A MEETING of several Brethren anxious for the revival of the Grand Conclave , was held on the 29 th of May , at Wright ' s Hotel , Strand ; at which a requisition to the Grand Chancellor was agreed on , and the minutes of such meeting were dul y confirmed on the 14 th August . We understand that the Grancl Conclave will assemble at Freemasons ' Hall , in the early part of the ensuing monthto report the decease of
, H . R . PI . the Duke of Sussex , the late Grand Prior , and to suggest the course to be adopted in the choice of a successor . The statutes of the order have not been revised since 1809 , a period of thirty-four years , nor has a Grand Conclave been held since 1817 . By the existing statutes , it appears that the right to attend Grand Conclave is restricted to the Grand Officers and Commanders of Encampmentswith their Captains . It shouldhoweverbe borne in
, , , mind , that at the time this restriction was made , it was in analogy with the congressional regulation of the Grand Lodge and Grand Chapter . So these bodies having amended their regulations , a change analogous to such proceeding is essentially necessary , previous to electing a Grancl Sub-Prior for England .
