.38 & 39 Vict. Cap. 60, s. 8. 53 Provided that no society (except as aforesaid) which con tracts with any person for the assurance ofan annuity exceeding fifty pounds per annum, or of a gross sum exceeding two Eunctrea pounds, shall he registered under this Act : (2.) Cattle insurance societies.—Societies (herein called cattle insurance societies) for the insurance to any amount against loss by death of neat cattle, sheep, lambs, swine, and horses from disease or otherwise : (.3.) Benevolent societies.—Societies for any benevolent or •charitable purpose (herein called benevolent societies) (?>) : (4.) Working men’s chibs— Societies (herein called work ing men’s clubs) for purposes of social intercourse, mutual helpfulness, mental and moral improvement, and rational recreation : (5.)

Sickness or infirmity is expressly defined as “ either bodily or mental,” thus obviating the doubt as to whether lunacy could be treated as sickness (see the 8th edition of this work, pp. 5, 237; and see Appendix, Note A, post). “Old age” is defined to mean any age after fifty.
