APPENDIX OF CASES. 193 Aii information was preferred by the appellant (as parent and next friend of Samuel Burton, a member of the Stoke Bruern Friendly Society), against the respondent, as secre tary of the society, for that Samuel Burton, a member of the society, was then insane, and an inmate of the North ampton General Lunatic Asylum, and, as such, sick, and entitled to relief from the society, which relief has been refused to him. At the hearing, on the 2nd of July, 1871, a copy of the rules was put in, of which the following axe material:— On the first page was the preamble ; “ Whereas it is a laudable custom in Great Britain, for divers artists and other [well] disposed persons to meet and form themselves into societies for the relief of such members as by illness or accident shall not be able to work at their usual employment; it is therefore agreed by us, rrho have entered our names in a book and subscribed, as follows:— “ Rule 11. That if any member remove from his present place of abode to any part of England, he shall be allowed two months to send his contribution money in, or forfeit Is. 6d., hut if he neglect to send it in three months he shall be excluded. And if the person absent shall duly send ms contribution, and be there taken sick and unable to w ork at his trade, he shall send a certificate signed by the minister, churchwarden, and doctor of the parish where he resides, certifying how long he hath been ill, and what his disorder is. But if such member’s illness shall continue mr more than a month, he shall send a certificate every month as above, and on the receipt of such certificate he shall receive his money the same as if he were present. “Rule 13. That no member shall be entitled to any benefit from this society until one year has expired from he day of his entrance, and all his contributions, &c., to -.‘at time be cleared off; he shall then receive 8.s. per week < uring any sickness or accident that may befall him, unless ? . n °ting or drunkenness (the venereal' disease excepted), _, UC l shall be carried to him by the stewards weekly; 1° are required to visit and inquire after the state of the ■ iclv, tor which they shall receive 3d. per mile from the. jox for their trouble; and accordingly make their report Is societ y> m case °f failure, to forfeit for each offence „ * Rule 32. That if any member shal 1 , by quarrelling,, (gating, wrestling, or any other unlawful cr needless exer- c , lse mil into either sickness, lameness, or blin ’ness, &c., he ■ s mil not be allowed the benefit of this society.” K
