MAIM,* e. OELUI =MALL —TKO 11/ZIEDLY IOCIITTIMIC ACT.
This was au action to mover 171.
Yr. Beard, for the plaintiff, said his client was • fro
member, and defendant trustee of the Journeymen Mill-
wrights? Trode and Friendly Society. By one of the rules
may free somber desiring to quit England was to receive
10/., and 11. each year up to the number of year he bad
been a free member, then ceasing to be any longer one of
the society. Plaintiff bad expressed a desire and intention
to quit England, and had applied for the 10/. The com-
mittee refused to advance it, and then plaintiff, in accord-
ance with a section of the rule, demanded that the
dispute should be referred. This was declined, and hence
the action.

11r.Le;rd put in the rules, and Mr. Buchanan, for the
defeodant, referred his Honour to the wording of the rule,
as follows : "Any free member expressing • desire to quit
England, the committee shall have the power to award, &a."
Now the committee were in this case exercising a wise dis-
cretion, for it bad been ascertained that free members had
a desire to leave this country, had received the
Wel:rthen bad apparently expressed a desire to remain
where they were, for they had been seen in this country
ever since. The words " shall have" certainly would imply
that the committee might exercise a discretion.
Mr. Beard contended that the words quoted meant
" must."
His Honour—There are several instances in which the
weed " may" his been decided to mean shall or must.
Mr. Beard said his client was prepared to swear that he
was going abroad.
Mr. Buchanan—lf your Honour decides that we must
pay, all the members may express • desire to quit England
seat week, and then go walking about with the IW.
Mr. Beard—You must be bound by the rules.
His Honour—l don't know who draws up the rules for
Friendly Societies, but they beat the acts of parliament
hollow. (A laugh.) I have three things before me ; first,
I may find that the committee hive the power to refuse ;
second, that they must submit the matter to arbitration ;
and third, that the defendant met pay. I will consider the
matter.

MARKETS.
TALLOW.

(From the Circular of 11641/5. Culverwell, Brooks, and Co.,
dated Friday evening.)
The tallow market has been without any new feature
daring the week to report ma far as relates to Y.C. on the
spot, the quotation of 525. for fine tallow having been Un-
altered since last Friday. For forward delivery, however,
the tendency bas been to lower prices, and we have to note
a decline of 6d. per cwt. as well for October to December as
for January to March. But while we have to report this
inaction, we should observe that it in no way indicates a
lessened consumption ; for we should state that the delive-
ries continuo in excess of those for the earns period of last
year, and have doubtless been lately augmented by our•
chases made on the part of consumers, for forward delivery
—purchases that necessarily tend to restrict the present de-
mand. Adrian received yesterday per telegraph
from St. Petersburg state that 86,000ceske had been shipped
off, and that 40,600 casks were then on the wharf ready for
shipment ; nevertheless, our market has been firmer to-day—
more so than at any period of the week—particularly for
forward delivery, and the following are present prices, Yrs :
52i. for fine Y.C. on the spot ; 51s. 9d. "buyers" for deli-
very this month ; 525. " buyers" for October to December,
and 52e. 9d. per cwt. for January to March. The imports
since Monday up to lest evening have been 3,162 casks.
The deliveries have been 1,659 casks, and the present stock
of all kinds is 41,056 casks, being an increase of 1,596 casks
when compared with the quantity on hand this day week.
Town melted has been held with more firmness during the
week, and sales are reported at 52a. bd. net, being 9d. above
" the Letter Price." The period is approaching when the
demand will necewerily increase, and should the preload
scarcity continue—of which there is every prospect for
some time at leest—even a slight falling off in the produc-
tion throughout the country will doubtless tend materially
to increase the demand for the foreign article. To-day the
quotation of feu. 3d., or may 51s. 9d. per cwt. net, has been
unaltered.

The public des yesterday resulted es follows :—North
American—The 7 hogsheads offered brought 51s. 6d. for
middling and good, and 495. per cwt. for rather dark and
dark, being full comparative prices. Cocoa Nut Oil—This
market is unaltered. There was not any Cochin offered.
101 casks Ceylon were held firmly, and about 50 casks fine
quality sold at 475. per cwt. Palm oil of fine quality was
held for late rates, which buyers were not disposed tow.%
and teat portion was all bought in. Middling to fair
mold at 425. 6d. to 43e. 6d.. down to 41e. 3d. to 425. 3d. for
more or less foul lots. ZIO casks Komar* of low quality,
having elicited no offer, were all pined. Palm Nut Oil
—2l casks middling to fair quality being held for 395. per
cwt. were all bought in. Lard-11 casks Gibraltar, wet and
of low quality, were reported sold after the male at 38s. 6d.
par cwt. Japan Was-01 150 came very fine, in blocks,
110 cams were sold at and after the sale, at 60s. per cwt.
