Registration fee

every newly-initiated member as follows—18 and under 25 years, 1s., 25 and under 30, 2s., 30 and under 35, 3s., 35 and under 40, 4s. For members having joined by clearance, Courts shall pay the same registered fees as above, except in the case of clearances being accepted from Courts in this District, when a fee of 1s. shall suffice, and the levies shall be paid by the Court accepting same. Courts may admit members by clearance page 14 from other Districts whose age does not exceed 50 years, on payment of 10s. from 40 and under 45, and 15s. from 45 and under 50 years, such sums to be paid as registration fees to the District.

29. Any Court, except the one from which a clearance was drawn, shall be at liberty to refuse or accept the same, but no Court shall receive a clearance unless it has been established three months, and no Court shall grant a clearance until it has been established twelve months. Any Court knowingly violating this Law shall be fined £5 to the District, and return the clearance to the Member, who may transfer it to some legal Court within one month.

30. Whenever the District Funeral Fund shall be under £100, the District shall have power to levy in each Court, according to their numbers, to make up the deficiency. Any Court neglecting or refusing to comply with this Law shall be suspended until the levy be paid, together with £1 1s., as fine for such neglect or refusal.
