10 . REPORT OF THE COLONIAL BOARD . To the United Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Eng land . Thc Colonial Board have to report re " The Cambrian Lodge , " No . 05 6 , Sidney , New South Wales :
1 . In the early part of 1888 a general movement took place in New South Wales , having for its object the union of the various lodges and constitutions in the Colony under the jurisdiction of the newly-formed Grand Lodge of New South Wales . At this period there were 80 lodges under the English Constitution , of which "The Cambrian " was one .
2 . This lodge had made its last return to Grand Lodge for the year 1885 , showing a list of 60 members , and since that time 16 initiations had raised the number to 76 . 3 . In June , 188 S , a meeting , privately convened and attended by 23 members , was held to consider whether the brethren would join the newly-formed local Grand Lodge . On taking the vote , 10 were found on each side , three refrained from voting , and the Chairman gave a casting vote in favoui of the proposal .
Subsequently other members gave their adherence , including some of those who had at first dissented . 4 . At the September meeting of the lodge the Immediate Past Master from the chair stated to the brethren that he and the Wardens had , while still in office , sent the lodge warrant in to the Grand Lodge of New South Wales , in whose possession it then was .
Some of the brethrtn present verbally protested against this act , and subsequently the dissentients held a meeting , in consequence of which they applied to the Grand Secretary of the local Grand Lodge for a return of the warrant . This was demanded in writing signed by eight brethren . 5 . Eighteen brethren signed a declaration that they were desirous of remaining under the Grand Lodge of England . The local Grand Secretary replied he held the warrant for the Grand Lodge of New South Wales , and the request was not complied with .
6 . Meantime the movement in favour of the new Grand Lodge had progressed , and become , as Lord Carrington , the District Grand Master , reported to the Grand Master , practically unanimous , and a request for its recognition by the Grand Lodge of England was forwarded to the Grand Master . 7 . At the Quarterly Communication held 5 th December , 18 S 8 , the request was submitted to Grand Lodge , with a strong recommendation from the Grand Master in its favour , and Grand Lodge resolved to recognise the Grand Lodge of New South Wales .
The Grand- Master reserved the right to continue any existing lodges in the Colony which did not join the movement , and stipulated that they should be deemed regular lodges notwithstanding the formation of the new body . 8 . The Grand Master of New South Wales also requested that the old lodge warrants might be retained by the lodges , and this request was acceded to , on condition that they were marked in the margin to the effect they were no longer in force under the Grand Lodge of England , and that the jurisdiction was
henceforth transferred to the Grand Lodge of New South Wales . Authority was sent out to the Grand Master , Lord Carrington , to cause this to be done , and acting thereon he caused a notification complying with the condition to be stamped on the margin of all the warrants . The warrant of the Cambrian Lodge was ultimately handed to the new lodge under his jurisdiction , which took the same name , " The Cambrian Lodge . " A similar course appears to have been adopted with the warrants of all the other lodges which joined the new body .
9 . Before , however , the matters referred to in the last paragraph had happened the dissentient members had written to the late Grand Secretary , Col . Shadwell H . Clerke , a letter dated the 8 th November , 1888 , but which arrived after the recognition of the new Grand Lodge by the Grand Lodge of England , stating that the warrant had been handed over , and that they desired to remain
under English jurisdiction . They also asked for a duplicate warrant , and prayed advice and assistance to secure their rights . By enclosures in that letter it appeared there were at that time 63 members , 26 for and 20 against the proposed union , and the rest not declared . The contention was raised that being three or more in number the non-assenting brethren were absolutely entitled to retain the warrant under Article 219 .
10 . The Grand Secretary replied on 27 th March , 1889 , that a duplicate warrant could not be granted—that the transfer of the lodge was in accordance with the wishes of a very considerable majority of the members , only 20 not agreeing , and that in the opinion of the Grand Registrar , Article 219 of the Book of Constitutions did not apply to such a case .
11 . In October , 188 9 , five of the dissentient members protested against the ruling of the Grand Registrar , and the Colonial Board , having considered the protest on 9 th January , 1890 , upheld the ruling as correct , and this was in due course communicated to those who protested .
Various letters were subsequently received from these brethren who protested against the decision of the Colonial Board and complained of the taking and detention of the warrant , and at length a letter of 22 nd April , 1891 , was received h y the late Grand Secretary , signed by Bro . George Robinson , describing himself as Worship ful Master of the Cambrian Lodge , but whose name was not registered in the books of the Grand Lodge of England , and asking if " our appeals from the Grand Registrar ' s decision and that of the Colonial Board had ° een heard by Grand Lodge . "
12 . This was followed by several further letters in which it was stated that ' egal proceedings would be taken in the Colony to recover the warrant and property of the lodge , and it is not known if such steps were adopted , but the "arrant still remains in thc hands of the new lodge with the cancelling mark above stated . ' 3- In January , l 8 g 2 , the Board , not being acquainted with the facts as to what pad been done with the warrant , and the previous correspondence not being betore "> owing to the lamented decease of Col . Shadwell H . Clerke , resolved to recommend the grant of a warrant of confirmation in the event of the original not being ^ turned . ¦ 4- This resolution was communicated to the applicants , but before the recommendation could be acted upon the full facts above set forth were disclosed , and . B oard thereupon rescinded its former resolution , and resolved to take no step ln the matter .
United Grand Lodge Of England.
15 . The Board adheres to the view it took of the scope of Article 219 of the Book of Constitutions , when the ruling of the Grand Registrar was protested against , and is of opinion that its provisions are not intended to deal with cases where the lodge contemplates joining a new Masonic allegiance . 16 . It appears to the Board that the warrant was properly cancelled under the direct authority emanating from the M . W . the Grand Master , given at the time of the recognition of the Grand Lodge of New South Wales , and that as it is impossible for the Grand Master to issue a new warrant , no action should be taken .
17 . No proper appeal was ever preferred to Grand Lodge as pointed out by the Book of Constitutions , Article 217 . It is an entire misuse of terms to style the letters of November , 1 S 88 , and October , 1 SS 9 , " Appeals . " 18 . The lodge has neglected to make any return or payments since 1 SS 5 , and has never attempted to comply with the law in this respect until 23 rd February
1892 , when a return was signed comprehending 2 t names , four not registered in the books of Grand Lodge , and one of a brother since deceased . ( Signed ) GEORGE DAVID HARRIS , Chairman . Freemasons' Hall , London , 8 th May , 1893 .
11 . Thc Annual Report of the Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution for Aged Freemasons and Widows of Freemasons , dated 19 th May , 1893 , will be laid before Grand Lodge . , 12 . NOTICE OF MOTION—By VV . Bro . J ALBERT FARNITELD , P . A . G . D . of C .:
That the sum of £ 70 be irjven from the Fund of General Purposes ; that the money be placed in the hands of the Secretary of the Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution for Aged Freemasons and Widows of Freemasons , to supply the inmates of the Institution at Croydon with coals during the winter season .
13 . NOTICE OF MOTION—B y V . W . Bro . RICHARD EVE , P . G . Treas .: That this Grand Lodge declares that the conclusion of the Colonial Board , viz ., that Article 219 did not apply to the case of the Cambrian Lodge , No . ' 656 , of Australia , is totally opposed to the uniform practice of Grand Lodge since 1779 , and that the correct construction of the law is that laid down b y the V . W . Grand Registrar , Bro .
