Hopper , and the other members of the Grand Council of England and AVales . 111 . Bro . Cox is a celebrated member of the Masonic Order . In Craft Masonry he has discharged every important office . His services as Worshipful Master of several Lodges are well known ; as AV . M . of the Grand Steward ' s Lodge , the Royal Somerset House and Inverness Lodge , the Lodge of Harmony , and others , none could , or can now surpass him . In the Royal Arch Degree he has attained the highest honors , ancl in Knight Templar Masonry he has
discharged his duties , as you , most of you now present , can testify , hi a masterly manner . In the Grand Conclave ( under Sir Kt . Col . Tynte ) he holds one of the most important offices , and to the Grand Council of the 33 rd Degree he has been of great assistance : he was early in the field , he took great trouble in the early days , ancl has now the pleasure of witnessing its prosperity . I think , indeed I am sure , he deserves your thanks . On my right we have Sir John Robinson , Bart ., and Captain Hopper . 111 . Brethren , I give you the health of the Members now present of the Supreme Council of England and AVales . ( Loud applause . )
