WORSHIP-STREff.
LNOTHIN TIICrDLY LCD AWN SOCIETY IN TIOOILI.
Mr. Wiliene Jona, of Glosomferetrest, Hoxics, mem
tar, to the Sous of Britannia Birmingham Prised], Society,
vu automated before Mr. Leigh to Mow muse why be on-
lawfully refined to receive the sum of de. Bd. from so
ederly man named Thomas Orme, that being the amount
.f two months' contributioa to the society of which he had
Log been a member.
The case of the complaisant, by trade a silk weaver, was,
ttat Le bad PAIN a Inganklat of the society ever rime All
fonadattoo, five or six years ago, and regularly paid Ms mu-
Mbutions until be had the misfortune to be seised with a
nervous debility which compelled him to claim the boodle
of the nudely. These he acknowl-dled that he resnival
to a very eossiderable time, when the last, sad
diminished soils of allowance, was stopped, and be
was told he must undergo a examination by the medical
oMuw. This was of no use at all, as the doctor could sot
pre him a ritisfactory certificate while be continued in the
ease state of health, and he had therefore tendered them
the amount of contributions that would be doe from him,
w as to matinee a member, but they had positively refined
to receive it, aad he wee 000sequistly a:4o,o'y tarsal oat
if the society.
Mr. Jocose mid the complainant had, in fact, excluded
basset from the society by not complying with the I'M
r 34, which said that no person could beadruitted • member
*no had sot been pared by the medical officer. Grose bad
Imo a 'nimble the length of time stated. and bad been
tossidered • good mambos up to last Christmas, bat the
I.:: was that his Ulnae had been of such loog duration
not he had run out the whole benefit.' he could
Far 13 weeks be had received the full allowance
per week, as well as medical attendmoe ; for 13
more, 6a per week, or half-pay, and for the same, or
a ..bger time, a musics of 2i. 6d. per week; and for flee
c‘, tae past, io fact, he had not paid a a:peace to the funds.
complaisant had sever been medically pained, as they
1,1 no medical officer when the society 1111.4 formed,
I-: now they hr I, and if the oomplainaot re-
',rt.! a certificate from him they were willing to
him v.. a member. He bad been a most expensive
for though he had received this large amount of
too Le still seemed to expect the same booming, for he had
reroncedeclared off its fonds. He received the money,
•-nnrt, till it was found that if be were allowed to do so
:,,crer it would be the means of tweaking the society up.

with the pessimism% or it would do away with

Mi. Lei;l2 said sorely they bed not excluded the man
because be turned out to be • more expensive member
,:-14 they originally thought he would be. The man had
"4 accepted , subscribed for five or six pure, and then,
he had fallen ill and become expensive, the very

him. He wondered that people could motions to

, out to them by such societies. Was this oneof
•• which had appealed so strongly saltiest Mr. Glad-
. 3r• oues said no, it was not ; bat they were certainly
- v.ry unfortunate position. At one time they bed u
- r as 140 members, but such a number of them turned
.icic members. sod entailed such an enormous ex-
S- that they were obliged to close the box, and resolved
