'lsis was an action brought by the" ititiff, who has
. bean duly appointed as the Master the Cocoa Tree
ektb, in Sr. James's-street, against the defendant, Sir
Philip Musgrave, Batt. to recover from him the sum of
tcp guineas, being the amount which the Hon. Baronet
slight to have. paid as his subscription to the above-
iievied'elob Jot the year 1825.
'• Mi. Gamier shortly stated the outline of the case, and them
called the head waiter at the Cocoa Tree,
John Bush, who stated that Sir Philip Musgrave be-
cerise a member of the club in 1821. He paid his
subscriptions regularly for that and the succeeding years,
down to the end of 1824. He continued a member
during the year 1825, but had not paid his subscription
for that year.
Crmu•esamined by Mr. Scaatare.—Though Sir Philip was a
member in 1825, witness did not know that he attended the clsb in
A* year. Gentlemen, who are members of the club, have dinners
there, and also wine. It is likewise a card club t• and occasionally
these ls e good deal et play. Witness was not called on a fornser
ecidaien, when a similar action to the present was brought against
an petuleman.
The sults and regulations of the clujs were now.ppt
in did read, by one of the articles of whkh'it appeared,
Flatcars Gentleman, who yeas a sybsesibei, could w -
sliaw ,himself from the society without sticking op a
.notice in the club room, for a certain length of time,
Opt it was his intention to ivitkdraw. By another
article of the roles, the subscriber so giving .such notiCe
was bound to pay the subscriptions for the current year
when it was given; and ay the evidence it appeared,
that the defendant had not conspliid with either of these

llre
re lations. .
