MILITARY LODGES .

ELSEWHERE in our columns will be found an interesting report of the Installation Meeting of the Meridian Lodge , No . 743 , attached to the 31 st Begiment .

The dates of constitution in Bro . Hughan ' s list are only given in the case of tho " Moderns , " the dates therefore assigned to the " Ancient " Lodges have been kindly approximately fixed by him , in response to our request . It is a curious circumstance that up to the year 1813

though fifty English Military Lodges were in existence , with few exceptions these were working under "Ancient " warrants , the first Military Lodge in the above list constituted by the "Moderns" being St . George , in the East York Militia ,

A . D . 1782 . It will be seen that only six of the above Lodges are now in existence , also that all of these are working under Civil Warrants * The following are the Military Lodges now on the Roll : —

And of these , No . 316 , though dating from 1798 , was not attached to the 1 st ( Royal Regiment ) until after 1814 , in which year it was located at Madras , working , presumably , under a Civil Warrant . An analysis of the above list shows the following result : —
