to Jane Hill, the widow of a ire* inalabee, beial the re-
waindir of funeral woorrorys duo to her on the death of her
husband.

It appeared that the latter had beat a member of the
eodet► for shoat eight years, ha►ing paid all dues ep to the
time of b death in March last. The complainant applied
fo► the funeral matey to the truism, sad Mated of re-
inlets' WA alto was ail paid 71. to.. beiog all the mosey
they had. She y applied for the Warm, and Dot
bsiag able to obtain it, she took the poem* promedings a
fortaight ago. Mr. Wool:yak, after bearing the ease,
directed some Jaquith, to be made about the roaaspineat
of the society, God adjooresi it fora fortaight.
As soca as the ones was called ea, Mr. Woolrych asked
the dateedant how it tram that the moiety bad sot peid the
complaimint her hoshasid'a femoral messy, after recariag his
rioatributioo for eight ►ears.
Defendant did not know aaythiog about that. He had
rely bees sacrelary six mouths. Mr. Mahar was cemetery
Woes him for six yearn and a half.
Mr. Woolryak—Who recei►s the coatraratisos of the
sounhen

DeisTriiiint—The stewards ; and they are shamed
monthly.
Mr. Woolrych—Wbat is it their duty to do with that
money?
Defeadent—Enter the sums in a boob; sad pay them to the
landlord of the tavern, who is the trosaturer for the time
being.
Mr. Woolryeb—What does be do with the mosey!
Defendant—Weep it nail required, sir.
Mr. Wool:midi—What ens the average receipts of the
iDee7 indent—The payment of each member is 9s. imoothly,
sad when they had tarty it was is a flourishing oonditios.
The old member, however, have died off, and sow they lad
only twenty, sad as they could sot get any young roseaben
to min them the feeds moo got ezbausted. At the time
the complainant applied, there were two other widows, and
the members divided all the raw they had between *ea,
giving them 71. se. seek.
Yr. Wooll7ch—Did you seed in an account of your ia-
solverier to the registrar?
Deleodsot—No, shr. We did not know anything about
that.

Woolryeb—Yen must know that you were bound to
do that by sot of parilynest. It is monstrous for • society
to go on marring money from poor people when the °Soon
must have knows that it was Impalesaly insolvent.
Dateodant-1 don't know myth* about that. Iwe
up the esoreinryship two maths ago, and I don't know who
is the seerstary.
Mr. Woolryek—Hew long he. the society been anrollsd
by the Registry of Friendly Societies?
Defendant—About eight months, sir.
Mr. Wookych—Theo you have never sent in a Wanes
'loot to the registrar!
Deifydsat—No, rir. I did not know that I had any oc-
casion to do se Rs eery called on me for one.

Yr. Wookick—You wore bound to sued one is annually.
Has the leedlord got env 11012117 In head now?
Defeedent—No, sir. We have lees than 20 ineenbers, and
that does sot half pay the sink members.
Yr. Woolryeh—l thistle your °Deduct very foolish in
aaer • oa the society with so few member. Yon ought
to base wound it up keg ago, instead of receiving
mosey, thereby giviag the nimbus, who appear to
be poor ignorant roes, se idea that their widows would
receive the beesfits of their subscriptions. It is a sod
ease for this poor widow, bet after investiga-
ting all the alreenistaneee of the society, f ea
matieried there bas bees so inalvereaticso or peculation at
the funds. The society hes died a natural death. When it
first came before sae I thought it had been enrolled semi
years, whisk induced me to look carefully into
the matter ; ouch it not the case. Therefore, under
all the ekluismitances, I cannot farther help the
widow, who hes, however, been fortunate enough
to have received 7t. ss. out of the lOC. lem afraid that
there are many other poor isais societies in a wone state
of ineolveocy.
