EXPOSURE OF A FRADULENT BENEFIT
SOCIETY AT DUDLEY.

At the Public-office, Dudley, on Wednesday, Mr.
Burton, superintendent of police, made an application to
the bench under the following circumstances. -Some
time ago a benefit society was started in the Wellington-
road, called " The People's Family Life Assurance and
General Sick Benefit Society." This society guaranteed
for the payment of 9d. per week, the sum of £8 at death
and a wockly allowance in time of sickness, and a great
number of working men invested their money in it.
About six months ago another society,. called " The
Royal Provident Institution," was opened in King-
street, and the business of the first office was transferred
to the " Royal" without the consent of the parties in-
vesting. The rules of the " Royal Society" were certi-
fied by Tidd Pratt, Esq., and bore the signatures of
three directors. The first of these directors is a vouth
about eighteen years of age ; the second is a young man ;
and the third is a boy about sixteen or seventeen years
of age, who is an apprentice to a surgeon at Dudley.
These young men have been in the habit of signing
blank policies as directors. Upon the removal of " The
People's" business, the surgeon removed the books to
the King-street society, and is stated to have received
money as a director, a secretary, and an agent, also
receiving money at different periods. Upon some of the
investors applying for sick pay recently, they found " no
effects." The victims, therefore, applied for aid to the
police authorities, and a man, named Moore, living at
Princess Eud, produced his policy, &c., on Wednesday,
and stated that he had paid 245. into the societies, and
that upon applying for sick pay he was unable to obtain
it. He applied for a warrant against the surgeon, secre-
tary, agent, and three " directors." The application
for warrants were granted. From inquiries made by
Mr. Burton since the bubble has burst, it appears that
upwards of £l,OOO or £5,000 is invested in the two
societies, the number of Moore' policy being 4,011.
Agents have been appointed in various towns, including
Scarborough, Bolton, Leicester, Birmingham, and from
these agents Mr. Burton has received letters, stating
that they have paid money into the society, addressed to
Mr. Keen, as secretary. It is understood that the secre-
tary has absconded. The other parties against whom
warrants have been issued, will probably be brought
before the bench on Monday next.

The old and bad system of bounties on codfish taken
off Newfoundland by the French vessels would expire in
1861. The Curps Legislatif has just prolonged that
protective dole to 1871, mainly actuated by the consi-
deration that this fishery is the only source France has
for supply of seamen to her navy, there being 14,000
hands on board the various craft oa the cod-banks. A
similar system of bounties on fish is still kept up by the
United States Government.

We understand that no fewer than nine brewers will
shortly appear at the West Riding Police-court, charged
ith adulterating their beer with cocculus indices, grains
of paradise, and other injurious drugs (the former being
absolutely poisonous), the penalty for which offence is
1200. We also learn that two druggists will have at
the same time to answer the more serious charge of
selling these drugs, knowing that they were to be em-
ployed in the adulteration of beer, the penalty for which
is £soo.—llalifax Guardian.

ILLEGITIMACY IN FRANCE.—The French Govern-
ment is wisely endevouring, by every means, to urge
the recognition of illegitimate children by their parents.
One of the measures just adopted has given great satis-
faction, and displays a degree of imagination on the
part of the authorities which induces the belief that it
is but the first of a series of small surprises destined to
carry hope and joy into the heart of that immense popu-
lation of what are delicately called " irregular children,"
of which the lower orders of the French people are said
to be entirely composed. By a recent decree it is or-
dained that the mother of two illegitimate or irregular
sons, who had the misfortune, or, in this case, rather
the happiness, to lose the eldest son while serving in the
army, may claim exemption from military service for
the second, provided she has taken the precaution of
legalising her recognition of both. A proof of the
good effect of the measure is the increase in the number
of recognitions which has taken place at the different
Mairies since the decree has been made known. In
the provincial towns this circumstance has been even
more remarkable, and much hope in the increase of
morality and family union likewise is expressed by the
village priests and mayors as being the result.
TUE EARL OF LEITRIM AND TIIE CHAPEL OF
GORILITEERA.—A correspondent of the Irish Times
says :—" It will be remembered that some time ago a
trial took place in the town of Carrick-on-Shannon, in
wl.ich the Earl of Leitrim sought and obtained posses-
sion of the above chapel, which is situate about three
miles from the town of Drumlish. Since then he
claimed his right to possess the building, but has been
steadfastly refused by the parishoners, and he accord-
ingly claimed the protection of the soldiery and police
in order to enforce his right. On Saturday evening, a
company of the 15th Regiment of Foot arrived in the
town for the above purpose, and I understand a troop
of cavalry is also on its way. To-day, the Earl of Lei-
trim came into town per rail, at half past ten o'clock,
and was received at the railway station by an immense
crowd. He, however, did not seem the least disturbed
by the reception he received, but walked coolly down
the street and entered the hotel, amidst the hisses and
groans of hundreds of people. On his arrival there, he
stopped for some time, and the crowd, having vastly
increased in numerical strength, gave vent to their feel-
ings in most opprobrious epithets, but, notwithstanding
all, his lordship, nothing daunted, mounted the box-seat
of his carriage in the hotel yard and drove out along
the Strokestown-road at a rapid pace, followed by the
crowd, hissing, yelling, and casting stones after the car-
riage. His lordship simply lifted his hat from his head
for an instant or two, and then drove away. Tomorrow
will decide the fate of the chapel, but I scarcely think
that the congregation will hold out very long against
such a formidable force as will be assembled." On Tues-
day it was quietly surrendered.

HOLLOWAY'S PILLS AND OINT)ILNT.—In angry or indolent
sores, and all skin diseases originating in impure or weak
blood, or depraved secretions, the joint agency of Holloway's
Pills and Ointment is perfectly irresistible. It is of little con-
sequence how long these disorders may have lasted, or how
sluggish, obstinate, or malignant they may seem, the dai;y
application of the Ointment to the parts affected, and a course
of these matchless Pills, will most certainly effect a cure, not
temporary or superficial, but complete and permanent. Both
the Ointment and Pills are composed of rare balsams, unmixed
with mercury or any other deleterious substance. They are,
accordingly, as mild and safe as they are powerful and
efficacious.

NEW INVENTION.—TME NEW FOUNTAIN PLN.---A greater
annoyance than a bud steel pen can hardly be met with—the
difficulty is to get a good one. Amongst the recent improve-
ments the new " fountain pen," just introduced by Rudhall
and Co., is the best we have ever seen. By a simple but effec-
tive contrivance the ink is retained in a fountain, by means of
a second inverted barrel, above the writingnib, and this barrel
can be taken out at 'any time, so the pen can be kept perfectly
clean without any chance of being corroded. Another feature
in this pen is, that one dip in the ink will last for five minutes'
quick writing. The pen itself is of the finest description, and
in merchants' offices, banks, and indeed in every place, it will
be found to fill a- want felt by every one up to this time. We
have tried this splendid pen, handed to us by MK* E. T. Ilan,
South John-street, and can pronounce it perfect, and we are
sure all who use it will give a full verdict in its favour.
