EXTRA LIMITES .
We hardly expected to have found space or time to give any report , of the proceedings at Romford , but our Brother of the printing-press having volunteered his exertions , we had not the heart to refuse what our own desire tempted us to clo . AVe therefore append the following report of the Essex Grand Lod ge—somewhat out of its proper place , it is true—hut though last in order , it will not be the less interesting ;
A Provincial Grand Lodge for the County of Essex was helcl at the AVhite Hart , Romford , on the 2-Wh of September , by the R . AV . Rowland Alston , Esq ., M . P ., Prov . Grand Master . His son , R . G . Alston , Esq ., D . G . M ., was present ; ancl , besides a pretty full attendance of Grand Officers of the Province , we noticed a few distinguished Brethren of the Craft , among whom were Bro . R . T . Crucefix ,
M . D . P . G . D ., and Bro . J . Lee Stevens , P . G . S . & c . All the Lodges in the province were represented ; namely , those of Colchester , Halsted , Rochford , Chelmsford , Brightlingsea , Romford , and Chigwell ; whilst , on the whole , the muster was but limited : certainly not so strong as the efforts used for Freemasonry in Essex would seem to warrant . After the appointment of officers for the year , and other routine
business had been disposed of , very warm and perfectly unanimous votes of thanks were passed in favour of the Provincial Grand Master , and Deputy Grand Master , respectively , accompanied by due Masonic honours ; and which were suitably acknowledged by the worthy objects .
