LAW INTELLIGENCE.--(THIS DAY,)

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Kerr.)
IMPORTANT CASE UNDER THE FRIENDLY SOCIETIES' ACT
-JUDGMENT-MATTHEWS V. CHAMBERLAIN.
In this case, his Honour, observing that Mr. Beard and
Mr. Buchanan were in their seats, said he had intended to
have given judgment the latter end of the week, but finding
he should not be here after Wednesday, he might as well
deliver judgment at once. Upon considering the rule under
which this action had been brought, his Honour found that
the whole point of the case turned upon the words " Upon
any free member expressing a desire to quit England, the
committee shall have the power," &c. Now, upon looking
over the rules his Honour found that the object of the
society was to establish a fund for infirm members and for
the purposes of superannuation, and in cases where free
members had no work a certain sum was raised by contri-
butions from the members, but the spirit running through
the rules was relief to infirm members. Now, there could
be no doubt that upon the wording of the rule under which
this action was brought, the granting of a certain sum
upon any member expressing a desire to quit England was
not compulsory. There was a power vested in the com-
mittee, who could exercise a discretion. Under these cir-
cumstances there was no dispute, consequently nothing to
refer, and defendant must have a verdict.
Mr. Beard—As this is a question on which the society
are anxious to have your honour's opinion upon the rule,
I trust there will be no costs.
Mr. Buchanan—l must ask for them.
His Honour—Oh, in that case costs must be awarded.
HARLOCK AND OTHERS (TRUSTEES) V. 000DCHILD (TREA-
SURER).-THE UNITED TRADE BENEFIT SOCIETY OF

LITHOGRAPHIC PRINTERS.
This was an action to recover £lO Bs. 5d., money alleged
o be due from the treasurer to the society.
Mr. Beard. appeared for the plaintiffs, Mr. Lewis for
defendant, and Mr. Buchanan for a witness.
Mr. Beard opened the case, and was about to call his
witnesses when
Mr. Lewis said he must have formal proof of the election
of trustees.
Mr. BeaPd put in a copy of the certificate lodged with
Mr. Tidd Pratt. This copy being signed by the registrar,
his Honour ruled that it was admissible.
Some further argument ensued, and Mr. Lewis sug-
gested that the case should be refused.
His Honour thought that a ♦ery proper course, and
added, " They are called friendly societies, but the officers
are the most unfriendly persons I ever met with."
Mr. Beard and Mr. Buchanan offered no objection to the
suggestion upon the part of their clients, and the case was
refused.
Mr. Lewis observing that his client did not owe a penny
to the society.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAL)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

GENTLEMEN AND THE POLICE.—Mr. Wolstan Dixie,
Conservative Club, St. James's. street, gentleman, and Mr.
Frederick Jardine, 2, Stafford. street, Bond-street, gentle-
man, were charged, the former with being drunk and creat-
ing a disturbance, and the latter with attempting to rescue
the former from the custody of the police.
Reeves, 44 C, said that this morning about one he was
on duty in Albemarle-street, when he heard loud shouting,
and on going to the spot found the two defendants with
two prostitutes shouting and creating a great disturbance.
He requested them to go away, and the females were about
to do so when Dixie said, '• Oh, don't mind him, he walks
the streets for 18s. a week." The females then walked
away, and Dixie pulled out his watch, and putting it to his
eye like an eye. glass, said, " You are a fine fellow to work
for 18s. a week;" and the other defendant said, " You had
better look after the thieves—there's a burglary up the
street." Finding they would not go away he took Dixie
into custody, and Jardine attempting to rescue him he took
him also into custody. Dixie was very drunk, and pushed
him about.

Dixie denied he was drunk; and Sergeant Jeater, acting
inspector, not only stated that ho was very drunk, but
made use of obscene language.

Mr. Beadon said he should have thought that he (Dixie)
would have had more sense than have called the inspector
to prove not only that he was drunk, but made use of ob-
scene language. He should discharge Jardine, and fine
Dixie 20s.
