GUILDHALL.—IMPORTANT QUESTION TO DEPOSITORS
IN BUILDING BOCIETIES.-11. Brookes, manager and trea-
surer of the British Building Society, was summoned at the
instance of D. Clifford, to show cause why the society re-
fused to repay money deposited by him with the society, as
the holder of a share. The complainant made application
for withdrawal, in writing, on the 7th of August, and on
the 18th of October received a reply from the secretary.,
stating that there were then 213 applications before the
board for withdrawals, and that the complainant's name
would toe placed on the list, end he would be entitled to be
paid in rotation. The complainant was dissatisfied with
that letter, and sent a notice to the defendant, requiring
that his case should be submitted to arbitration, but the
defendant refused to receive it because he had not strictly I
complied with the rules. Complainant said he was al
poor man, and was desirous of leaving London, end
required the 121. which he had deposited with the so-1
mety.—Mr. Serjeant C. Jones, who appeared on behalf of
the society, objected that the complainant had no locus
standi before the magistrate, not having complied with the
rules of the society, which required, that before any share-
holder should be entitled to withdraw his share, one month's
notice should be given to the secretary thereof, and in the
case of more than one person applying, then, that the per-
eons so applying should be paid in rotation, as the funds of
the society would permit, and also, that in all cues of dispute,
application must be made to the board, and then a notice of
demand, submitting • claim to arbitration should be served,
the rule providing that any person so demanding arbitration
should, at the time of making such demand, deposit the sum
of 15s. The complainant, in this ease, had not complied
with these rules, and as he had chosen to stand on his legal
rights, the society were entitled and bound to do the 'same,
representing as it did *large body of shariholders, and there
being at the present time 130 shareholders who took prece-
dence of the complainant —Aid. Copeland said he and his
brother aldermen felt strongly impressed with the injustice
that had been pursued towards the complainant, and con•
demned the conduct of the manager in not laying the notice
of arbitration before the board ; technical objections had
been made which they were bound to admit, and the sum-
mons must be discharged, but they should take care the mat-
ter was taken up by the City solicitor, and proceeded with
legally on behalf of the poor complainant.

BOW-STREET.---ROBBERT IT • SOLDIER.—J.Saterey,
a private in the Grenadier Guards, was charged with stealing
a silver watch.—Mr. R. Jones stated that about four o'clock
in the morning he was going down Holborn, perfectly sober,
when, at the Middle-row, the prisoner, who was intoxicated,
accosted him, and said he would accompany him home ; he
continued to walk beside him, and suddenly snatched at his
guard chain which he broke, pulling the watch from his
pocket. Witness took the watch from him, and gave him
into custody.—Constable 57 E proved having seen the prose-
cutor and prisoner walking together hand in hand, and hear-
ing the alarm, he took charge of the prisoner, who said he
was merely pushing the prosecutor from him and the guard
snapped asunder, hut he never touched the'watch.—The pri-
soner said in hie defence that the prosecutor assaulted him,
and while he was resisting, the chain broke, but he never
saw the watch. He was fully committed.
WORSHIP-STREET.—PoLica TEETIIIONT.—J. Doyle
was re-examined, charged with assaultiag the police. At
the former examination 1). Bryan, K 154, deposed that,
while on duty in Mile-end New-town, he otserved the
prisoner conducting himself in a riotous and disorderly man-
ner, and, on requesting him to go quietly home, he assailed
him: with a volley of abuse, and struck him two violent
blows in the face. The prisoner then retreated down
en adjoining street, but was purseed and overtaken
by witness, who proem. d the assistance of a private
watchman, and, after a protracted resistance, be war con-
veyed to the station-house.—Layal, the watchman, and pi).
lim-constabie B 146, stated, that they found the policeman
struggling on the ground with the prisoner, and saw the wife
of the latter seize the constable by the hair, and endeivour
to rescue her husband ; neither of the witnesses was present
at the commencement of the affray.--In answer to the
charge, the prisoner positively denied having assaulted the
constable, who, he alleged, had interfered with him in the
first instance, without the slightest provocation, and subse-
quently subjected him to the most brutal violence.—
Sarah Ball, residing next door to the pris at a. now
stated that on the night in question she iw the
prisoner approach hit own door, at which he kn is a and
commenced singing. The constable ordered him' a 'pe-
remptory manner, to "hold that noise." The pr i,c c i made
some reply, which did not reach her, upon which the police-
man instantly seized him by the collar forced him down
the steps, and commenced dragging him violently along the
street. After proceeding a short distance, a struggle took
place between them, in which they both fell, and the police-
man, who was uppermost, held prisoner down by the throat,
and repeatedly dashed his head against the stones. Many
permeate were attracted by the uproar, and loudly expressed
their indignation at the conduct of the constable, but he still
retained his hold of the prisoner until the arrival of the pri-
vate watchman, when the prisoner was forcibly removed.
Two other women corroborated the evidence of the last wit-
new in every particular, and described the conduct of the
policeman as having exhibited a degree of wanton and un-
warrantable violence throughout.—Mr. Arnold said the
charge against defendant had not been sustained, and he was
discharged.
