The Chan man , in proposing " Success to the Sister Institutions , Royal Masonic Institution for Girls , and Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution , " said he felt that the Masonic body would continue to give that generous support to all the three great institutions as long as the
world existed that it had given hitherto . Bro . James Ter-y said — My Lord and brethren , permit me in this assembly most heartily and most sincerely to thank you , not alone for thc generous accord with which you have mentioned the names of the Girls' School
and the Benevolent Institution , but also as a representative of one of the institutions to thank the noble lord in the chair , and the brethren of the Province of Warwickshire , for the very kind , noble , and generous response they have given to the appeal of your loidship to-night , more
especially when we consider that this time last year no less a sum than ^ 12 , 700 was brought in for this institution . We cannot but congratulate the Chairman , Bro . Binckes , the Secretary , and the Committee for being enabled for a second time to announce a similar amount . Ladies and
brethren , we have to thank you most heartily for the very generous support that you have given to the Girls' School and to the Benevolent Institution during the past year , and to remind you that the sum announced at our three institutions has arrived at the great result of £ 32 , 000 , and ,
my lord , if this may be taken as an augury of our success in the future , in 1877 *' amount will then be the largest ever known . Abl y supported by the brethren of the provinces , we earnestly hope and trust that during the year 1877 a sum far exceeding £ 32 , may be
brought in for the benefit of the three institutions . On behalf of the Secretary of the Girls ' School , whose absence from indisposition we all most sincerely regret , and on my own behalf in connection with the institution which I have the honour of representing , I have to assure your lordship that if the Province of Warwickshire
will but bestow their favour in 1877 on behalf of'the poor old men ' and the poor eld women to tie same amount as they have done to-day for the boys , our most hearty and sincere thanks wilt be bestowed on you , my lord , brethren , and ladies . I trust all of us may be spared to the coming year to witness even a greater result than that achieved to-night .

Henry Muggerid ge resigning as from October next his position of Collector to this institution which he had held for twenty years . The letter staled that the cause of this was the failing health of thc writer , which prevented his discharging his duties with satisfaction to themselves .
Col . Creaton said that some of the brethren would be much surprised at this letter being sent . Thc brethren must have seen with regret for some time that Bro . Mu « . geridge ' s health was not so good as it had been . He himself had met him in different parts of the town during the last few months , and it was with great difficulty he moved about . He was sure all the brethren would regret
Bro . Muggcridge's resignation , and the cause of it . But as it waa necessary that a motion should be made now that this letter of resignation had been received , he ( Col . Creaton ) begged to move " That the resignation of Bro . Muggeridge be accepted , and that it be accepted as from the 1 st of October next . " At the proper time he should give notice of motion for the Quarterl y Court in October
that Bri . Muggcridge ' s great services to the Institution be recognised by thc grant of a substantial annufy ' . Bro . Joshua Nunn seconded thc motion for the acceptance of Bro . Muggcridge ' s resignation . Bro . Col . Creaton said he should move that the Acli . i g Secretary in writing to Bro . Muggeridge stating that his resignation had been accepted should say that : t was with
very great regret that the brethren received it . From the hig h respect they all had for Bro . Muggeridge everything that was necessary to be done must be done in the kindest and most delicate way possible . , Major Finney seconded the motion which was adopted . Notice of motion was given en behalf of Bro . Raynham W . Stewart for the Quarterly Court of Saturday next for
the admission of ten girls not successful at last election to thc school , the infirmary to be used for the purpose . Bro . 11 . Browse ( for Bro . Tattershall ) moved an increase of £ 5 in the salaries of each of thc Assistant Governesse . -, aiid the granting a salary of £ 21 to a fourth . Bro . Browse said thc subject had been carefully debated by the House Committee , who considered that the wav in
which the ladies discharged their duties fully emitleii them to this recognition . Bro . CtJ . Creaton seconded the m . lioii , which was carried Bro . H . Browse ( lor the Rev . J . Browne ) moved that ' Miss Shcppard , the Assistant Matron be granted a salary of £ 30 a year . It was but a small remuneration for her
services which had been very valuable especially during the illness of Miss Jarwood . The motion , which was seconded by Bro . Griffiths Smith , was carried . Authority to the Chairman to si gn cheques was afterwards given , and the Committee adjourned .

my lord , if this may be taken as an augury of our success in the future , in 1877 *' amount will then be the largest ever known . Abl y supported by the brethren of the provinces , we earnestly hope and trust that during the year 1877 a sum far exceeding £ 32 , may be
brought in for the benefit of the three institutions . On behalf of the Secretary of the Girls ' School , whose absence from indisposition we all most sincerely regret , and on my own behalf in connection with the institution which I have the honour of representing , I have to assure your lordship that if the Province of Warwickshire
will but bestow their favour in 1877 on behalf of'the poor old men ' and the poor eld women to tie same amount as they have done to-day for the boys , our most hearty and sincere thanks wilt be bestowed on you , my lord , brethren , and ladies . I trust all of us may be spared to the coming year to witness even a greater result than that achieved to-night .

He was sure all the brethren would regret
Bro . Muggcridge's resignation , and the cause of it . But as it waa necessary that a motion should be made now that this letter of resignation had been received , he ( Col . Creaton ) begged to move " That the resignation of Bro . Muggeridge be accepted , and that it be accepted as from the 1 st of October next .
