be seen from Bro . Girling s second letter , which we publish in another column , the remarks mado in our issue of 2 nd inst . have drawn towards the candidate a " host of sympathising friends . " We are only too pleased to hear it , as we
are assured that such could only be tho case m the event of the candidate being a fit and proper subject for the benefits of the Institution ho seeks—a fact we must leave in tho hands of the subscribers to the School to decide for
themselves on Monday next . Accordingly , if the boy is elected , we might feel ourselves justified in claiming a small share in that result . The other case requiring special consideration at our hands is that of A . L . Ford , a candidate for admission to
the Girls' School . And here we will give it as our opinion , formed after further inquiry into the position of the petitioners , that we believe the election of the child will be for its benefit , and an act of Masonic Charity to her parents . It may be remembered that in our issue of 18 th ult . we
specially referred to the petition presented on behalf of A . L . Ford , and in doing so we particularly stated that " our remarks were not made against the parents individually , but against a system we thought needed improvement . " We then pointed out that both this child ' s parents were living ,
and that they had two children to support—which was the only information we conld gather from the published particulars . At the same time we presumed that there were some special features which had warranted the acceptance of the petition ; and now
that we have obtained these particulars , we are satisfied , so far as this child is concerned ; but we hope the case will prove an example to others , who should , if possible , publish reasons for petitioning the Charities if they are circumstanced in any way similar to the candidate Ford . In
conclusion , we can but wish our Brother Ford success in his effort to obtain a place in the School for his daughter , and we have pleasure in placing prominently before our readers all we have been able to learn in respect of his petition .
The Candidature Of A. H. Collingwood For The Boys' School.
THE CANDIDATURE OF A . H . COLLINGWOOD FOR THE BOYS' SCHOOL .
To the Editor of the FREEMASON ' S CHRONICLE . EE ARTHUR HARVEY COLLINGWOOD . Northampton House , Seven Sisters-road , 6 th October 1880 . SIR , —My attention has heen called to an article in yonr issue of the
2 nd instant , headed " Unworthy Claimants for the Benefits of cnr Charities , " in which several remarks are made with reference to the above case , which are seriously calculated to injure the chanco of success of the above candidate at the ensuing election . Bro . Collingwood did not retire from his business of a batcher with
a large fortune , as mentioned in yonr article ; on the contrary , he was induced to join in building and starting a brewery in the north of London , and in order to meet the liabilities of the concern , he was obliged to sell his butcher ' s business . The brewery up to tho time of his death showed a loss , and was not the
flourishing concern yon imagine . At the death of Bro . Collingwood it was thought advr ' sable that the personal estate should be sworn under £ 9 C 00 , but upon going into the assets of the ! estate , and the books of the brewery , it was found that this estimate was a great deal too high , and an application has
been made to the Government authorities , and part of tho duty paid returned . Two of the children havo already come of age , and have received their share of the estate , and another child comes of age next month , and is about to marry , and she will then receive her share .
The widow , therefore , has to edncate and maintain two children upon a very small income ; in fact , it is utterly impossible for her to do so without tbe aid of her friends . Owing to the smalluess of her income , she had to leave the house she has resided in with her husband , dispose of part of her furniture , and take a small house at a very low
rental . It is a great pity that , if snch an article was contemplated , the author shonld not havo applied to thoso supporters of tho case who conld have given full information , and also that the article did not appear
in a previous issue , so that it could be answered before the day previous to the election . This case is a really deserving case ; otherwise I , for one , should never think of bringing it before the brethren . Yours , & o .

second—since the petition was presented , one child has come of age , and ono married , and have withdrawn from the widow the little they wero entitled to .

think shonld at onco bo contradicted , or it may materially injnro her chance of success . The facts aro theso : —Mr . Ford , her father , has been some years in trade as a publican at the Blue Anchor , Coleman-street , and elsewhere . He has , however , unfortunately failed , and his affairs have been in liquidation , and we know him to be quite without means , and still owing us a considerable snm of money . It , however , being necessary to keep tho above honse open , as wo are
unable to sell the lease , we have allowed him and his wife to remain in tho house and work tho trade , which is , however , very small , until we can find a customer , or make arrangements to get rid of it . This may occur at any moment , and he will then have to turn out . Under these circumstances , I think you will agree with me that it is a case which may fairly be supported by the brethren , and I trnst you will do all in your power to dissipate the bad impression the statements in the FREEMASON ' S CHRONICLE may have begotten .
