Description | Summary, not signed, and presumably prepared for the benefit of the Society's members. It recounts that at the end of March, James Fleuriet, junior was seen 'in a very unbecoming manner thro(ugh) intoxication'. As a result, a majority of the Society's members decided to suspend his pension and James Fleuriet took out a Summons against the Stewards. The Magistrate agreed that since the Society had an Arbitration Article, Fleuriet had to have his case arbitrated first. The arbitrators ruled against him so he applied again to the Magistrate for another Summons. The Magistrate dismissed the case. James Fleuriet, realising that he was going to be expelled from the Society, asked the Committee and the Stewards to give him a sum of money that would enable him to make a living. The Committee decided to gift him £6 on condition that Fleuriet sign a document (SN/D/3/1/7) stating that he was excluded from the Society and could not get in touch with its members and officers. The agreement was signed on 12 July 1830. |
