PROVINCIAL GRAND LODGE OF SUSSEX .

and passed , and letters of apology for their inability to attend having been read from various brethren , Bro . Furner said this was only the second time the P . G . M ., Lord Pelham , had delegated to him the power of presiding at this Provincial Grand Lodge , and from the cordial re . ception he had met with on this , as on the former , occasion , he trusted the interests of the Province had not suffered in his hands . Indeed ,

MaBonry had made great progress in Sussex during the past year . There were more members . He had presided at the opening of a new Lodge at East Grinstead , and shortly a new Lodge at Brighton , to be named the St . Ceoilia Lodge , would be consecrated .

jurisdiction of Grand Lodge , England to 1638 . Ten years ago , he ( Bro . Furner ) had consecrated the Mid-Sussex Lodge , at Horsham , No . 1141 , so that in this single decade , Masonry had inoreased by within three of five hundred Lodges . Bro . Furner than expressed his gratitude to Bro . Scott for the valuable services the latter , in his capacity of Secretary , had rendered , and concluded by expressing a hope that they

would succeed in developing Freemasonry for the benefit not only of the Craft but likewise of the whole human race . The officers for the ensuing year were then appointed as follows : — Bro . Trollope P . M ., Derwent , 40 , S . G . W . „ Crawford Pocook P . M ., Clarence , 271 , J . G . W .
