ba tha prerest action waa • working man,
sought to recover a mans of money from the above societyend, to
which he wee a cantribabir, under the following panther cir-
cumstances Alma three yews ago plaintiff joined tbe
society aa • member, and pdd • media amen of money weekly
upon • stated sods, which enabled him if laid upon • dok
Led to receive relief from the society at the rate of 20a. per
week. Plaintiff continued paying hie contribution reolsrly
and in conformity with the rules of the society, nn t 0 Jane
last, when he wee taken ill. During the first week of his
ilium he received the 20a. to which he was entitled, but upon
application being made the mond week for the certificate to
enable him to receive • continuance of the relief, them was
considerable delay in obtaining It, and when it was obtained
plaintiff wee informed that he was only entitled to fie. deb per
west. He now sought to recover for sin weeks at 20e. per
week.

—Foe. the defence It wee urged that plaintiff should have
produced his certificate earlier, and that while plaintiff was
ill new rules had been parsed, certified by Mr. Tidd Pratt,
which only entitled plaintiff to 6s. Sd. per week.
His Honour—lf that is the defence to this action I will
frankly confess that I never heard such defence urged before.
It to no defence. 801,10 benefit societies anent to think they
are dispensing charity instead of repaying moneys entrusted
to them for the benefit of the contributor. I shall only
farther exprem my opinion by giving a verdict for the
plaintiff, and costs.
Th 4 verdict was hailed by a bunt of applause, which wsa
instantly eappreased.
