SURREY SESSIONS.
(Before Mr. E. It. Adams.)
A care of erme importance was hoard before Mr.
r Lit )n and a lunch of maginti ales. It was au appeal by
Mr. .J. t tevcsis, 11.0 lendlad.f the Hope public-horse,
Gravel-ions, and treasurer to the Mutual Aid Loan Fund
t-oeitly at d Hope 1 can Fund, held at hie home, against
tl e t envie tit u of Mr. l'artridge on the 2nd inst.
Mr. (l l euteim appeared for the appellant, and Mr.
Llhp tot the TCRiolideut.
Ti.e all client has for some yearn kept the Mope public-
tense, Hinvel-lane, Southwark, and was appointed trea-
surer. He received the money, and paid all authorised
demands. fancily, however, the society's affairs became
so disarranged that they called meetings, and at lad
sen.mored the appellant before Mr. Partridge on the 2nd
inst., t ni'er 11. e T rit sadly SoeletiesAct, 18 and l9Vie..cap.
63, rec. 24, for withholdinglG6f. in cash, 24 promissory notes,
12 borrowers pannbooks and a caeb-book, belonging to
the society. Mr. Nagger, the secretary, swore that he had
gone through the books and found the appellant deficient
in his account', and he refused to repay it or give up the
books. Mr. Partridge ordeted him to pay the sum of 106 f.,
201. renalty, 20a erste, and the delivery of the books
trillion 14 days, or three months' imprisonment. From that
decision Mr. Stevens appealed to the court of quarter
sessions.
Mr. Liner, on behalf of the respondent, contended that
there was no appeal andel. the Trien 11y Societies Aet,
and that the Quarter Sessions Act required lt days' notice,
end the mile of the Surrey Session, was that appellants
should give eight days' notice to the court and to the re-
spondents. Such had not been given, therefore he con-
tended that the appeal could not he sustained.
After hearing Mr. Ilppenheim. the court considemd that
under the plovinons of the Police Act the appeal must
go on.
A great deal of evidence was gone into en both aides,
when the court considered that there was no case what-
ever against the appellant. It appeared to be a question
of accounts, and from the evidence of the auditors the
society could not claim more than about 3W. from Mr.
Stevens, who was entitled to retain the promissory notes,
they Icing made payahk to him. The appeal was acmird-
ingly affirmed, with costs.
ibis case finished the session.
