disposition of Offices being complete , at the closing of the Lodge , Bro . P . M . H . Maudslay thariked the Brethren for their zealous co-operation during his year of office , which presented one of the most agreeable recollections of his life . He should ever remember with pleasure that he had passed the chair in the Vitruvian Lodge , and he trusted they would permit him to present the Lodge with a snufF-box , as a small memorial of the esteem in which he held the Brethren . It
would afford him much happiness in knowing that , in after times , when he might not be with them , its presence would be the means of perpetuating their friendship . He rejoiced that they had elected his esteemed friend Bro . Cherry as their present Master , and was sure they could not have chosen one more deserving . He had known him in business as well as in Masonry for many years , and he was satisfied they would not ; regret the choice they had made . He then stated that he had presented a petition to the Lodge of Benevolence , on behalf of their afflicted
Bro . Mitchell , which had been very well received . They had awarded him £ 15 . This he ( Bro . Maudslay ) proposed should be given to him in weekly payments , seeing his helpless condition . He should , with their permission , make a further appeal to their fraternal feelings , to which he doubted not they would respond from their knowledge of the necessity and emergency of the case , which he need hardly say , was a deserving one . He then received the subscriptions of the Brethren , amounting to £ 3 . 15 s . The Lodge being closed in due form , the Brethren partook of a
banquet , served up in Bro . Heppel ' s usual style of excellence . The toasts suitable for the occasion were drunk in a very Masonic spirit , and the Brethren departed at a late hour in harmony and peace . The gift presented by P . M . Maudslay is an elegantly-chased silver-gilt snuff-box , and bears the following inscription : — " Presented to the Yitruvian Lodge , No .-103 , by Henry Maudslay , P . M ., as a token of esteem and regard on the Installation of William Cherry , S . W . as W . M ., 9 th January , 1856 . "
