NOTICES OF MEETINGS .
— : o : — William Preston Lodge of Instruction , No . 766 — Held at the Feathers' Tavern , Upper George-street , W ., on 10 th inst . Bros . G . J . B . Tribbel P . M . 1287 ( in the chair ) , G . W . West P . M . 1287 S . W ., A . Braun P . M . P . Z . 766 J . W . In the absence of the usual Officers Bro . H . Moore was appointed Secretary pro tern . The Lodge was opened in due form , and the W . M ., addressing the brethren ,
and referring to the minutes of the last Lodge meeting , said it was with extreme regret he had to inform them , and more especially those who were not ( from various causes ) present on the last meeting night , that it had been proposed and carried by a majority of the brethren present on that occasion , " That the Lodge should be discontinued , the furniture , working tools , jewels , & c , of the Lodge sold
by public auotion , and the proceeds of the sale added to the list of Bro . J . Haves , the Worthy Preceptor , who was fulfilling the office of Steward this year ; also that the Lodge fnnda in the hands of the Treasurer be paid over to Bro . W . Webster , who was stated to be in reduced oiroumstances , and greatly in need of assistance . " The W . M . also said , he had applied for the books of the Lodge , but was unable
to get them . Under the circumstances , he was therefore only quoting from memory as to what actually did take place , but had no doubt that what he had stated was absolutely correct . He should not express any opinion as to the coarse adopted , but leave the matter in the hands of the brethren present . Bro . G . W . West , in proposing that the minntes of last Lodge meeting be not confirmed ,
said that in doing so he was merely entering his protest against the manner in whioh the proceedings of that meeting were oarried out . He was informed that the Lodge furniture was already in the hands of the auctioneer , and would be sold next day . He certainly must protest against such a proceeding;—he might say indecent haste had been displayed in this matter , without the bulk of tbe members of
the Lodge having had warning as to the steps that were evidently in contemplation before the meeting was called . He considered it totally against the best interests of the Craft , both as regards Mother Lodges and Lodges of Instruction , that such undue haste and precipitancy should be displayed ; it was applying the cloture with a vengeance , and he believed it to be perfectly illegal
and unconstitutional that the resolution of some ten or twelve of the brethren present on the last occasion shonld be acted on without being confirmed by a subsequent meeting of the body of the Lodge . Under these circumstances , be should move that tbe minntes of the last Lodge meeting be not confirmed . Bro . Braun , in second , ing the proposition , said he quite agreed with tbe remarks of the S . W .
in respect to this matter . He never , in all his experience , knew of a case in whioh a Lodge of Instruction had been closed , in con . seqnence of the resignation of the Secretary , in such an off-hand and peremptory manner . He protested against it , as being totally unconstitutional , and holding these opinions on the subject , he felt it is duty to second the proposition of the S . W . Bro . Moore
in supporting the motion , said : He was surprised when he heard that the William Preston Lodge of Instruction was closed , without the members having received any notice . However , suoh action was intended when tbe meeting was called last Friday . He had received a notice from the Secretary , but he was creditably informed that
many of the brethren had not had notice . That was doubtless no fault of the Secretary , if he bad sent notices to all whose addresses he knew . What he ( Bro . Moore ) complained of was , that the notice contained no intimation whatever that it was contemplated to close the Lodge entirely . The notice merely said :
Dear Sir and Bro . —At the next meeting of the above Lodge , on Friday , February 3 rd , the following business will be brought forward . Report of Audit Committee , election of Officers , and other importaut business connectad with the Lodge . And I request the favour of your presence in the same , as it may affect the fortune of the L ° dge . lam , & c .
rt . ° ' ^ oore having read the notice as above , contended that " had tho notice stated the action that was contemplated on the next meeting night , and more time been given t , con 8 ''' eration > no donbt a larger number of the members 0 t " Lodge would have been present , and an altogether different conclusion
arrived at . There was not on 9 word said in the notice put hreakiDg up the Lodge , and it certainly was a matter of snr-P *! [* ° him that it could be done in the hp . sty manner in which it aa been . He must say he desired to express bis gratitnde to the members of the William Preston Lodge for the instruction , the he . \ T' kindness with whioh he had always been received , and « w might say what he knew of Freemasonry waa principally acquired

amongst them . At the same time , he must oppose their action in the present instance . If it is legal and constitutional , it is high time the Constitutions were amended . He had studied the bye-laws , but could see no law which gave the Officers or brethren of the Lodge authority to act as they had done . On the contrary , the fourth bye-law distinctly stated that the minutes of the Lodge should be presented by the
Secretary for confirmation on the following meeting night . Had that course been adopted , there would have been an end to the matter . But if the course taken by the meeting last Friday is proper and coosti . tutional , what , he should like to ask , is to prevent , say any dozen members of a Lodge of Instruction , or even a mother Lodge , agreeing to call a meeting , and without fully stating the object of such meet .
nig , " resolve to break up the Lodge , and dispose of the funds as they thought proper . " He had no personal objection to the dosing of the Lodge ; it was only to the manner in whioh it had been done . No doubt the Lodge had not been in a satisfactory state for some time past . On some occasions the Officers were present , and the brethren conspicuous by their absence ; on others , the brethren were
present , and the Officers failed to put in an appearance ; altogether he had no objeotion to the cloture in reference to the Lodge , but only to the manner in whioh it had been applied . After some fnrther remarks by the W . M ., the motion was carried nem com . The Lodge was then oloaed in due form , and adjourned to Friday evening , the 17 th instant , at the hour of eight o ' clock , as usual . We are requested to state that the Lodge furniture of the William
Preston Lodge of Instruction , No . 766 , was sold by public auction on Saturday last . It was bought by Bro . William Dunham , Seymour Arms , Seymour . place , Bryanston-square , W . At an emergenoy meeting held on the 13 th instant of the members of the William Preston Lodge of Instruction , it was unanimously resolved that the meetings of the Lodge be held at the Seymour Arms , Seymonr . plaoe , Bryanston-square , W ., for the futnre , at the usual hour of eight o ' clock p . m ., on Fridays .
