It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Banks, one of the
busters of the court, that in the early part of lest year the
primer was their secretary, and all the funds passed
through his hands. In November last on account of some
disagreement another secretary was appointed, and as some
difficulty Mole place in getting the books from Lim
he was aummoised before the magistrate at this
wart to recover them, and an order was made against
him. He still refused to give them up, and at last one of
the of/wers &misted in recovering them. On examining the
idchs, the new secretary and the truer; discovered that
the prisoner had rsoeived 181. from the trainee of the
London united district, to pay funeral moneys of deceased
members which he had not amounted for, also 11. 16a. 6d.
