer, " I should like to see the ids of it." " So should I," observed the lunatic. " Well,'' said the other, " I dare say they will let us look through; however, I'll ark." They went to the door; the over seer rang the belt; and the keeper, whom . the lunatic hail previously seen, made his appearance with 2 or three as- ststants. The oveeseer then began to fumble la hie pockets for the order, when thelunatic produzed and gave it to the keeper, saying " This is the man I yoke to you about, you will take rare of him ; shave his head, and put a strait waiteoat on him." The men immediately laid hands on the poor overseer, who voolferaked loudly that the other was the madman, and he th.tieeper ; but as this only seemed to confirm the story prtyioa,ly ;old by , the lunatic, it did not stall tend to procure his liberaiioa. He was taken away, and became so very obstreperoue, that a strait waistcoat was speedily put upon him. an I his head was shaved secundum arteet. Meanwhile the lunatic walked deliberately back to the inn, paid the reckoning, and set out on his joarney•homew.:rd. The good people in the country were, of emirs?, nut a little stir, r sed on finding the wrong man return ; they were I afraid that the lunatic in a fit of frenzy hail murdered the overseer ; and they asked him, with great trepidation, what he had done with ? Dune with him," said the'madman," wbylleft him at Lancaster Asylum, ' as mad esti-1; ' which, indeed, was not far from truth ; for the Wits of the poor overseer were well nigh overset by his' tmextected detention, and subsequent treatment, Furtherinqutry was forthwith made ; it was ascertained that the man was actually in the Asylum. A Magistrate's order was procured for his liberation ; and he returned linate on Wednesday last, with a handkerchief tied round ' his head, in lieu of the covering, whh.;ll Nature had bc , stowed upon it. ------= _ t r:.. ,: ;. ! _..~ J_i 'a 4
