Gutunnst.t..—The Stewards of tie Benefit Club,
denominated " The Fair Prospect Society." held at
the Sato and Sugar-loaf, Fetter-lane, appeared on a
summons yesterday, before the Aldermen J. J SMITH
and ROTIIIISLI., to show cease why they refused to

declared upon the box in doe form :
The Stewards said, the Society were well convinced
of the justice of Adams's claim; they knew ha was
almost conatantly afflicted with the rheumatic gnat,
and did not oppose him on any suspicion of impo-
sition ; but they conceived he was acting unfairly by
the Society. He had been upon the box, en and off,

of their laws, when a member remained open the box

' was allowed a pension of five shillings weekly, with

however, to avoid being superannuates!, Adams.
though still afflicted, had, within the fourteen months,
declared off the box I limes for a few days,
Bud then declared on again ; he had been off once
for four day., twice for a week.and the lest time for

Society had thought it right to have him examined by

sew in she Borough, was summoned before Sir
Joins Eseca. In answer the complaint of a young
man named Christopher Rmuard, which originated
out of the followinz circematioees :
About a week or ten days a 1.., the Complainant
who was then about to be married, called at the De.
feridant's shop to purchase a bed. He saw the De.
fondant himself, to wham be imparted his wants, and
requested to be shown a good Q dk bed ; but he said
he had none of that quality that he could recommend
and advised bins to have a feather bed, which he said
he could sell cheap. Complainant consented, and hi
(Defendant) then showed him a bed which be said
was feathers, and demanded 31. as the price of
Complainant paid the money sod took home his bed.
but could Wain no more rest the fist night he slept
on it, than if he had laid on Kanningtnii•common
Neat morning he cut open the bed, and instead of
feathers, found it to be filled with tailors' rags, and
hard pieces of old wool.
Th. Defendant denied hosing sold the lied for fen:
there; bet if be bad, it was in the gwndoess of Ott
quality equal to any feathers. It was scarce stuff
which came from the blanket mairufactories, and hi
could not get up another bed of the Mlle kind if any
body gave his 1(11.. hat if the Complainant swore
that be sold it to him for a feather bed, Me mesa
si:lingly take it bark and return him the money.
To this fact the Complainant swore nest strongly.
and the upholsterer then agreed to receive the bed,
which manner the case was disposed of.
