Cn•atia OF DAWNING MONEY.— William Stafford,
residing at the Saracen's Head. Dudley-street, Brierley
Hill, was summonsed for refusing to give up to the trea-
surer of the United Free liardeeers Proteetion Lodge
and Friendly Society the et= of I:3 2s kl.—Mr. Cialow
appeared on behalf of the Society, and said the Lodge
was formerly held at the defendant's house. There were
25 members in the Lodge, but in consequence of the
badness of the ale the number was reduced to 16, and by
the advice of the district and other members it was de-
cided to remove the Lodge to another polnic.house.
Defendant had often been applied to for the money, but
he refused to give it up, and they were obliged to sum-
mone him to recover it. Defendant had offered to give
up the money if the Lodge would spend 15s in ale.—
Witnesses were called to prove the above facts.—For the
defence it was contended that the Lodge owed him seve-
ral sums of money, one item being £1 18a for dinners
supplied to the metubere of the club.—This, Mr. Clulow
said, was gives by the landlord at the opening of the
club, and they had never heard one word of it until after
the numinous was taken out—Oue of the witnesses time
the complainant said they had hnd the dinner and did
not pay for it as it wits given to the members of the
Club for the Lodge ti be held there —The learned Sti-
pendiary said it woe unquestionably a di.puted account,
amid the County Court was the proper place to try the
question. Biel the homey been fraudulently detained
lie could have dealt with it—The case was then dis-
missed.
