It specified a list of securities upon which the funds might be invested ; it made provision against the incapacity or refusal to act of trustees; it authorized societies to pay small sums without the expense of adminis tration ; it substituted a summary remedy before justices for that in Chancery in the case of defaulting officers; it omitted the provision for the appointment of responsible householders as trustees, and for requiring tlicir consent to a dis solution of the society; and substituted for the certificate of experts, in cases of dissolution, the agreement of five-sixths of the members and of all those entitled to relief. It also provided that minors might be members, and that an annual audited statement of the funds should be prepared, of which each member should be entitled to a copy on payment of a sum not exceeding sixpence. 12.
