MANCHESTER UNITY OF ODD FELLOWS.

at 10.

The Grand Committee continued its sitting at
Brighton yesterday. The Relief Committee recommended
that a gift of 31. should be made to P.G. Allison, of Wool-
wich, 3/. to P.O. Carr, ot Stockton, and 10 guineas to the
widow and family of the late Dr. Wright, of Nottingham.
An application to subscribe to the restoration of Chichester
Cathedral sp re was not acceded to. The Estimate Com-
mittee brought up various tenders to execute orden for all
descriptions of goods, which were adopted, and it was re-
solved that in future the printing of the Magazine be ten
dered for at the annual meetings. The Battle was allowed
to change he name to the Tunbridp Wells. Various lodges
in Wrexham to form the Rusbon district ; to Southampton
to form an Andover district, and Kendal to form the Burton
in Kendal district.

The inveJii;iion Committee stated that they found satis-
factory errangensents had been mule for the conduct of the
magazine. It was suggested and resolved that the directors
enter on their minutes a formal admission of all new lodges
opened, to be produced in case of any legal proceedings
being necessary; and the directors were empowered to take
a:yr measure they might think neemeary in defending
l and protecting thou funds. The state of the Order
inTurkey was next considered, and permission given to
translate the laws, charges, Igo., into the Armenian language,
and a reprint of the laws was also ordered to be elude in
Welsh. It was decided that it was not advisable to
attempt establishing a superannuation fund. A deputa-
tion was appointed to attend the meeting of the Inter-
national Philanthropic Congress, on Thursday, and the
committee adjourned to this Jay to take the further business.

ANNUAL. MESII7FO OF ORDER OF DRUIDS' DELE-
GATEE.—This meeting, now being held in Liverpool, was re-
sumed yesterday, when the proceedings commenced with •
lengthy discussion as to the "levy" for the ensuing year,
which wee ultimately fixed at 4d. per member. The next
subject was the advisability of the treasurer attending the
A. N. D.s, and ultimately, on the motion of
Mr. Pickup, of Rossertdale, it was resolved that
the expenses of the treasurer for such • purpose could
Dot be allowed. The next bestrews related to the establish-
ment of an " Accident and Compensation Fund," to be
raised by • levy of • id. on each member. This fund is to
enable the A. N. D.s to grant a stogie donation of 201.
to members unable to follow their usual occupation,
owing to the loss of limbs, and to enable the board of ma-
nagement to afford temporary assistance in cases of grist
emergency. The matter had not been settled when our parcel
was despatched.
OLOAE OF THE liIMIONS' STRULL—Last evening
• general meeting of the Loudon Operative Masons was held
at the Crown and Cushion Tavern, Wratminster.med, for
the purpose of taking into consideration the recommendation
of the Executive Council of the Masons' General Union, as
to the terms upon which the strike now existing since March,
1851, should be brought to a termination. There was a
crowded attendance. The Chairman said the terms which
be had to submit to the meeting for closing the strike had
received the sanction of a large majority of the votes of the
members of the general union. It was recommended that
they shook' give up the 12 o'clock, and concede the 1 o'elock
time on the &lards,' in the hour shops, receiving 3s. 10d.
for the Saturday, while in those shops working on the old
system until 4 o'clock on the Saturday thew should receive
the full day's pay, that ten hours should be the maximum
day's work in all shops, and that any man required beyond
the ten hours should receive time and • half for every hour
so worked, but that all systematic overtime should be dis-
couraged as mach as possible. A long discussion ensued, at
the close of which it was carried almost unanimously that
the members of the London branch of the Masons' Union
resume work at all shops upon the above terms, with the
understanding that in any case where the charge of time
and a half was ref used fur overtime the member should
report such refusal to bin lodge, who should dad with
the case on its merits, and if they decided that the demand
should be insisted upon, say men discharged or leaving his
employ on account of suck refusal should receive support
from the funds of the society.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—JuNz 10.
Sitting in illanoo.---iSelom Lord Chief Justine Cookbarn,
and Justices Wis!Amu, Orompton, and Blackburn.)
IMMIX DUOS, lIIIPPLIANT7THZ 14CM, EssPONDMIT—

PETITION OP HTGiI%

This was a petition of right, under which tho suppliant
prayed that the sum of 70,030/. should be returned to him,
which be alleged had been charged in excess by the collec-
tors of spirit duties from the grocers of Dublin.
The suppliant appeared in person ; the Attorney-General,
Mr. Lock, Q.C., and Mr. Iluttoo, represented the Crown.
The suppliant was • groper in Dublin, sad had a spirit
Bosom whereby be could sell a attain quantity of spirits to
customers, the spirits to be drunk on the premises, and the
question involved was whether he wee liable to the
higher rate of excise duty, which wee decided in favour
of the collector by • verdict of the jury in an action
brought by the suppliant to recover the excess. The sup-
pliant then proferrM a petition of right, when the Attorney.
General issued his flat ; and it now came before this court,
who ex an opinion that they could not go into the
material question whether 70,0001. had been charged in
excess on all the grocers of Dublin holding • license similar
to that of the suppliant, but whether Ille. 61id. had been
charged in excess on him personally. It was proposed on
behalf of the crown that the cam should be taken into the
Court of Error in England, and this proposal was acceded
to, their lordships giving judgment for the suppliant,
but refraining from him expresiong my opinion on the merits.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—Juint 10.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.)
RN O. W. HALL.

TheCommissiou er gave judg oleo t in this case, which has been
several times before the court. He said : The bankrupt's
certificate was opposed by the assignees and an individual
creditor, on the ground that he bad been gguuilty of •
fraudulent preference, and had dealt in 'on bills.
It appeared he bad been bankrupt three times. Upon hi.
marriage • sum of 1,000/. was vested in trustees, who lent
the money to the bankrupt, and it was repaid b' him before
the second bankruptcy. On the 19th June, 1816, the trustees
lent him 1,0001., when he gave a bond conditioned
for payment of that amount is the event of bankruptcy or
insolvency. On the 18th April, 1861, the attorneys of the
trustees wrote a letter threatening proceedings, and on the
29th the bankrupt paid them 4201., and on the 4th of May
1101. further. The bankrupt stated in examination that he
was solvent at that time ; but if he was solvent how could
his 000 duct be aooouuted for? By the trusts of the settle-
merit he was entitled to the money as capital, and by the
bond be was sot required to repay until be became bankrupt
or insolvent. Wu it possible to believe he would give op all
the capital he had without reason ? Looking at the balance-
sheet he (the Commissioner) could come to no other conclu-
sion than that those proceedings were caused by the bank-
rupt, and he would have the benefit of them. It therefore
appeared to him that be had been guilty of fraudulent pre-
fers:so.. It further appeared that he had dealt in accommo-
dation bills, and he should adjourn the certificate sine die,
with protection.
