THE CORFU CASE .

, were a No . 3 , under the Grand Lodge of Greece , and had for some time been engaged in correspondence to obtain a warrant from the Grancl Locke ot lingland . AVe were at length successful , and on January l 1839 commenced working the Pythagoras Lodge of Corcyra . The Locke was and continues to be highly respectable , well conducted , ancl nS-5 II ! f Sreraitted uwardsof thirty pounds during the
i ^ T " -, 1 L _ P years 183 U and 1840 , but cannot get any acknowledgement—not even a reply to its numerous communications ; the members are without certificates at which they are naturall y indignant , and many have left the island without these necessary documents .
VVe have addressed several influential friends in England to write to the Grancl Secretary ' s office , ancl requested others to call there we have received their replies , stating that the parties have written ancl called but still the most marked silence is observed !
