Board Of Benevolence.

BOARD OF BENEVOLENCE .

BROTHERS James Henry Matthews , Henry Garro . d and H . A . Tobias P . G . StB . presided on Wednesday evening at the monthly meeting of the Board of Benevolence , and the Quarterly meeting or the Board of Masters , vyhen the agenda paper for Grand Lodge of next Wednesday week was laid before the Brethren .

There were twenty-two cases before the Board of Benevolence , and of these four were deferred and one Was withdrawn . The remainder were relieved with £ 420 . One case was recommended to Grand Lodge for £ 7 $ , and one

for £ 50 . The Grand Master was asked to approve of £ /\ being given in two cases , and £ 30 in one case . Seven sums of ^ , 20 each , four of £ 10 each , and one of £$ were also voted .

An emergency meeting of the Angel Lodge , No . 51 , will be held on i uesday next , at the Cups Hotel , Colchester , when Bro . A . H . W . r ' ynmore will be raised to the third degree . # * * Twenty-three years in the Office of Tyler is a record

any Brother may be proud oi , and it must oe an additional satisfaction to such a Brother to know that on relinquishing the appointment after so long a period of service the members of a Lodge take tangioie means of showing their

appreciation . Such was the experience of Bro . Malcolm , who recently gave up the Office oi Tyler to the Downshire Lodge , No . 594 , Liverpool , after holding it tor the period we have named . The occasion of Bro . Malcolm ' s retirement

was taken advantage of b y the members of the Lodge , who presented him with a purse of gold , subscribed by the brethren as a mark or the high esteem in which he is regarded . Long may he live to enjoy well earned rest .

* * Quite unexpectedly , the Worshi pful Company of Joiners has regained possession or its valuable corporate seal , which had been missing for nearly a century . Iriow or when this , precious symbol was lost no one knows . Not long ago the

Framework Knitters' Company had restored to them their ancient charter , given under the hand of Charles : II , in a rather mysterious manner . The seal of the Joiners' Company dates back to the year 1571 . The curious feature is that it was formerly kept in a chest having three locks and

three keys , and how it ever went astray no living man knows . It was , however , recently restored to the guild by Bro . Alderman Sir Joseph C . Dimsdale , who , in casuall y examining a collection -of old seals acquired b y his father , found the

missing property . The long-lost article has since been presented to the guild by Sir Joseph , who , in acknowledgment of the discovery and the gift , has received an emblazoned vote of thanks , bearing at the foot the impress of the § eal , this being the first use to be made of the restore d property ,
