Beach expressed his intention of bringing a motion before the Grand Lodge , the Brethren adjourned to an excellent banquet , at which , in returning thanks for-his health being drunk , Bro . Captain Amherst related an instance of a
Bussian officer in the Crimea being granted large parole through the influence of a Brother , who recognised him as one of the Craft , which parole he most honourably kept , thereby forming an exception to the general rule . It is a matter of sincere congratulation to the Craft , that so talented a nobleman and practised a debater as the Earl of Carnarvon should have joined the Masonic body . His advent may be looked upon as giving hope of a new era in the conduct of the business of the Grand Lodge .
