and G .

THE MARK DEGREE .
WJL have to direct the attention of our readers , to a communication which appears in another page , from Comp . Gaylor , the G . Scibe , N . of Scotland , relative to the spurious Mark Lodge meeting in London . We certainly regret , after the evidence recently publishedof the illegality of that body , that so highly esteemed a brother as Lord Leigh , who holds the distinguished position of P . G . M . for Warwickshire , should have allowed himself to be
installed as its master—and it now behoves him , after the statements made hy Comp . Gaylor , to ascertain whether those Comps . with whom he is associated , have ever been legally initiated into the Order in Scotland , as asserted—Comp . Gaylor , distinctly averring , that Dr . Jones , the founder of the London Mark Lodge , has never been registered in the books of the G . Chapter of Scotland . It is clear that the matter cannot be allowed to
stop as it at present stands , but that the Bon Accord Chapter of Aberdeen , must he called strictly to account for its proceedings—and with regard to the London Lodge , if it continues to meet in spite of legal prohibition , the G . Chapter of Scotland must call upon tlte G . Lodge of England to use its power to put a stop to the practice of illegal Masonry hy members of its ^ body . I . 2
