The Quarterly Court of thc Governors and Subscribers of this Institution was held last Saturday at Freemasons' Tavern , Lieut .-Col . John Creaton , Grand Treasurer , Treasurer and Trustee of tho Institution , in the chair . Among a large number of other brethren present were : Bros . J . Wordsworth , Henry Smith , Rev . A . F . A . Woodford , A . Pratt , R . B . Webster , A . J . Duff Filer , Alfred Williams , C . F . Matier , W . F . Smithson , Alfred W . Stanlield , W . H . Spaull , F . R . Spaull , John Sampson Peirce , ll . A Dubois , Edgar Bowyer , John

Parkhouse , George Cooper , Baron Stone , Fdwin Thomas , Robert Bradley , Frederick Walters , Lieut .-Col . H . S . Somerville Burney , Edward B . Grabham , C . H . Webb , J . Mertin , J . P .

The notice convening the meeting having been read by Bro . HEDGES , and the minutes of the January Court having been read and confirmed , and the summonses of the subsequent General Committee Meetings read for information , Bro . HENRY SMITH , Prov . G . Sec . West Yorkshire , proposed that Col .

Creaton should be re-elected as Treasurer of the Institution , stating lhat in the discharge of his duties as Treasurer hitherto Col . Creaton had displayed the gieatest interest in the Institution , and had devoted a large amount of his time and a great deal of labour in advancing its concerns . Bro . A . I . DUFF FILER , P . G . S . B ., seconded the motion .

The motion was carried unanimously . Col . CREATON , Grand Treasurer , in acknowledging the vote , said he thanked the brethren very much for this compliment and honour , and he should do his best , as hitherto , to discharge his duties faithfully . The following brethren were then elected on the General Committee : — J . VV . Berrie , J . J . Caney , Capt . Colvill , J . F . Corben , W . Dickenson , Win . Dodd , E . C . Massey , Henry Massey , A . Moore , and C . Pugsley . Thc remaining two vacancies remained to be filled up .

Col . CREATON said that since the notice of motion had been given which stood in his name , for declaring six further vacancies in thc school , one other approved candidate had been withdrawn , so that his motion would now be for declaring five extra vacancies . Bro . J . S . CUMBERLAND , Past Prov . G . W . N . and E . Yorkshire , moved " That the day of election for the Girls' School be altered to Thursday

instead of Saturday , as at present , except when the Boys election falls on a Thursday , then on Wednesday , and that the rules of the Institution be altered according . " In making the motion he said what he had to propose was with the most sincere wish for the interest of the Institution , and also for the convenience and interest of the brethren from the provinces who had to attend the elections . He hoped to receive the generous support of the

London brethren . He thought it must have been patent to the provincial brethren that the election of the Girls' School taking place on the Saturday , and the Boys' on the Monday , entailed on the provincial brethren a great loss of time , as they had to remain in town over the Sunday . Consequentl y it was to their interest , at any rate , that some alteration should be made , and made as early as possible . He thought it would be much better for all

concerned to avoid the compulsory attendance of provincial brethren over Saturday , and it was for this reason he had placed his notice on the paper . It had been pointed out to him by some brethren , and no doubt there was some force in the remark , lhat the elections should take place on Wednesday and Thursday instead of Thursday - . nd Friday as he proposed ; and it had also been pointed out to him that supposing this alteration was carried , to

some extent only one alteration took p lace—that the Boys' might be held on the Wednesday ; but whatever the alteration was he had understood there would be some opposition . Still the alteration was worthy of serious consideration . He was not sure that the time would not come when it would be convenient to have the two elections in one day . To place the brethren in possessisn of the facts apply ing to himself he would say he left York early that morning and he had lo go back that night . If he came up on

Monday he would have to leave York early in the morning . 1 his might not occur again in a man ' s lifetime , but such were the difficulties which the provincial brethren had to contend wilh , and therefore he asked the brethren to consider the matter in the interest of the greater convenience of the greater number . Bro . Cumberland concluding by moving the resolution of which he had given notice . The motion bavins ' ' been seconded ,

Col . SOMERVILLE BURNEY enquired what the state of things would be if the motion was now carried , and the corresponding motion at the Quarterly Court of the Boys' School , on Monday , was not carried . Col . CREATON said , no doubt if this motion was carried , it would be carried in the Boys' School .

A BROTHER asked whether the motion was intended to apply only to Quarterly Courts when there were elections , or to the whole of the Quarterly Courts . If it did not apply to all he thought there would bc some rnnfiminn .

Bro . W . W . SPAULL would move an amendment . He would like to propose that Saturday , the day fixed by the present rules , be the day fixed for the election . The proposed alteration was a very serious one to make . He had known many provincial brethren prefer Saturday , and lo stay in town till Monday . He thought Saturday was much the best , and he also thought they should adjourn the consideration ol the subject till the next meeting . It ought not to bc hastily passed .

Bro . C . V . MATIER supported the last brother . Ihe subject was thoroughly discussed at the last revision of the laws of the Instution , when a very large number of brethren stated it was more convenient to them to meet on Saturday and finish the week in London . Bro . J . SAMPSON * PEIRCE , G . D . would like the matter to be made

perfectly clear to everybody . Did Bro . Cumberland intend the alteration to apply only to the two Quarterly Courts at which there were elections , or to the other Quarterly Courts as well ? Rro . CUMBERLAND said he meant it to apply only to the elections . Col . CREATON said he thought it would be inconvenient to have the two

Election Quarterly Courts on I hursdays , and the other two Courts on Saturdays . AH the Quarterly Courts should be on the same day of the week . ~ Bro . CUMBERLAND would be very happy to meet the brethrens' wishes in this respect . Bro . A . J . CUFF FILER , P . G . S . B ., said he had been waiting in the hope

that some country brother would get up and support the proposition ; but , in the absence of such a brother , it appeared to him lhat the country brethren did not desire the alteration , and it would be better to leave well alone . The subject was well considered when the present laws were settled , and if so many alterations were made from time lo time , the brethren would not know where thev were .

A BROTHER from Warwickshire thought it would be well to let the provinces speak out for themselves in this matter . It was extremel y inconvenient lor him to be at the meeting that day and come up again to the Boys ' Election on Monday . The brethren he had spoken to , in the country thought it would be belter to have the two elections in one week , and not have a Sunday intervene .

A BROTHER asked whether the Committee of Management had had the subject under thoir consideration ' ! Bro . Col . CREATON thought not—at least , not recently . Bro . DEHANE , an Essex brotlu-r , said the Essex brethren suffered from meeting or . Saturday . Bro . Capt . HOMFRAY ' Monmouthshire ) felt bound to support the keeping the meeting on Saturday . That was certainly the most convenient day for him , and he should have very great difficulty in making other arrangements .

Bro . GEORGE E . SNOW enquired what good would result to the Institutions from the alteration . An alteration was made some years ago , when the present days were fixed as being most suitable to the convenience of the majority of thc provincial brethren . Suit all they could not . If the alteration would increase the revenues of the Institutions he should say alter it , but there would be no increase in the revenue ; and it would be just as inconvenient lo some brethren as the present plan was to others , ancl it might have to be altered back again . He trusted that matters would be kept as they were .

Bro . BINCKES suggested that as a very awkward state of affairs would ensue if this motion was carried that day and negatived on Monday , or negatived to-day and carried on Monday , it would be better to withdraw the motion and refer the matter to a Committee . When an alteration was formerly made it was thought the best possible arrangement for the

convenience of the majority both of thc country and of the metropolitan brethren . He had received letters both for and against thc proposition . Whatever day was fixed it must be inconvenient for somebod y . If it was referred to a Committee the } ' could take evidence and report to the next Court .

Bro . W . W . SPAULL proposed : " That a joint Committee be appointed to enquire as to the most convenient day for the April and October Quarterly Courts , and that they also consider when the April Court falls on Easter the desirability of adjourning it one week . " Bro . C . F . MATIER seconded the motion .

The motion was carried , Bro . Cumberland withdrawing his motion . The following brethren were appointed the Committee : Bros . Colonel Creaton , J . S . Cumberland , Capt . Homfray , A . J . Duff-Filer , C . F . Matier , and H . E . Dehane . Col . CREATON said the next business was ihe consideration of the motion which stcod in his name . The brethren had heard that there were two withdrawals , so that there had been now only twenty-seven candidates on

the list . He wished to s- * y before putting the motion it onl y occurred to him on the morning of the day on which thc last meeting of the General Committee was held . He had latel y been occupied very much thinking over other matters , but on the morning he referred to it struck him lhat having , as they were all aware , spent a large sum of money in providing a house which they turned into a junior school for fifty girls , in which they had only twenty-live , and as they had the means of keeping the extra live he proposed to put on , it would be a good opportunity to propose to the brethren to

admit all the candidates . 1 hese were the sole reasons which induced him to give this notice of motion . He would therefore propose "That the additional vacancy ( caused by the retirement of one girl through ill-health ) reported by the General Committee be filled al this . election , and that five further vacancies be declare J , making in all twenty-seven vacancies for this election , and lhat the twenty-seven approved candidates now on the list be declared duly elected accordingly , thereb y raising the number of elected girls in the Institution to 235 . "

Bro . G . J . MCKAY seconded the motion , which was then put and carried unanimously . Col . CREATON then declared the following twenty-seven candidates duly elected :

Hill , Maude Mary F 1245 McMillan , Charlotte A . ( First Application ) Shrapnel , Lilian Mary S 1212 Besley , Annie Lucy Jane „ Sherrington , Mary Louisa 1147 Brockbank , Annie ... „ Banister , Charlotte Elizabeth ... 547 Habgood , Florence Kate „ Nicholls , Augusta Helen 4 6 5 Mildred , Fanny ... „ Hopkins , Mary Elizabeth no Matthews , Eleanor ... „ Lister , Elsie 2 S Owens , Eva Mary ... „
