FRIENDLY SOCIETIES.
By the 10th G,eo. 4, c. 56 (as amended by the 4th
and sth Will. 4, 5.40, and 9th and 10th Vict. c. 27),
Societies may be formed :-
1. For the lawful insuranee of money to be paid on
the death of the members to their husbands, wives, or
children, kindred or nominees, or for defraying ahe ex-
penses of the burial of the members,r their husbands,
wives, or children' : Provided that no person under the
age of six shall be allowed to become simember of such
society, and that no insurance shall be effected on the
life of any child under six years of age.
2. For the relief, maintenance, or endowment of the
members, their husbands, wives, children, kindred, or
nominees, in infancy, old age, sickness, widowhood, or
any other natural state of which the probability may be
calculated by way of average.
3. Towards making good any loss sustained by the
members by fire, flood, or shipwreck, or by any contin-
gency of which the probability may be calculated by
way of average, whereby they shall have sustained any
loss or damage of their lives or dead stock, or goods or
stock in trade, or of the tools or implements of thei
trade or calling.
4. For the frugal investment of the savings of the
members for better enabling them to purchase food,
firing, clothes, or other necessaries, or the tools or im-
plements of their trade or calling, or to provide for the
education of their children or kindred, with or without
the assistance of charitable donations ; provided always,
that the shares in any such investment society shall
not be transferable, and that the investment of each
member shall accumulate or be employed for the sole
benefit of the member investing, or the husband, wife,
children, or kindred of such member, and that no part
thereof shall be appropriated to the relief, maintenance,
or endowment of any other member or person whom-
soever and that the full amount of the balance due
according to the rules of such society to such member
shall be paid to him or her on withdrawing from the
society, and that no such last-mentioned society shall
be entitled or allowed to invest its funds, or any part
thereof, with the Commissioners for the Reduction of. the
National Debt.
5. For any other purpose which shall be certified to
be legal in England or Ireland by her Majesty's Attor-
ney or Solicitor-General, and in Scotland by the Lord
Advocate, and which shall be allowed by one of her
Majesty's principal secretaries of state as a purpose to
which the powers and facilities of the said Acts ought
to be extended ; provided that the amount of the sum or
value of the benefit to be assured to any member, or any
person claiming by or through him or her, by any so-
ciety for any purpose so certified and allowed as herein-
before mentioned, shall not exceed in the whole two
hundred pounds ; and that this limitation shall be in-
serted in the rules of every society established for any
purpose so certified and allowed ; and that no such last-
mend( ned society shall be entitled or allowed to invest
its funds or any part thereof with the Commissioners for
the Reduction of the National Debt.—(9th and 10th Vic.
c. 27, s. 1.)
When a society is formed, under the provisions of the
said Acts, for any purpose in addition to that of provid-
ing relief, maintenance, or endowment, in case of infancy;
old age, sickness, widowhood, or other natural state as
aforesaid, the contributions or payments for every such
other purpose shall be kept separate and distinct, or the
charges defrayed by extra subscriptions of the members,
at the time such contingencies take place.—t 9 and 10
Vict. c, 27, s. 3.)
The rules of every friendly society established after
the third day of July, 1846, shall provide that a book or
books be kept, in which all moneys received or paid on
account of any particular fund or benefit for which the
rules of the society provide shall be entered in a separate
account, distinct from the moneys received and paid on
account of any other benefit or provision.—(9 &10 Vic.
c. 2',', s. 4.)
The returns of the rate of sickness and mortality re-
quired by law to be sent by every friendly society at in-
tervals of five years, to the barrister or advocate by
whom the rules of the society may have been certified,
shall be henceforth sent to the registrar of friendly so-
cieties in England, Scotland, and Ireland respectively,
according to such form as shall be prepared for that pur-
pose by the said several registrars, under the-direction of
one of her Majesty's principal Secretaries of State •, and
with every such return shall be sent a report' of the
assets and liabilities of such society ; and this provision
shall be inserted in the rules of every society which shall
be established after the 3d day of July, 1846.—(9 and 10
Vict., c. 27, s. 5.)
. .
The treasurers, trustees, stewards, or other principal
officer of every such society, who by the rules of such
society are or is bound to prepare or cause to be pre-
pared the yearly general statement of the funds and
eff..cts of such society, shall be the persons who shall be
respectively bound to make or cause to be made, and
send to the Registrar of Friendly Societies, the said re-
turns of the rate of sickness and mortality, and the said
report of the assets and liabilities of such society ; and
every such person who shall refuse or wilfully neglect
to make or cause to be made or to send the said returns
of sickness or mortality, or the said report of the assets
and liabilities of such society, at the time and in the
manner prescribed by the said Acts, or this Act, shall
be liable to a penalty not exceeding the sum of five
pounds, to be recovered, with costs, before any justice of
the peace having jurisdiction where such society shall
have its place of meeting, and on non-payment thereof
the same, with the reasonable costs of conviction, shall
be levied by distress and sale of the goods and chattels
of the offender or offenders by warrant under the hand
and 3:1t1 of such justices.—(9 and 10 Vict. c. 27, 3. 6.)
After the third day of July, 1846, the registrar of
friendly societies in England, Scotland, or Ireland shall
not certify the rules of any friendly society established
after that day for the purpose of securing any benefit
depending on the laws of sickness or mortality, unless
such society shall adopt a table which shall have been
certified to be a table which may be safely and fairly
adopted for such purpose under the hand of the actuary
to the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National
Debt, or of some person who shall have been for at least
five years an actuary to some life assurance company in
London, Edinburgh, or Dublin ; and the name of the
actuary by whom any such table shall have been certified
shall be set forth in the rules, and printed at the loot of
all copies of such tables printed for the use of the
society.—(9 and 10 Vict. c. 27, s. 13.)
The fee payable to the registrar for his certificate is
ono guinea, but he is not entitled to a fee in respect of
any alteration or amendment of any rules, upon which
one fee has been already paid within the period of three
years, nor for any certificate to rules, &c., which are
copies of any that have been certified by him an ddu I
enrolled.—(4 and 5 Will. IV., c. 40, s. 4,5.) y
Two copies of the rules, alterations or amendments,
written on paper or parchment, signed by three mem-
bers and the clerk or secretary (accompanied in the
case of an alteration or amendment of rules with an
affidavit of the clerk or secretary, or one of the
officers of the said society, that the provisions
of the Act underwhicihth)

the fee of one guinea, by a post-office order) to the
Registrar, for the purpose of ascertaining whether the
said rules, or alteration or amendnient thereof,
are calculated to carry into effect the intention
of the parties framing such rules, &c., and are in con-
formity to law, and the provisions of the statutes in
force relating to friendly societies, and the registrar is
to give a certificate on each of the said copies, that the
same are in conformity to law, and to the provisions of
the statutes in force relating to friendly societies, or to
point out in what part or parts the said rules are repug-
nant thereto. The registrar is to return one of the
copies to the society and to keep the other, and the
rules may be legally acted upon from the time when
the same are certified by the registrar.—(4 and 5 Will.
c. 40, s. 4., and 9 and 10 Vic., c. 27, s. 12).
For the important provisions contained in the Friendly
Society Acts, reference must be made to the 10 Geo. IV,,
c. 56; 4 and 5 Will. IV., c. 40; 3 and 4 Vic., 0- 73; and
9 and 10 Vic., c. 27. i

Cross-examined—He had recently been engaged in con-
tacts, and had not laid down any railways in the present
year. He had contracted to keep the works in repair on the
Glasgow and Greenock line, and was now engaged in making
a pier in Rosenegth: The repairs of the permanent way on
the Greenock line last year was 150/. a mile ; the year before
it was 2001. He was aware that the half-yearly statement of
the Ayrshire line represented the repair of the permanent
way to cost 80/. a mile, but the statement did not afford the
means of testing the accuracy of these items.
A pause here took place from the Committee waiting for
Mr. Bidder, civil engineer, to be examined, daring which,
Mr. COCKBURN wished to know whether the Committee
had yet decided upon going into the question of compe-
tition ?

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, July 25.
(Before Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN.)
IN RE GILES.

Mr. BROUGHTON said that nothing whatever could
justify the atrocity of the offence which had been so
clearly established against her, and he should order her
to be committed on the charge of attempting to poison
her husband, but she would be brought up next week for
the completion of evidence.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
John Miller, a smart, well- dressed youth, was charged with
picking the pocket of Wm. Johnson, Esq., barrister-at-law,
residing at the York Hotel, Blackfriars-bridge, of a hand-
kerchief, under the following circumstances:—
Between 7 and 8 o'clock on Friday, as the prosecutor
was passing along Holborn, near to St. Giles's Church, the
prisoner lifted up his pocket and took out his handkerchief,
which he secreted about his person. The prosecutor was un-
aware of having been robbed, but a gentleman who had
witnessed the transaction having informed him of his loss,
the prisoner was seized on the spot, and the stolen property
found in his possession.
Mr. HARDWICS (to the prisoner)—Do you wish to say
anything in your defence? Prisoner—l have nothing
to say.
Mr. Johnson said, that as he had a great pressure of pro-
fessional business coming on at Winchester, Hampshire, he
should wish that the prisoner might be summarily dealt
with. He believed the prisoner was not known to the police.
Wilks, the gaoler, said lie had been committed from this
Court, and convicted of felony at the Old Bailey.
Mr. HARDWICK said, as the case was so clear, and with
the fact of the former conviction, he must send him for trial,
and no doubt he would be sent out of the country.
FORTUNATE PRESERVA2/ON OF A LARGE SUM OF MONEY.
—A person, who gave the name of Francis Garland, of gen-
tlemanly appearance, not wholly recovered from a heavy de-
bauch, was charged with being drunk and incapable of
taking care of himself. •

Mr. Baldmin, a landed proprietor between Maidstone and
Ashford, and whose property is chiefly near the proposed line,
expoessed himself in favour of the line, and stated that
it would be very convenient for all those who had to attend
the assizes and sessions in the county towns. It would also
be very convenient for the transmission of hop-poles and bark,
there being a wood, chiefly coppice, three miles in length,
near the line.

INTEREST ON MORTGAGE DEBTS:—In this case the bank•
rupt had carried on business as a lodging-house-keeper, at
Worthing, Sussex. An application was made for the Learned
Commissioner's opinion as to the interest payable on mort-
gage debts. It appeared that the money had been taken with
interest, which had not been paid for years, and in making
up the account a rest was made each year and interest charged
thereon.

Mr. Powell, a landowner and farmer near Maidstone, tes-
tified to the general feeling of the district, and stated
what it now cost the inhabitants to bring coals or
manure from Maidstone. There would also be an advantage
in the carriage of lime, a trade which had been lost by the di-
version of the Folkestone line. He also spoke to the advan-
tage to the proprietors of the flour mills and paper mills, and
in his opinion if this line were to be sanctioned, the popula-
tion of the district would increase, and other mills would be
required. The town of Ashford was already very much in-
creased by the passing of the South-Eastern line.
Mr. Mellor cross-examined on the position of the station
at Hollingbourn and the number of mills on the line, and
stated that the cultivation of hops and fruit would be in-
creased by the facility which it would provide.
Colonel Millington, commandant of the military depot at
Maidstone, where there are at present depots of five regi-
ments, besides the riding-school, where there were always
detachments from every cavalry regi men t.The number of troops
at present there is about six hundred. Large numbers of men
were enlisted in London and sent down there. He had
marched the troops which were drafted far foreign service to
Headcorn, a distance of eight miles, and there put them on
the railway in preference to going the roundabout route of
the present line. In every way the proposed branch would
be a benefit, but he believed the barracks and other public
buildings were nearer to the opposing atmospheric line.
Mr. Wylde, a solicitor, and for fourteen years deputy
clerk of the peace, testified to the great inconvenience of
getting to Maidstone from the east part of Kent. So great
had been the change in the feeling of the inhabitants
of that place, that instead of being opposed to it,
they would have made the line themselves, if the
South Eastern Company had not included it in
their group, and so • general is the consent
of the landowners, that the line might almost be made with-
out an Act of Parliament. The expense of conveying pri-
soners to the county gaol was, in 1842, 2,5461., and en an
average of seven years it was 2,8921., which by the construc-
tion of the railway there would be a saving of at least 1,0001.
a year. The witness also spoke generally as to the conve-
nience to the immediate district, and stated that so great is
the inconvenience at present, that goods between Maidstone
and Ashford are now sent by the road Instead of the railway.
Mr. George Ward Norman and several other witnesses
were called, who gave similar testimony, after which their
Lordships adjourned till Monday.

The Learned CommisswifEn held that compound interest
could not be allowed.

An application was then made for the bankrupt's certificate,
which had been suspended by Mr. Commissioner Holroyd,
until a sum of money which had been paid in preference had.
been refunded, which had been done.

The Cummins said they wished the other evidence first
to be gone into. In case that broke down, it would render
the latter unnecessary.
Mr. Bidder having arrived, was next examined—He said,
assuming the quantities of work given by Mr. Collister to be
correct, he thought his estimate fair and reasonable. He
had not been over the line, but he had gone carefully over
the plans and sections, and he thought the line proposed
could not cost less than 16,0001. a mile. The witness here
went over a number of items in the estimates which, judg-
ing from the plans and sections, he considered to be much
Cider-estimated,
The effect of the answers was a corroboration of the evi-
dence of the previous witnesses.
Cross-examined—He had not gone minutely into the
details, and therefore he could not speak accurately of the
occupation bridges. In a general estimate they could ap-
proximate pretty nearly to the cost of a line without going
actually into details. Parliament required details to test the
accuracy of the general principle. He was not aware that the
North British cost but 13,0001. a mile, or that Mr. Robert Ste-
phenson, on examining Mr. Miller's estimates of that line,
stated they were very ample.
The Committee then adjourned till Monday at eleven
o'clock.

The Learned COMMISSIONER said he could not grant it on
a mere application, but must have the minutes of the Com-
missioner. The case was ultimately adjourned to go before
Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.

Inspector Aggs, of the C division, stated that between
twelve and one o'clock on Saturday morning, the defendant
was brought to the station-house by two gentlemen, perfect
strangers to him, who had found him insensibly drunk, lying
on his back in Regent-street, surrounded by prostitutes and
bad characters. His right hand was full of sovereigns, and
about him he had thirty-nine more, and also some flank of
England notes.
The defendant said he had drank till he completely lost
his senses. _

He was fined 55., which of course he paid with alacrity.

MARYLEBONE VESTRY.

DISFRANCHISEMENT OF 1,600 ELECTORS BY NON-PAY

MENT Or TAXES.

On Saturday, at the meeting of the Marylebone
Vestry, Mr. Daniell said he was desirous of calling the
attention of the vestry to a subject of very great im-
portance, which was, that inconsequence of the rate-
paying clauses in the Reform Act, no less than 1,669
persons in the parish of Marylebone had been disfran-
chised this year, by reason of their not having paid their
taxe-,. The vestry were aware that by the Reform Act it
was necessary that all rates and taxes should be paid
before the 20th of July, due on the previous Lady clay,
to qnalify a person to vote. He had this week gone over
the various collectors' books, and had ascertained how
many had been disfranchised through the non-payment
of taxes. lie thought this a fitting opportunity for
showing to the present Government the evils of the
ratepaying clauses of the Act, with a view to their
abolition. He, would, therefore, move--" That Sir Ben-
jamin Hall,. one of the representatives for the borough
of Marylebone, be requested to move in Parliament for
a return of the number of persons throughout the king-
dom, who have been disfranchised through non-payment
of assessed taxes, by the ratepaying clauses in the
Reform Act, between the 20th of July, 1845, and the
20th of July, 1846."
After some discussion, the resolution was carried
unanimously.
