prayers thereof were granted , on the recommendation of the Committee : — ist . From Comps . John Penberthy Berryman , as Z . ; William Guy , as H . ; Charles Trnscott , jun ., as J . ; and seven others , for a Chapter to be attached to thc Peace and

Harmony Lodge , No . 496 , St . Austell , to be called "The Mount Edgcumbe Chapter , " and to meet at the White Hart Hotel , St . Austell , Cornwall . 2 nd . From Comps . John Graydon as Z ; Charles Coupland as H . ; Thomas Waters Knight as J . : and nine others , for a Chapter to

With respect to a petition for another chapter , the committee reported that they had also received a petition from Comps . George D . Pochin as Z . ; Heywood Masters , as H . ; Joseph C . Gillman , as J . ; and seven others , for a chapter to be attached to the Architect Lodge , No . 137 *; ,

Didsbury , to be called " The Architect Chapter , and to meet at the Didsbury Hotel , Didsbury , Lancashire . This petition was regular in form , but inasmuch as the Lodge to which the Chapter was proposed to be attached had net completsd

three years of its existence , the Committee could not recommend that the prayer thereof be granted They , therefore , referred the question of the granting of this petition to the consideration ot Grand Chapter .

Comp . Savage advised that Grand Chapter should not depart from its rule . If they granted the prayer it would place Grand Chapter in a difficulty , for it would be quoted hereafter as a precedent for departing from their usual course .

As the Lodge had not been established three years it could not have three Past Masters to occupy the chairs of the three Principals . He moved that the prayer be not granted Comp F . Adlard seconded the motion .

Comp . H . Browse moved as an amendment that the prayer be granted , but that the charter should not issue for six months , by which time the lodge would have completed its three years of existence . Comp . Havers enquired whether there was precedent for such a course .

Comp . Hervey replied that there was no law or practice for that course . On a division the amendment was lost , and the motion of Comp . Savage carried . Comp . Hervey said he was sorry to announce that Comp . W . Pulteney Scott was absent on

account of illness , but that companion desired to express his regret to Grand Chapter that he was unable to be present . Comp . Havers then said that with respect to the next paragraph ofthe report the Committee have further to lay before Grand Chapter a report

of the proceedings of the District Grand Chapter of Bengal , on the 6 th of November , 1873 , and beg to remit the whole question to Grand Chapter for its consideration . It referred to a matter which had on former occasions been before Grand Chapter . District Grand Superintendents in the

colonies had been in the habit of allowing chapters to work pending the granting of charters by Grand Chapter . In May , 1873 , a resolution was come to in Grand Chapter forbidding it ; but Comp . Locke , the acting District Grand

Superintendent of Bengal , had in June granted a dispensation to the nine companions to form a chapter called the Mayo Chapter . At that time the resolution of Grand Chapter could not have arrived there , and he therefore acted in ignorance of the resolution . When the

resolution arrived there , he withdrew his permission . He , however , subsequently looked into the patent of the District Grand Superintendent , whose tecum lenens he was , consulted with other com-

Grand Chapter.

panions , and by their advice withdrew his prohibition . The case appeared to be clearly against all the laws of Grand Chapter ; bnt after the most careful consideration he ( Comp . Havers ) had given to the subject , he had come to the conclusion that the whole of the

proceedings were right . The resolution was come to by Grand Chapter in May , but it was not confirmed till August . The old law was not against Comp . Locke . When he referred to the patent of Comp . Sandeman , he foand he was authorized and empowered by his own hand and seal to

grant to any nine known companions of the Order , a dispensation for their holding Chapters at certain times and places as he mi ght find to be most convenient . The new law was not then passed ; and the old one was not against it ; the constitutions provided for it , and the

patent authorised it . The old patent was granted in Comp . Gray Clarke ' s time , as S . E ; and it was not likely that either he , Comp . W . H . White who preceded him , put the power in the patent of their own will . The power was quite in accordance with a known law of Grand Chapter , for the patents were all engraved and printed .

Having read the whole of Comp . Locke ' s report , he must say how much he appreciated the straightforward and manly conduct , the ability and the perfect courtesy , together with the determination it exhibited on the part of that companion to do his duty . A more exhaustive report he had never read . He would propose that the matter be referred to the Committee of

General Purposes , with directions to examine and report uponjwhat changes , if any , it would be advisable to make in the laws of Grand Chapter , to the next meeting .

After a few words from Comps . Hamilton and Sanderson , the motion was put and carried . Comp . H . Browse then read the conclusion of the report ofthe Committe of General Purposes as follows : —¦

The President having quitted the chair , it was resolved unanimously that the best thanks of this Committee are due , and are hereby most fraternally offered to Comp . AV . Pulteney Scott ,

President , for his constant attention to the business of Royal Arch Masonry , and his courtesy and kindness to all the members of the Committee during the last twelve months , and moved that it be recorded on the minutes .

Comp . Adlard seconded it , and it was carried unanimously . The Committee of General Purposes for the ensuing twelve months was then elected , and Grand Chapter was closed .
