The Free Vintners.
AVithout detaining our readers , we can only state that Jolm Gates was duly admitted into Freemasonry : — " Anil lei ' lint ne'er see joy that breaks ztiat oatlt . " ~ llie ' a . ll . and what with one circumstance and another , and the certain somethings upon which we dare not linger or venture to hint upon , he was
not aware for some time who were his companions , until he found himself at the banquet table , when , strange to relate , the first person who caught his eye , being placed exactly opposite to him , was his brother victualler , RICHARD KATES ! " The devil!—you here ? " cried out John Gates , with a remarkable queer expression of countenance .

' Thus saying , amidst the plaudits of every Mason in the ream , he held out his hand to his brother John Gates , who , exerting his good sense , at
once gave up all feelings of animosity , and returned his brother ' s pressure with perfect cordiality , making use of , at the same time , the following quotation :
" / as free forgive you , its I would be forgiven—J forgive all . "—Hen . VIII . The mist with respect to the reason why Kates had changed the sign of his house , was soon cleared away ; the influx of strangers thereto was occasioned by the circumstance of a Lodge of Instruction being held there , which was presided over by Freemasons of the hig hest repute , and who were respected for the abilities they possessed in disseminating our Masonic lore .
