The above circular is most important : it compasses the effectual mode of defining who are the qualified parties to sit and vote in Grand Lodge ; and if it could be but promptly and honestly acted on , would prevent any repetition of the scene that occurred on the 4 th of December last . We understand that the scrutineers construed this circular into a direction to exclude members , because returns were not made ; if so ,

We presume the circular is to extend to the provinces , —indeed , to confine its utility to London , ivould be to create ( what , we feel assured , the Grand Master does not intend ) a very different feeling ; for , if confined to London , it ivould appear to bear some other construction . The provinces ( we speak advisedly ) , require very strict examination into the qualification of their muster-roll ; and , by this course , we shall not only obtain the general information , but bring the provinces into closer approximation with head-quarters .
