63. All fines (except those to the District), donations, profit on goods, and extraneous receipts, from whatever source derived, shall be paid into the Management Fund, and all payments made by the Court, for whatever purpose (other than those provided for in these Laws), shall be paid out of the Management Fund. Should the rate per week determined on be insufficient to defray the expenses of any quarter, the Chief Ranger shall have power to call a special meeting of the Court, and such meeting shall have power to increase the rate of contributions to the fund, or make a levy not exceeding 2s. 6d. per member in any one quarter to make up the deficiency. And at any ordinary meeting the Court shall have power to vote a distress gift, the amount to be determined by a majority of the members present, but in no case to exceed £2 10s.

64. All members resident within three miles of their Court shall pay or caused to be paid their contributions to the Secretary or Assistant Secretary, in open Court on Court nights. Any member owing to his Court a sum greater in amount than fourteen weeks' contributions, and not reducing the same on the following Court night, shall be declared unfinancial, and the Secretary shall record a fine of 1s. against him. All fines and goods must be paid on or before the ensuing quarter night, or members owing the same to be immediately declared unfinancial and fined 1s, and thereupon neither he nor his representatives shall be entitled to claim or receive any Surgeon's attendance, sick pay, nor the funeral allowance for such member or his wife, until the expiration of four weeks after he shall have made page 25 himself financial in his Court; and if any member shall owe a sum greater in amount than twenty-six weeks' contributions to his Court, he shall be suspended from all benefits under these Laws until after the expiration of eight weeks from the date of his paying up the whole of such arrears. He shall also produce on the same night that he pays up such arrears a certificate from the Court Surgeon certifying to the member's and his wife's (if any) good health.

65 The Secretary shall not receive any moiety of contribu-tions from an unfinancial member unless the amount so paid makes the brother financial up to and including the Court night following, or a fine of 5s. shall be paid by the Secretary. Any brother being unfinancial shall not be admitted into his or any other Court until he has become financial, and the Chief Ranger admitting any brother contrary to this Law shall be fined 5s. The foregoing fines shall be enforced without mitigation. In the event of a member owing a sum greater in amount than twelve calendar months' contributions, he shall only join the Court as a new member, and in conformity with the General Laws of the Order, or may be reinstated by authority of a District meeting.

66. All fines and penalties due to the Court by any member may be recovered by law, in accordance with the Friendly Societies Act, at the instance of the Trustees of such Court; but any member may at any time withdraw from his Court by delivering to the Secretary thereof a written notice of his intention so to do, and paying all sums due by him to the date of withdrawal, when all contributions and benefits shall, as regards him or his family, cease.
