Obituary
friend mid brother to quit this sublunary abodo and ascend to thoso immortal mansions whence all goodness emanates . Few and feeble are the words of testimony to his worth which around this open grave , and iu the presence of his relatives and friends , I can speak . Thoso who avo rcavest and dearest to l \ h \\ know how affectionate ho was as a son ; I can declare how true and steadfast a friend he
proved , and we all , brethren , know how f ; itthfnl a brother ho was . Ho lived respected , and ho died regretted . Ho was ono to whom tho burdened heart might pour forth its . sorrows ; to whom tho distressed might prefer their suit ; his hand was over guided by justice , and his heart expanded by benevolence . Sure I am , from his consistency of
life , that ho has laid up for himself a crown of joy and rejoicing which shall continue now that time , on earth , is with him no more . May tho Great Architect of the Universe , having morcy on his soul , grant him rest and give him peace . "Response—So moto it be . "

HUGHAN'S LIST OF LODGES , A . D . 1734
To the Editor of THE FREEMASON S CHRONICLE . DEAR SIR AXD BROTHER , —Permit mo a brief space in your columns , in order to reply to Bro . Hnghan's communication of last week . 1 . If Bro . Hughan is prepared with evidence that No . 13 in Pine ' s List , hold , in 1734 , in tho neighbourhood of Covonfc Garden , is one and tho same with the Lodgo at tho Crown , in Cripplegato , to which
a Warrant was granted in 1723 , and which , in 1748 , removed to Chatham , in Kent , then I accept his location of No . 20 . 2 . I am quite satisfied about Pine's No . 35 . But in this and the former case , I offered only suggestions , not arguments , and I was afc the pains of pointing out that thoso suggestions rested on a very unsubstantial basis .
3 . Tho Strong Man Lodgo . Let ns hope the mystery may be cleared up sooner or later . 4 . I must point ont to Bro . Hughan that my argument , as appended to his letter in your issue of the 20 th ult ., ia wholly independent of tho nolo I quoted from Oliver ' s edition of the Illustrations of Masonry , so far as tho authorship of the note is
concerned . I havo but one edition of the work , and my time has been too occupied to allow of my comparing it with any of its predecessors . I was wrong in making no allowance for the oversights of editors , and accepted tho insertion of the words " ( in 1820 ) " after " is still extant , " as indicative of the date when the note was written , and by whom . But without , perhaps , remarking ifc at tho time , Bro .
Hnghan ' s statement that " Bro . Preston himself " inserted tho note , "inthel 7 S 8 edition , " materially strengthens my argument , that ifc was old No . 3 which received a new Warrant in 1722-3 , appears in Pine ' s Liet as No . 11 , in tho 1738 as No . 10 , and is now—though , of course , shorn of all its timo immemorial privileges—in existence aa No . 18 . We agree that old No . 2 , as numbered in Pine ' s , died
between 1 / 34 and 1738 . Preston ' s note , inserted , as Bro . Hughan says , in his 1788 edition , says , that Old Timo Immemorial , No . 2 , "has been extinct above fifty years , by tho death of its members . " This then exactly corresponds with tho timo when No . 2 of Pine ' s became extinct . Exactly fifty years from 1788 bring us to 1738 , and " abovo fifty years " fairly meets the case , coinciding , as it does , with tha
death of Pine ' s , No . 2 , between 1734 and 1738 . Under these circum . stances , I do not see that I am wrong in maintaining the following position , taking as the basis of my statement Preston ' s note , Pine ' s , Rawlinson ' s , and the 1738 Lists , and Bro . Hnghan ' s latest observations . The old No . 2 of 1717 is Pine ' s No . 2 of 1734 , and died some timo between the latter year and 1738 . Preston writes in 1788 , that old No . 2
" has been extinct above fifty years , " which agrees essentially as to time with the extinction of Pine ' s No . 2 , and bears out what I have said , that no traco whatever now remains of the second in numerical order of the four old Lodges of 1717 . Old No . 3 , writes Preston , obtained a new Constitution , though it " wanted it not , " in 1722-3 , mot at the Queen ' s Head , Knaves' Acre , and is No . 10 in the 1738
List . This No . 10 agrees as to location and date of Warrant with No . 11 of Pine ' s in 1744 . Bro . Hughan accepts this as the result of tho demise , in the interim , of No . 2 . He also suggests that this No . 10 is our present No . IS . Putting all these together , I say , Old Time Immemorial No . 3 , of its own freo will , surrendered its ancient privileges in 1722-3 , obtainining a new Warrant of Constitution ,
which it wanted not , and meeting afc the Queen's Head , in Knaves ' Aero . We find this , or at least a Lodge answering in all essential particulars to this , included in Pine ' s and Rawlinson's Lists as No . 11 . Preston says , distinctly , it is the No . 10 of 1738 , and , if Bro . Hughan ' a suggestion is right , it is now our No . 18 . I recur , then , to my former statement that the old Lodges , Nos . 1 , 3 and 4 , of 1717 , will be found
m the present Nos . 2 , 4 and 18 ; No . 1 of the former being No . 2 of tho latter , No . 4 of the former No . 4 of the latter , and No . 3 of the former ( but shorn of its old privileges ) No . 18 of the latter . I highly appreciate Bro . Hnghan ' s complimentary remark in tho concluding paragraph of his letter of last week . I wish , for his sake , 1 had better materials afc hand to guide me , for then I feel I should be
in a better—position to second his laudable efforts to promote the more certain knowledge of Masonic History . In tho present fraternal argument , I have , 1 think , been able to supplement my own scanty materials iu the way of lists , Ac , by employing one or two of his statements . Fraternally yours , OUR REVIEWER .
