MANSION-HOUSE.-(THIS DAY.)

The Secretary of the Cabinet-makers' Slciety attended
before Mr. Alderman WILSON, who sat for the LORD
MAYOR, to answer the charge of the widow of a late
member of the society, named Gray. It appeared from the
statement of the complainant that the society were in-
debted to Gray at the time of his death between 201. and
30/., which, on the widow demanding, they refused to
pay, giving her only 5/. towards defraying the expenses of
her husband's funeral.

The Secretary stated that the society were anxious to du
all they could for Mrs. Gray, but her husband, shortly be-
fore his death, had executed a paper by which he left his
two sons, by a former wife, the whole of the money due
from the society to him ; unless, therefore, the Alderman
was of opinion the testamentary paper was good for no-
thing, the society would not be justified in paying the
money to the widow.

Both Mr. Alderman WILSON and Mr. Alderman COPE.
LAND were clearly of opinion they had no right to inter-
fere oa behalf of the widow, though her case was a❑ ex-
tremely hard one.
