MR. WHITE. 1327
"Mr. Philp thinks it will be better to let the whole affair now
die away, rather than terminate it formally in a Court of Law, as
he says that all chance of Mr. Wilkinson [White ? ] reviving the
contest is hopeless, his friends having come to a decision to take
part with the Committee, if he should attempt it, of which, however,
there is no prospect.
"An opportunity has been afforded severely to punish Mr. White

various reasons to make a sacrifice, and that he will be satisfied
with £ 600.
"In this £ 600 he includes a repayment to him of £ 200, which,
he says, are the costs of his action in the case of White v. Bayley.
The repayment of these costs he claims on the ground of the
Agreement that all law proceedings shall cease on the condition of
each party paying their own costs.
"As this interpretation of the Agreement was not originally
contemplatd by either party, Mr. White must pay his own costs,
and the £ 200 which he has had to pay for costs must be deducted,
thus leaving the amount at £400.
"I cannot admit that Mr. White has any claims whatever upon
the Society for any portion of this amount, but as this is an
