WANDSWORTH.

WORKING MEN AND THIIII BOCIZTDEA.
Frokrirk Weih, secretary to No. 1, Battersea Burial
Society, held at the White Hart, was summoned by
William Gerrard, the treasurer, for withholding from him
n certain sum of money whick he had received from a col-
lector.

Mr. Condy appeared for the defendant, and on pro-
clueing the rules of the society, he staked the complainant
whether he had complied with them by entering into a
bond.
The complainant replied is the negative. He said a bond
had been mentioned but he bad not seen one.
_ _

In answer to the complaint, Mr. Coady said his client
was prepared to hand over the balance in his hands and to
have his accounts examined. A misunderstanding had
arisen as to where the accounts should be kept. The mem-
bers of the society being working men in the neighbour-
hood wished to have their funds placed in the Battersea
Savings' Bank, but the complainant deposited the money
in a bank at Chelsea. _ _

A letter was produced from one of the trustees autho-
rising the defendant to withhold all money in his posses-
sion until the treasurer had transferred the funds to the
Battersea Rank, and until he had given security for his
office. . .

Mr. Ingham was of opinion that am tho complainant had
not executed his bond it was a good reason for withholding
the money. He dismissal the summons, and ordered the
complainant to pay the defendant ss. for his costs.
A mamber of another working men's society applied to
the magistrate for his advice. lie said his stock was re-
tained for the payment of loans for which he had been
summoned, when he received the magistrate's decison in
his favour. He wanted to withdraw the stock to settle
another loan.

—Mr. Ingham wished to look at his rules.
The applicant said be had not brought them with him.
The rules were, however, certified by Hr. Tidd Pratt.
Mr. Ingham said he amid not give any advice until he
had seen the rules. In cases of disputes the rules generally
ordered them to be settled by arbitration. It was very
difficult to understand the rules of friendly societies.
Working men might reake,very good members of parlia-
ment but very bad chancellors of the exchequer.
The applicant then withdrew.

A letter from Vienna says :—" On the 12th
their Majesties the King and Queen of Greece arrived here
at a little before 3in the afternoon. The Queen is and
loon very young—almost a child—and being small is
size, this circumstance corroborates to her almost infantine
appearance. She is pretty, sad there is something very
pleasing in her intend air and manner. Betides the dif-
ferent high officers of the court and the town authorities,
the F.mperor was at the station to await the arrival of the
',nisi royal couple. When the Emperor went to the mid-
way carriage to greet the Quota, @he was still ruin
arcund her with childlike curiosity, and for some moment
entirely overlooked his Majesty.

Charity to enter a ward is which were several Garibaldisim

Among those wounded were Count Coloredo d'Udine and
M. Cairoli, brother of the colonel of that name killed at
Acquamtosa. The latter replied to his Holiness in the
boldest and strongest language. However, at the moment
in which his Holiness was going out, H. Cairoli apologised
for the emotion he bad not been able to overcome at the
recoil vtion of his brother having been killed by the Swiss
carbincers. Thie incident caused some emotion, and the
apostrophe launched at the Pope by the wounded Carl-
keidian is still a saliod "nveria,6"."
