LODGE HISTORIES .
CENTENARY OF ST . HILDA'S LODGE , No . 240 . ( Continued from page 197 . ) IN August 1814 tho brethren of St . Hilda ' s Lodge wero once more solicited to join in a Masonio procession , this time in Newcastle , bnt in tho minute relating to the occurrence no mention is made of tho occasion . The year 1817 seems to have been a busy and au important one , for in the months of February , March , April , May , June ,
and Jnly , the business of the Lodge was apparently confined to the consideration of now By-laws , ancl of the new mode of working tho Lodgo promulgated by the Grand Lodge of England . On the 9 th of Jnno 1817 , it is recorded that " the new Constitution Book was this night received from London . " On tho 13 th of Jnly tho new mode of working , as ordered by the Grand Lodgo of England , was introduced
and adopted . At this time the Lodge seems to havo been hold at the Golden Lion Hotel , for on 12 th August 1817 , Bro . Potts proposed that Eobert Grieves , waiter at tho Golden Lion Inn , should be made Master Mason free of expense , which was unanimously agreed to . This was no doubt in order that the refreshments of tho brethren could be properly attended to .
In this year occurred the death of Princess Charlotte , and the sympathy of the brethren of St . Hilda's is evidenced in the Mowing minute : — " Lodge of Emergency , 19 fch Nov . 1817 . Present 56 brothers . On this night tho brethren meet in commemoration of the death of the ever-to-be-lamentcd Princess Charlotte , when Bro . C . Bainbridge was proposed and unanimously appointed to the chair , who , after
addressing thebrethrcn on the great solemnity of the occasion , requested thafc they shonld proceed to the Chapel of St . Hild ' s , were the Eev . Robert Harrison delivered a most pathetic and interesting discourse on this sad , this solemn , this melancholy event . The brethren retorncd in dne form , when after tha necessary arrangements , the Worshipfnl Master drnnk to the immortal memory of the Princess Charlotte ,
which together with other sentiments highly expressive of his feelings ( on this mournful event ) closed the business of the night . Temple Smith , secretary . " The entry does moro credit to Bro . Smith ' s heart than his powers of composition . On tho 7 th of March the following unpleasant entry occurs : — " Bro . Thos . Hall called tho attention of the Lodge to the improper conduct of Bro . George Harland . " After
a ballot had been taken on the matter , the following letter was drawn np and sent to the Grand Lodge and to Prov . G . Lodge : — " St . Hilda ' s Lodge , South Shields , 10 th March 1818 . —Sir and Bro ., —Tho following charge wns preferred against Bro . G . Harland a member of onr Lodge , at a general Lodge held 9 th March 1818 : —It was regularly proposed , seconded and strongly supported , that Bro . G . H . had
invariably and iu various companies , not of Masonic assemblies , exhibited the signs of Masonry , not only in tho first degree , bnt had violated as high as the Holy Eoyal Arch , in consequence of which a ballot took place , when the before-mentioned Bro . G . H . was declared suspended until he obtained pardon from the Grand Lodge . —Dear Sir and Bro ( signed on behalf of the W . M . ) , yours fraternally , Thos . Halliday . "
On the 16 th July the same year a special meeting was held , at which " Bros . Wm . Crawford , B . Scott , George Potts and Thomas Hall were deputed to represent St . Hilda's Lodge at the Provincial meeting at Durham on the 27 th July , there to witness the installation of Bro . John George Lambton , Esq ., M . P ., as the Provincial Grand Master of this Province . " In this year the funds of the Lodge do not seem to
have been flourishing , for on tho 12 th of October it is resolved to suspend all relief " until the Funds of the Lodge aro adequate to pay the Lodge's debt . " Justice before generosity was evidently the motto of the brethren of St . Hilda ' s then . On the 13 th of March 1820 , the generosity of the Lodge was appealed to by the Master , Wardens , and Brethren of the Eoyal Kent Lodgo
of Antiquity , No . 20 , Chatham , who , in a lengthy memorial , set forth that on the morning of the 3 rd inst . a dreadful fire broke out iu tho town of Chatham , which , in addition to burning several houses belonging to members of tho Lodge , destroyed the Lodge-room and valuable regalia belonging to the brethren , " by which the Lodgo was reduced to a state of great distress , and without the means of
being restored to that state of respectability attained from the savings of nearly one hundred years , Ihe period it has been established . " The memorial proceeds to say that subscriptions are being collected for the sufferers who have been rendered houseless , and dnring the inclement season of the year were exposed to " all the peltings of the pitiless storm , at a time of great commercial distress , owing to tho
recent wars . " The pathetically-worded memorial was considered with becoming spirit ,, ancl a donation voted , for which St . Hilda ' s afterwards received the thanks of their brethren from Chatham . Iu this year there was once more "trouble in the Church . " On 17 th July Bro . Potts proposed that Bro . Thomas llall bo paid tho snm of
3 s per night for attendance , and Is a degree for making , passing , and raising , and bo free from collection for refreshment . To this an amendment was proposed by Bro . Clongh , that Bro . Hall "be paid as ocr former Bro . Wright was paid on the account of business . " Tlie amendment was carried , whereon Bro . Hall rejected the amendment , and did say when he attended St .
