THE HEARTS OF OAK FRIENDLY SOCIETY.

At the Marlborough-street police-court yesterday,
Mr. Evan Evans, of No. 18, Greekvitriset, was summoned
before Mr. Knox, for that he being
_the secretary of the
Hearts of Oak Friendly Society, !cid given to Thomas
Nye, • member of the society, • copy of the rules which
bed not bees enrolled with the clerk of the peace of the
empty, or oestifled by the registrar of friendly societies, Mr.
Tided Prafl.
Mr. Herbert Wood appeared to support the summons ;
and Mr. Lewis, of Ely-piece, for the defence.
Thomas Nye, carpenter and joiner, said he became•
member of the society on the 9th of November last. Oe that
night he received • printed copy of the roles from the de-
hardens, the secretary of the society.
Orres-examisad—Tien were • great many members Tore-
soot when the rides were given to him. The book had been
altered by the defendant's son since he had received it. He
was aerials it was the defendant who gave him the book,
sad not the emu:nines. Had not subscribed to procure the
removal of the defeadent

Mr. Wood said he was instructed by Mr. Allen, who re-
present
veed 8000 E out
nosof the 10,000 members, and who wished
to remo Mr. .
Mr. Allan, carpenter, said he proposed Nye as a member of
the society, and he saw Nye receive a book of rides.
Cross-examined—The book had since been altered by a
date being added, the 20th of November. The present
summons wee takes out by him os behalf of the reform
movement in the society, and 8,000 o 4 the members were
with him and subscribing towards the expenses of the
pelmet prooesdinp. There were 10,700 members in the
society, and 8,000 were trying to get a proper book of rules.
Macs the rules had been certified by Mr. Pratt
several alterations had been made, but not cer-
tified as they ought to lave been. He had
made *airier at Mr. T. Pratt's offices in consequearis
of an error in the committee's report which involved a sum
of I,OOW. He had ascertained that there were twenty
alterations is the original rules. One of the rules bad rela-
tion to the appointmeot of an saclike.
Mr. Lewis said all that the defendant had dose wee to
obey the orders of the superior officers of the society. There
wen nothing to show that the defendant knew of the alters.
Lions in the rules, or the contented the book given to com-
piebald. To support an indictment against the defendant
it must be shown that something unlawful was done or in-
I tended. The Alt/ratios referred to have been made from
time to time by several committees.
Mr. Knox said the erasure from the rules of • paid au-
ditor appeared to him to be a vital matter. It was clear
that a large body of the members wished to remove the
defeedant The simplest way to meet such a ease was for
the secretary to resign, and then if the majority of the
members wee in hie favour tthbeeyy could reelect him. He
thought also that the rules ought to be reprinted, and that
the moralism had great muse dd complaint.
Mr. Lewis said the rules were being reprinted.
Mr. Knox said be could not exonerate the defendant from
the charge that he had been circulating rules altered from
the rules certified by Mr. T. Pratt. The defendant, he was
told, had stated that be would hold Aloe in defiance of the
members. Now he would remand the eerie for a fortnight,
to give the defendant time to consider his determination, and
if at the next examination the matter wee not satisfactorily
settled be would commit the defendant for trial. Hs would
recommend that a summons be also taken out against
Howard, who acted as chairman on the night when the
rules were issued to the complainant.
