LODGE HISTORIES .
THE LODGE OF PROBITY , No . 01 . ( Continued from page 84 ) . C HAPTER III . of Bro . Crossley ' s History—which we shall now consider—treats of the formation and early career of the Probity Lodge . As "we have mentioned , in our first notice of the book , the Lodge was constituted on the 12 th July 1738 , at the Ball ' s Head , Halifax , the warrant empowering the Lodge to meet on the last
Monday in each month . From the engraved lists of the period—of which fac similes are given in the book—the Lodge was originally numbered 176 , from this it gradually worked up , until , at the re-numbering of 1792 , it became
No . 61 . At the Union of the two Grand Lodges , in 1813 , this number was again altered—to 84 , since which time it has been twice changed , in 1832 to 73 , and in 1863 to No . 01 . It may here be noted , ancl , as Bro . Crossley puts it ,
it is somewhat curious , that the Lodge of Probity should succeed in 1863 to the same number—61—it enjoyed from the re-numbering iu 1792 until the Union iu 1813 . While on this subject of numbers there is another curious instance
pointed out in the History . Bro . Crossley refers to tho establishment of a second Lodge in Halifax , iu August 1760 , under tho title of the Bacchus , and this . Lodgo was numbered 448 ; it was erased in 1783 . At the present timo
there is a second Lodge in Halifax , and this bears the number 448 , tho same as was borne by its predecessor upwards of a hundred years ago . Of course these two agreements between the numbering of last century and of
the present day are nothing but coincidences , but they are just of that character on Avhich much might be written , and mauy strange fancies formulated ; they aro a living evidence that " truth is stranger than fiction . "
Unfortunately , but little is known of the early doings of Ihe Lodge , the minutes , if written , are not known to be in existence , ancl , as usual , the records of Grand Lodgo afford no assistance in the matter , not even lists of mo
rubers of private Lodges being kept between 1730 and 1770 . The Warrant under which the Lodere now works is nut the original , but was presented to tho Lodge on 24 th July 1765 , when Bro . Spencer G . S . was thanked by letter " for
his magnificent present to this Lodge of a renewed Warrant . " This Warrant is granted on the petition of John Senior and several other brethren , and empowers the said Johu Senior to convene the "brethren residimjf at
Halifax aforesaid , who have signed the said petition , and in duo form constitute them into a regular Lodge . " This Bro . Senior then is regarded tis tho Father of the Lodge , but it has beeu quite * impassible to discover who were associated
with him , or who petitioned with him for its establishment . The first written records of the Lodge are to bo found iu the Minute Book commencing in 1762 , and also the
Treasurer ' s book bearing the same date , but the continuity of tho Lodge '*} existence from its establishment until that date is made . apparent by its regular insertion in the engraved aud oily or lists of Lodges which were issued in
