Lodge of Industry ( No . 219 ) . —On the 22 nd of January , the Brethren of this highly respectable and excellently worked Lodge met together at Bro . Quelch ' s , Dick's Hotel , Pleet-street . Among those present we observed Bros . Suter , Orelli , Irvine , Haines , Haynes , Guyde , Polden , Saunders , Howard , Quelch , Carpenter , Dunn , and Lescombe . The visitors were Bros . John MottThearle , Goring , E . Martin , Newman , Hay day , Piatt , Bigg , Cooper , Webster , and Marston . Bro . Suter , having been installed as W . M ., appointed as his officers Bros . Orelli ,
S . W . ; Irvine , J . W . ; Guyde , S . D . ; Haines , J . D . ; Polden , I . G . ; Bro . Lescombe was again appointed Treas ., and Bro . Carpenter Sec . — -the W . M . prefacing the appointments by very appropriate encomiums on the fitness exhibited by each of the Brethren appointed to the various offices , aptly observing , in conclusion , that however they might manage elsewhere as regarded the appointments , he believed that in this case he had put the right men in the right places . At the close of the business of the evening , banquet was announced .
And we may here be excused for tarrying in our account to notice the very elegant , spacious , and well-furnished Lodge room the Brethren of the Industry possess at Bro . Quelch's . We have seldom met with one better adapted for Lodge purposes . The furniture is very beautiful . The W . M . ' s chair , with its elegant pillars , is a chef-d ' oeuvre . If the place wanted other associations we have it in the circumtance that we are on the spot consecrated to the memory of the worthies of a by-gone time , and from the back window of Bro . Quelch's we see where Dr .
Johnson dwelt , and poor Goldsmith and Sir William Black stone wrote ; and from the front we see the house ( now occupied by Bro . John Mott Thearle , the Masonic jeweller ) , where gentle Izaak Walton lived and kept a shop , and wrote his immortal work on the art of angling . Here between the two entrances of the temple is classic ground , and our minds naturally revert to the armorial emblems over each gate , the one a winged horse and the other a lamb . And for the delectation of our legal Brethren we introduce this consideration on the aforesaid emblems :
As thro' the Templar ' s courts you go , The Lamb and Horse displayed , The emblematic figures show The merits of their trade . That clients may infer from hence , How just is their profession , The Lamb denotes their innocence , The Horse their expedition .
Oh , happy Britain ! happy isle ! Let foreign nations say—Here you get justice without guile , And law without delay . Or should these emblems be thus sung of ? Unhappy man , these courts forego , Nor trust those cunning elves ; The artful emblems only show Their clients—not themselves !
These all are tricks , these all are shams , With which they mean to cheat ye ; But have a care , for you ' re the lambs , And they the wolves that eat yo . Nor let the plea of no delay To those their courts misguide ye , For you ' re the prancing horse , and they The jockeys that w ould rido ye .
