Challis with onbutling various small amount.nesived by
him dais' it,' last five years on behalf of the Royal Liver
FriendlySor9a4y, his euthilyers, the amount of the alleged
defalcations bong estimated: at about 001. a year upon an
average.
Mr. Metcalfe appeared for the promotion, and Mr. Sleigh
for the deface&
The facts elicited with regard to **charge were, that the
prisooer wits employed by the Royal Liver Flimsily Society
as collector, at a ocounisim ef 26 oat. so the amount
collected, and that is • incristy of faeMnew he had resolved
sums of ld., SA., and &L esti Iron persona in a very humble
sphere in life to assure cutsia allowances in sickness and at
death, some of which sums he had wholly failed to account
for, and portions of ahem be bad withheld ; and it was
chows that the totals in his eollecting.book were iseenest,
and that the entries wean so arranged se to smith the pri•
sonar to sacertain elneost at any moment the must he had
embeaded, a cypher Wag entered to denote a otheeription
not paid, and two mall dashes to indicate a sutecription
received and not accounted for. The prisoner was tried in
September last cm three charges in connexion with several
similar detalostiene, and acquitted on technical grounds, sad
it wu alleged for the defame that both prossontines wen
got up he a vindictive spirit, became the pnri.mer had exerted
Ws Whims is favour of mother society.
Altiermsa Ctallie was very such struck with the doom-
stances which trammired relative to the existence of the
Royal Liver Friendly Society. It appeared there was 80,000
members in Leedom, Liverpool, and other plan, about half
that number residing in London. The grow income of the
swirl was 77,000 t. a year, and the worthy sideman wen
ap endive that after paying nearly 20,0001. • year
Dodos, for
co lotion, besides rent for offices in Liverpool,
Dublin, and other parts, expenses of management, ho.,
it would leave • balance altogether Insufficient to meet the
claims on the society if it ma intended to biome a perma-
nent institution. .

Yee. Yetcalf~ explained that although the commission
seemed high, the money was collected in arch small amouste
and by gabs round from house to bows in the very poorest
Neighbourhoods that is nollesoosareald not be dare foe Imo la
the present Umberto* the had bees bye yesse the

appropritad to his own um subscriptions to the mom, of
IL per week. Slaw the defakations bad bees discovered
the sweaty bad bees called upon to pay 401. upon policies
which had been cancelled in the belief that the holders were
is arrears, whereas the prisoner bad regularly received their
anbecriptious.
Alderman Challis said he should commit the prisoner for
trial on all the charge*. It was • 'root heartless and cruel
offetocei, inasmuch as the poor people who insured spirt
calamity bad nothing but the card on which was entered
their =headpieces as they were paid to show they were
not in arrests, and if that were last their claims on the
society could not be proved or enforced. He suggested.
farther, that the company should change the collectors and
their district* from time to time, so that any deficieocy by
one collector might be detected by hie suocamor before it
leeched a serious amount. . . . . .

Te.";;;;;i7na committed for trial, bail being refried
for his ',peerage*.
Thomas Allen, a clerk in the employ of Mr. H. H. Hard,
the Recorder of Hastings and Rye, was charged before
/Warman Challis with the following offences :
Mr. Louis Lora appeared for the defence.
Mr. Butterworth. a kw bookseller and publisher, of
Fketekest, said Mr. Burst, of the Temple, was indebted
to Idin for law book' to the amount of It. 7s. He rot in
the invite* produced, bat had not authorised the prisoner
or aey re else to write the receipt which it now ram,
neither had he received the money.
Polireenstable Hall mid be received the invoke and re-
ceipt produced from Mr. Butterworth, and upon asking
the prisoner to whom he paid the moor, he admitted he
had not paid any one. At the prisoner's lodger he found
two duplicate' relating to a droning. case pledged for 4., end
some articles of jewellery pledged for U.
The property in question having been produced,
Mr. Hurst said—About the end of September bat I wee
at Barrington, and sent up a Post-oaks order to the pri.
'ref for 31., with directions to pay Mr. Butterworth's ac-
count and other little matters. When I returned to town
I asked him for the receipts, and after various:nue and
delays he produced two receipts, one of which was for Mr.
Butterworth's account of 11. 7s. About the came time he
missed a dressing-ere, containing, besides the fittings,
several articles of Jewellery. The prisoner said he krw
nothing_ about it. The dressing-cue produced is the same I
lost. Tin value of it whoa new was ifs.
It having bees shown that the property in queries was
