Rockingham, August, 10th, 1875.
In answer to the above call the men,
bers of the association met at said time
and place, when the following facts were
shown; That H l. Wiley had not de.
manded or taken any money from the
treasurer, nor had he held any Office in
the association for six years, that said
money belonged to the Ladies Aid So
ciety of that place, and was subject to
the control of its officers; that said So
ciety was formed while Sarah A. Wiley
was president of the association, of
which O. M. Dorand was treasurer, that
said society had raised money and con-
ributed to the association according to
their discretion that said Dorand had
acted as agent for them, receiving their
money and paying it out at their order |;
that when the time expired for Mrs.
Wiley to serve the association as presi-
dent, the officers of the Aid Society
deemed it proper, and their unquestion-
able right, to hold the remainder of their
money to be donated when they saw fit
to do so Mrs. Wiley being president
Of said society called for the money /;
Mr.. Dorand gave the same to her accor-
ding to previous agreement, and she i'm
mediateiy deposited it in the hands of
their treasure
Great indignation was expressed by
the association towards Joseph B. Wes-
ton, for the publication of the above ar
ticle, and for commencing suit against
@. M. Dorand, their treasurer, for the
said money, and they expressed them
selves by passing the following resolu-
tions:
Resolved, That we deem the suit
brought in the name of the Spiritualist
Association against @. M. Dorand, as
injudicious and unnecessary; that we
have the utmost confidence in Mr.. Do
rand, as man, and as our treasurer,
and that we approve of his course in
returning the money to the Ladies Aid
Society, which they had raised, and
which had been entrusted to his keeping.
And we further resolve and direct the
officers and attorneys Of this association
to forthwith discontinue the suit they
have instituted against Mr.. Dorand, be-
lieving that no benefit can arise to either
society by its further prosecution, and
in case the officers do not forthwith dis
continue said suit, said Dorand hereby,
by the passage of this resolution, will
take notice, that the said association
discontinues said suit against him, and
the court upon the presentation of this
resolution, will enter the same upon the
records Of the suit.
Resolved, That we justify the officers
of the Ladies Aid Society, in calling for
the money entrusted to @. M. Dorand,
and that we exonerate Sarah A. Wiley
in the course she has taken in relation
to said money.
NOTICE, BY REQUEST.
