He was interred on Saturday last at the Smithdown-road Cemetery , his funeral being

attended by a large number of biethren from his own lodge , as well as representatives from other lodges , who met the funeral coi I ege on ils entry to the cemetery , and , forming two deep , preceded it t J the church , and afterwards to the grave side .

( Continued from page 49 ) . in 1792 went to the "Black Horse , " in Carey-street . In 1793 , its meetings were held , respectively , in Phcenix Court ( presumrbly at the " Duke ' s Head , " its former place ot meeting ) , in Longacre , and at the "Grapes , " in Wardour-street , Soho . In 1794 , its place of meeling was the "Sun , " Great Windmill-street , and in 1705 , the " Bull

and Ram , in Old-street . After four years at the last named tavern , it went in 1 799 tj the " Britannia , " Goldenlane , Barbican , and there remained also four years , to 1 S 03 . From the date of the warrant of the Iodge in 17 S 8 , to the 31 st August , 1 S 00 , the first period of nearly thirteen years of the lodge ' s existence , the record of its proceedings is unfortunately lost , and the foregoing particulars are

necessarily obtained from the entries in the Grand Lodge Registers . In 1 S 05 , the " White Swan , " in VVhite Crossstreet , found the lodge a home , and in the same year , 1803 , it is stated in the existing lodge minute book "Lodge 245 removed to the house of Bro . John Thomas , the " Rose and Crown , " Clare-court , Drury-lane . In 1805 some unwarrantable proceedings took place in the lodge ,

sundry members were expelled , and on July 22 nd of that year , the Dep . G . Master , Bro . Thos . Harper , being present , the warrant was handed to the members present , and a Master appointed to serve until next St . John's Day . Two or three days afterwards Bro . Thomas notified his willingness to permit fuither meetings at his house in Clarecourt , and at a meeting held at the "Crown , "

Fleetstreet , on ist August , it vvas resolved to remove to Bro Coulson ' s , " The Swan , " White Cross-street , its last previous place of meeting , and the ensuing meeting vvas held at that house on 20 th August , 1 S 05 . But eight months after , viz ., on the iSth March , 1 S .. 6 , the lodge returned to the " Britannia , " in Golden-lane , Barbican , where , on igth December , 1 S 09 , a motion vvas carried for removal

to the " Luke ' s Head , " Old-street , and the lodge met at that tavern on the 21 st December , 1 S 09 . On iSth December , iSio , it was resolved to move to the "Princess Royal , " Paul-street , Finsbury , and the lodge met thereon December 23 rd of that year . Whilst there , the Union of the two rival Grand Lodges took place , and the lodge took its new number of 309 , United Grand Lodge of England . From February

3 rd , 1811 , to January 22 nd , 1 S 33 , a period of 22 years , the minutes of proceedings are lost , a circumstance to be much regretted , as duiing the early part of that peiiod , viz ., between 1 S 11 and 1 S 17 , there would in all probability be found many very interesting records relating to proceedings in connection with the formation of the United Grand Lodge , and the immediate results of that Union

which took place 1 S 13-14 ; and this supposition is justified by an entry under date of December 19 th , 1809 , when at the same meeting , at which it was resolved to remove to the " Luke's Head , " Old-street , " Bro . Grant proposed Bro . Bent , P . N . W . ( sic ) , as a delegate to attend the Grand Lodge respecting the Union . . . and Bro . Bent was nominated . " Duiing that period—1 S 11 to 1 S 13—we find ,

however , that in 1 S 13 the lodge ' s quarters vvere at the " Bell , " in Noble-street , Falcon-square , and in 1 S 16 it went to the " Britannia , " at Hoxton . From this house the lodge took its first Iodge title ot " Biitannia , " No . 309 , in 1819 , altering same in 1821 to its present title of " Lodge of Industry . " The occupation of the place of meeting at Hoxton extended over nine years , and in 1 S 25 the first move of the Lodge of

Industry was taken , the place chosen being the " Duke of Gloster , " Bethnal Green . Two years later—in 1 S 27—the lodge removed to the " Panther , " Belhnal Green-road ; in 183010 the "Sun , " in Clerkenwell ; and in 1 S 31 to its old quarters at the" Britannia , " Golden-lane , Barbican . There it was located , when in 1832 , the re-numbering of the lodges took place , and its new number became 219 . Next

year' $ 33—January 23 rd , when the minutes of proceedings are resumed , the Lodge of Industry , No . 219 , went to the "Lock and Key , " West Smithhtld-road ; in 1 S 34 to the "Ship" Tavern , Litlle Turnstile , Holborn . Here it settled down for four years , but became restless in 1 S 38 , when it removed to the " Hercules Pillars , " Great Queen-street , and , for a brief space , to the "George and " blue Boar , "

Holbom , and the next year—1839—to the Grand Hotel , Covent Garden , where it remained but for two years , for in 1 S 41 it occupied quarters at the "Three Tuns , " in Chancery-lane , returning however , to the "Grand Hotel , " Covent Garden , in 1 S 43 . From the nth June , 1 S 42 , to i 6 > h January , 1 S 66 , another period of about 22 years , the minutes are again' lost , and

they are supposed to have been destroyed by fire at the residence of one or other of the lodge ' s numerous Secretaries . Again the paiticulars of places of meeting have to be supplied from the official records of returns to Grand Lodge , and we find that in 1 S 44 it met at the " Northumberland Arms , " Covent Garden , remaining there duiing 1 S 44-5 , hut in 1 S 4 6 it went to the " Round Table" Tavern ,

in Leicester-square , staying there two years . In 18 4 8 the "Swan" Tavern and ' •Lord Dover Hotel , " Hungeiford Market , gave it shelter ; and seven years after , 1 K 55 , its place of meeting was " Dicks' Coffee House , " Fleet-street . Here commenced its longest sojourn in any one place , extending over a period of 11 years , in the course of which , viz ., in 1 S 63 , on another re-numbeiing of lodges taking

place , it received its present number , 1 S 6 . As lhe "Lodge of Industry , 1 S 6 , " it came to Freemasons' Hall in 1 S 66 , but after six years , and in 1 S 72 , it again visited the City , and met for three years at Masons' Hall , Masons' Avenue . Then the lodge went back to Westminster in 1875 , and held its meetings at Westminster Chambers , Victoria-street ,

making its final remova , three yeais later , and in 187 S renewing its labours at Freemasons' Hall , Great Queenstreet , where , in this year of light , 5 S 92 , A . D . iSS 3 , ~ it has completed its centenary of Masonic usefulness and Charity . May many centuries of prosperity attend the Lodge of Industry , 1 S 6 . So Mote it be 1
