CURIOUS FRIENDLY SOCIETY Casz.—At the
Police Court, on Tuesday, before Captain Bourne
irld Mr. Arthur Ryland, an informatson was heard
between Peter Hemus. a member of a friendly
society, held at the Old Rose and Crown Inn,
Lickey Hills, Bromsgrove (on behalf of the mem-
bers of the society), against Charles and Richard
Randal', tte stewards of the society, for that they,
on the 2nd of June (Whit-Monday),eid apply .£2
5s to certain purposes other than those expressed
in the rules, to nit, in "expenses attending Whit.
Monday," contrary to the 24th section of 18 and
19 VictoCii., c. 63. Mr. Smith, of Birmingham.
who appeared for the complainant, said he was
inst ueted by a large number of the members of
the r society who had made complaint at the
society's meetings upon many occasions of the
misappropriation of the funds in the manner men-
tioned in the summons, and :sad always been met
by insults from some of the members. Having
stated the case to the Bench, he called upon the
secretary, Edward Harris, in compliance with a
subpcena, to produce the books and accounts of
the society. These were produced, and from
them, and the secretary's statements, it appeared
that on Wnit-Monday the sum of .62 5s was ex-
pended by the defendants as stewards, 15s of
which was for the rent of rooms, and the remainder
for other expenses, which included bread and
cheese, and beer, before the members went to
church, and for all afterwards. At the request of
Mr. Ilolyoake, who appeared for the defendants,
the secretary produced the minute book of the
society, which showed that at a general meeting
of the members held on the 9th of March, 1871,
the landlord's demand for 15s for the use of the
rooms was taken into consideration, and it was re-
solved that, in preference to removing the Society
from the house, the amount ',demanded should be
paid. This sum of 15e, Mr. Ilolyoake contended,
was, in pursuance of that resolution, such a sum
as would be applied according to the rules. With
regard to the balance of 30s, he said he was bound
to admit that defendants had, by paying for bread
and cheese, and beer, applied the money for pur-
poses other than those directed by the rules, but
that in doing so they had followed the wish of a

goodly number of the members, and also in com-
pliance with a resolution passed at a meeting on
the 19th of May, when the members present voted
a sum of £2 10s for the expenses of Whit-Monday,
which, according to the rules, they had no power
to do. The Magistrates considered the COM
proved as to the misappropriation of the sum of
30s, but believed the stewards acted in the
manner they had done more in ignorance than in
a wanton spirit. They shoald not, therefore, in.
flict any fine, but order the sum of 30e to be re-
funded, and the costs (20s), to be paid. If mem.
hers took upon themselves the office of steward,
they should become acquainted with the rules and
I laws governing the society, and act according to
I them.
