IMPORTANT JUDGMENT REGARDING
FRIENDLY SOCLETIRS.

Yesterday, the Judge of the Liverpool County
Court (Mr. Serjeant Wheeler) delivered judgment in tie
ease of Camber r. Treacy and others. His Rouen? said:
This is a isle nisi calling upon the defendant, Sohn Treat',
to show eause why as attachment sh, old not issue against
him for contempt, in tot having paid the sum of 7,4471.
14s. 61, pursuant to the order of this court dated the 10th
day May last. The rale was resisted by Mr. Hordes, on
of the defeodaot. in a very lengthened arvuesset.
His Honour gave an elaborate jodgmest, and in eoe-
olesioa said :—" It may be that whilst parliament
thought it right to place within reach of the dames
constituting these fneadly societies a (+heap acid easy
remedy, and to make that remedy final and without
appeal, it was not considered likely, or perhaps even pos-
sible, that questions involving very ous amounts
would fall under the vol

of the eouaty

Mined upon this subject, the plain terms of the
sot of parliament remam, and must determine what the
jurisdiction is, nu am I at liberty to fritter away those
terms, or to decline to exercise the power* costarred upon
me according to my eessoientious view of what their true
import is by tho mere amount in question. which after all
may be only a question of figures and not of principle, and
may involve no difficulty either of law or of foot. I must ,
therefore make the nil* for an etteolutwat absolute. Bat I
shall direct the warraot to remain in the aloe for some
reasonable time to enable the defeodant, if he should be so
advised, to apply for a prehibition, and this can be done

tweet of inch application the vacation judge may think it
right, in a matte which is both new and important, to pet
it in train for discussion before the lodges in Westminster-
, hall is the sassing term."
