costs. The defendants did not pay the money, and they
were leeked 11i. This was on the Whit Tuesday, and on
the following morning the money was paid and they
were released. Ile should prove that on the Wednesday
learning Jones, Shileick, and another person named
Robert. went to the bank, signed • cheque. and drew
out a sum of £4O. Now, it would be shown that each an
amount could not have been required for any purposes
of the society. At the annual meeting which toil place
on Whit-Monday there was a sum of £92 9s. 44. at the
bank, and rash in the bands of the trustees amounting to
£5O Ile. Id. Having, then, this sum in hand on the
Monday, it was utterly impossible that on the following
Wednesday the £lO should be ri pared for any legitimate
purpose. Ile should also prove by the other Omar.,
Roberts, who had since resigned, that at the first monthly
meeting afterwards the three defendants declined to give
any information respecting the £4O. They received the
contributions that night, and walked away without afford-
ing any explanation whatever. At the next meeting
many of the members asked what had been done with the
£4O, and the defendant Jones said he had paid it away iu
law expenses connected with the late trial, and could
produce receipts for it. Mr. Shakespeare then proceeded
to read from the rules of the society, and, in answer to
an objection raised by Mr. Motteram at the outset of the
trial, that a person could not prefer such • charge except
it was someone on behalf of the society who was
authorised, he contended that by one of the:rules it was
lawful for proceedings to be taken upon complaint mule
by any person on behalf of such society. He maintained
that even a stranger might make it, but Brett'. was •
, member directly interested in the funds of the society.
That person, too, was backed by 100 members out of the
250 in the society to make that complaint. They bad
requested him to do so, and he was thus for authorised
by the society.
. . _ . .

, -
Mr. Jaffrey said that under Rule 6 a penalty warn im-
posed upon a person misapplyiug money. Had any
attempt been made to get the money repaid ? The rule
said that any officer misapplying the funds should repay
the same, or be excluded, Had the course here pointed
out been adopted ?
Mr. Shakespeare said the defendants had been fre-
quently called upon to refund the money, but they had
not been excluded. Re did not Bee, however, that be-
cause the society had omitted to pass • reeolution
excluding the defendants that they should escape.
Mr. Mottermu here contended that the Act of Par-
liament pointed out that proceedings of that kind should
be taken by the Registrar, and under Rule 6. There were
nearly 300 members of that society, and somebody (not
an officer, although a member) was said to be authorised
by a portion of the society to take these proceedings. If
they were acting under Rule 6 they would then learn
why the proceedings were taken, the real purses, who
took them, and the animus that actuated them, and they
would learn that polities were not excluded.
Colonel Fletcher: They are excluded as far ea this
Bench is concerned, and I may say that I have convicted
when a single member has been a complainant.
Mr. Motteram said he would not hesitate to assert that
if Colonel Fletcher had c invicted upon the evidence of •
single member charging officers with mis-applying money,
that he had convicted wrongly- The Act of Parliament
mild such proceedings mast be taken 4' on behalf of the
society." and when the sense of the members had been
ascertained. It further stated that they might be taken
by the registrar, but he denied that the Court had any
jurisdiction, except the person patting in force the
criminal law was authorised by resolution duly passed by
the society.
Mr. Shakespeare urged that Hrettle was authorised, as
far as the ItCh members were concerned; but the Act of
. Parliament did not say that any person must be autho-
rised by the society to do it. The Act of Parliament
said the complaint might be made by any person on be-
half of the society ; but all he wanted to do was to pro.
, tact the funds of the society, and if the defendants would
now show that they had the money ready to pay over,
there was an end of the case.
! Further discussion took place with a view to bring
about an arrangement, but it was decided to go into the
! merits of the case.

Edward Bast—erfield watt called. and he said he was the
secretary of the society. On Whit-Mondoy the trustees
of the society were appointed. John Jones and John
Shilvock were reelected, and Samuel Roberta reeigned
his office after the trial for rioting. Hetheridge was ap-
pointed in his place, and Budge was appointed on Whit-
Monday. The trustees paid for the feast on Whit-Mon-
day. It amounted to about £24. and was paid out of the
fluids of the society. The trustees bad cash in hand
amounting to £.50 118. Id. on the 25th May. when there
was £92 9s. 41. in the bank. On the Whit Wednesday
the trustees told him they had drawu £4O, and they said
they had done no because they had no money. He did
not ssk them why they required the £4O. He did not
ask what they had done with the £5O lls. Id. They
ought to have that amount in hand. He had not had an
account produced as to how that sum had been disposed
of. It was usual for the trustees to furnish an account
every audit, which only took place once • year. There
was a funerel (£l2) paid for between Whit-Monday and
Whit Wednesday. He knew nothing else besides the ZU
for the feast and the £l2 for the funeral that had been
paid away. No other bills had been produced except the
two he now hail ted in. 0.3 Was for Job., Jones for
working and travelling expenses, 17s. 01. The journeyo
were for going to Mr. Stokes to instruct as to the
revision of the rules. He could not show by the minutes
that a resolution to alter the rules had been passed. The
resolution was at Mr. Stokes's ofilce. John Jones also
went to Birmingham, but he did not know what for. He
had never inquired. He knew of no business of the
society which would take hire to Birmingham. The
second bill was for Thomas Budge, the president, and
amounted to £2 Ifs. 6d. This expense wu incurred in
connection with the revision of the rules.
Mr. Motteram maid he must here take the opinion of the
Bench as to whether such an examination upon proceed.
ings of that kind was to be allowed. He should have
thought that his friend would have been able to point to
particular sums which were said to be miaapplied, in-
stead of making a fishing excureion in the hope of find-
ing aomething which could only be explained by those
who had their mouths closed.
Mr. Shakespear : I gin obliged to fish, and particularly
in order to—
Mr. Motterani: I must really ask the Bench for a
decision whether it Is fair, right, or proper to come there
to fight a case, and, instead of doing so, to take steps only
when an that Court to prove it.
Mr. Gem : The Bench decide that Mr. Shakespeare
may go on to show the amount of the deficiency.
Examination resumed : The trustees had now in hand
the sum of £44 16s. At the first lodge meeting after
Whit-Mone'ay he heard no inquiry as to what had become
of the £4O. The truateee could keep the money and do
what they liked with it till the audit. He had known
them make use of it, and some of the trustees bad traded
upon it. They bad a perfect right to keep the money in hand. No resolution hal ever been passed that the
moneys should be paid inter the bank. These meetings
were for collecting and paying contributions. Minutes
were only taken of the committee meetings. He did not
bear Roberto inquire from Jones what he had done with the £4O. He had beard no inquiries about the mosey,
Cron -exam Med : The trustees might have expended the
whole of the money without his knowledge. They would
only have to account for it at the audit or to the commit-
tee, which consieted of ten members. The defendants
had been reelected to their respective offices. There
were about fifty members present at the time they were
re-elected. The club feast was authorised by the meet-
ing.
All the members partook of that feast. The com-
plainant was at the dinner. The inajorfty of the members
disapprove of these legal proceedings. He had no reason
to believe that the defendants would not produce the
money when called upon the audit. They had a perfect
r-ght to the money until the auditlle .
examioe I: He said this notwithstanding the rule
ae to the investment of money. The rules, he believed,
hail been complied with by the defendants.
Further ividence Wad taken, nd an adjournment
thee took place. In the meantime a conference Wad held
between the parties on both slice. At the the close of it
Mr. Gem Ole presiding magietratel said the proceedings
were at an end, and an arrangement would be entered in-
to which would he satisfactory to all parties.
