It appeared that the bequest had merged into the general monetary transactions . Bro . Dover and the Treasurer spoke on the propriety of compliance with the directions of the testator ; Bro . AAliite , the G . S .,
and others , to the contrary . The motion was , however , carried ; and it was ordered that stock be transferred , to fulfil Bro . Henekey ' s bequest . The building account , which is still unsettled , was then considered ; and , it appearing that the parties had waited long and patiently for their account , a special general meeting was considered necessary to sell out sufficient stock to pay the account . HOUSE COMMITTEEFeb . 16 . —The parties having agreed to wait for
, payment until after the festival in May , a special meeting became unnecessary . A ballot , for the reception of eight candidates , will take place on the 13 th of April . The annual festival will be held in Freemasons ' -hall , on the 24 th of May . The Board of Stewards is forming , and promises well .
