Robin Hood Society

Been browsing through old newspapers and found an article in which my ancestor appears to have been in rent arrears at 2 bk of 13 Fox Street and 3 Fox Street, Bailiffs (Rabnett & Co.) were called in on behalf of the morgagees of both properties - The Robin Hood Society. I would love to know if they were the 'social housing' of the day. Does anyone have any information about them?

There seem to hav ebeen several Robin Hood Societies around the country, most just involved in events concerning Robin Hood, but in this case I would think it was the one involved in the court case below in 1901, whose purpose is described in the article

There are a few references to the Robin Hood Society for Rent arrears. Mortgages in possession of the Robin Hood Society. They employed
Radnett and Co, Estate Agents as rent collectors and bailiffs.
