DEATH OF MR. TIDD PRATT.

We much regret to announce the death of Mr.
John Tidd Pratt, the Registrar of Friendly Societies,
which took place on Sunday evening. The
deceased lawyer was in his 72nd year, was called to
the bar in 1824, held a post in the National
Debt Office, and was employed to certify the rules of
savings banks. He was the author of " Laws
Relating to Friendly Societies, " A. Collection of the
Public General Statutes," " The History of Sayings
Banks," " The Laws of Highways," "An Analysis
of the Property Tax Act," " Suggestions
for the Establishment of Friendly Societies,"
and similar works. Mr. Pratt's services
as Friendly Society Registrar deserve a high tribute
of praise. His exertions to expose and frustrate the
frauds which -are so frequently practised upon the
working classes by means of clubs and the like. were
untiring.
