Board Of Benevolence.

BOARD OF BENEVOLENCE .

rriHE monthly meeting of the Board of Benevolence wag held 1 on Wednesday evening , at Freemasons' Hall , London . Bro . James Henry Matthews President of the Board occupied fcha chair . Bro . David Dixon Mercer Senior Vice President and Bro .

0 . J . E . Tijou P . Assist . G . P ., for Bro . C . A . Cottebrune Junior Vice President , occupied the vice chairs . Brother W . Lake Assist . G . S ., Bro . W . Dodd , Bro . G . S . Becknell , and Bro . H . Sadler G . Tyler , were also in attendance . There was a large gathering , all the Brethren being in mourning for Lord Lathom .

The paper of business for Grand Lodge of 7 th prox . was laid before the General Committee , and then the Board of Benevolence was opened . On the motion of Bro . D . D . Mercer J . V . P ., seconded by Bro . C . J . E . Tijou , the following resolution was carried unanimously— " That a hearty and cordial vote of

thanks be given to V . W . Brother James Henry Matthews for the very able , kind and courteous manner in which he has presided over the meetings of this Board during the past twelve months . " Bro . J . H . Matthews acknowledged the compliment , and immediately proceeded to say he did not like the Board to

commence its work without reference to that one Bubject on which Masons were in such profound grief , not only those who were around that table , but all those throughout the whole kingdom—the lamented death of tbe Earl of Lathom M . W . Pro G . Master . He was pleased to see that a resolution with

reference to the matter was going before Grand Lodge , and therefore it was not necessary that the Board should pass one ; it was better 'hat it should come from Grand Lodge itself . There was also another subject he had to mention , the death of Bro . J . M . Clabon , who was for many years President of the Board of

Benevolence , but on account ot infirmity had not attended it for some years since he ceased to be President , and was not known to many Brethren . He might mention that Bro . Clabon was well known to many for his works of charity and benevolence . He moved that a resolution of regret should go on the minutes .

Bro . Henry Garrod P . G . P ., as one who knew Bro . Clabon well , seconded the motion , which was put and carried . The Board thereafter proceeded to deal with fifty-three petitions , and at the conclusion of their labours had dismissed lour , deferred five , and granted £ 990 to the remainder , in sums of £ 75 , , 650 , £ 40 , £ 30 , £ 25 , £ 20 , £ 15 , £ 10 , and £ 5 .
