and carry out the noble principles of the Ancient Order and the adoption of its teachings , thereby establishing the building in strength . But , alas ! in later years a supineness became manifest in the Lodge superinduced by a want of zeal in the Holy cause , and towards" Our Holy Compact . "

Incipient decay made its appearance , and the place that once knew many of the members knew them no longer . The Diadems in the Regal Crown had been removed , and the glory departed from that Lodge that always ranked as the Lodge of Intelligence and wealth of true , faithful , and

deservingly acoepted Masons . What is now the sequel ? The Anchor is again weighed . One of the old , worthy , and experienced captains is at the helm , and with the crew who have signed Articles , there is no doubt that success will be the attendant and that the good ship will reaoh her destined haven in security and prosperity .

The bright era has again dawned on this Ancient Institution to resuscitate it to its former splendeur , to revive the proper feeling in the hearts of the many members attached to the Friendly Lodge , to rouse those whoso apathy made them strangers to the good and noble cause , to reanimate those who absented themselves from the

happy and fraternal " Conclave , and to induce them one and all to return , and prove to other Lodges that they are mindful of their obligations and will rally around tho " Noble Ship " and co-operate with the helmsman and his crew , and remain with the Craft ever after she has righted

from the perilous position in which she may have been placed and surrounded with so many shoals and rocks , which might have led to her becoming one of the past . May they all remember " Our Holy Compact" and may T . G . A . O . T . U . always bless their labour , and grant them the spirit of knowledge and understanding . —Jamaica Post .

CHANCERY DIVISION , 6 TH JUNE .

( Before Mr . Justice Kekewich ) . HOLLOWAY v . BEST . MB . Israel Davis ( instructed by Messrs . Halses , Trustram and Co ., appeared for the Plaintiffs , and Mr . Sapwell ( instructed by Messrs . Old man and Clabbarn ) for the Defendant . In this case Mr . Henry Driver-Holloway and Sir George Martin-Holloway trading

as Thos . Holloway , of 78 Now Oxford Street , London , the proprietors of the well-known Fills and Ointment known as Holloway ' s Pills and Ointment , sought an injunction to restrain Mr . James Best , a chemist and druggist , from selling pills which were not manufactured by the Plaintiffs , as Holloway ' s Pills . The proper price of the Plaintiffs '

pills is one shilling and three halfpence per box , and Messrs . Holloway were recently surprised to learn that penny boxes of their pills were being sold . They consulted the Trado Mark Society , of whioh Mr . Edmund Johnson , who is well known in the Conrts in connection with these matters , is the Managing Director , and some of the pills thus

slod in penny boxes were obtained for analysis , in order to ascertain whether the pills were really of their manufacture . After carefully analysing the pills sold , Messrs . Holloway ascertained that the pills were of entirely different composition from their own pills , which long experience has shown to have a well-recognised medical value . In

order to prevent any further deception of the public by this means , the present action was brought , Messrs . Holloway being naturally unwilling that the publio should be led to believe they were buying Holloway ' s Pills when nothing of the kind was being sold to them . Statement of claim was delivered , in whioh the case was made that

the pabho were being deceived , but no defence was pat in , and tbe Defendant consented that a perpetual injunction should issue , restraining him and his agents from selling , offering for sale , passing off , or attempting to pass off pills not of the Plaintiffs' manufacture as Holloway ' s Pills , or from applying to pills not of the Plaintiffs '

manufacture , the Plaintiffs trade mark or any words whioh are commonly nsed to denote pills of the Plaintiffs' manufacture , or any labelB or papers in connection with packing of pills so as to be calculated to deceive . The Defendant also agreed to pay a sum to the Plaintiffs as damages , and to pay all costs as between solioitor and

olient . Mr . Israel Davis , for the Plaintiffs , accordingly applied for the injunction and the order for payment of costs and damages . Mr . Sapwell consented on behalf of the Defendant to the order in the agreed form . Mr . Israel Davis said it would be in his lordship ' s recollection that his lordship had suggested some alterations in the

minutes , which were now drawn up in the form kindly suggested by his lordship , and gave the plaintiffs all costs as between solioitor and olient . Mr . Justice Kekewioh said it was unnecessary to go into all tho facts as the parties had come to an agreement , the injunction and order would go in terms of the minute 3 whioh had been agreed to between the parties .

The brethren , after the conclusion of the ceremony , marched baok to the Assembly Rooms , where Lodge was closed in due form . The offerings made during the day were large .

The Masonic Chronicle of the United States , in its March number , notices with approval Lord OUSIOW ' B " able , calm , and Buggestive " letter to the recalcitrant Lodges under the English Constitution in New Zealand , on the Grand Lodge movement , advising them to " accept the inevitable . " It says it at first hoped that advice would

have had a good effect , but the result has not borne this out , and " upon reflection we may say that we onght not to be surprised at thia perseverance in contention , as we presume the recalcitrant Lodges to be under pressure of Provincial and Deputy Grand Masters appointed for life , who in the event of centralisation of anthority , would find themselves among the common folk of the Order .
