Lion and Lamb Lodge ( No . 227 ) . —At the usual meeting of this Lodge at the Bridge House Hotel , on Thursday , February 7 , Bros . J . G-. Scott , W . M ., Mr . James Mallett and Mr . James Balfour were initiated into the Order , and two other gentlemen were proposed for initiation at the next Lodge . The working of this Lodge is excellent , it being under the guidance of that able and indefatigable Mason , Bro . Muggeridge . The testimonial that is now in progress will prove the high estimation in which he is held b y the Craft . It was very gratifying to witness the attendance of nine Past Masters of No . 227 , at their head
being the father of the Lodge , Bro . Sotheran , who was initiated in 1808 . Bro . Mallett , in acknowledgment of the reception he had met with , mentioned that his forefathers had all been Masons ; but circumstances had prevented him joining the Order until that night . He was truly gratified with all he had seen and heard , and hoped that he should not only do honour to his parentage , but become a creditable member of the institution .

The newly * invested Officers , each in their turn , received a Masonic address from the retiring W . M ., informing them of their duties and situations in the Lodge . At the close of business , the J . W .
summoned the Brethren to the relreshment-room , where one of the most recherche banquets had been prepared under the immediate superintendence of the muchrespected host . Upwards of forty brethren sat down to dinner , amongst whom were several visitors , including Bros . Potter , P . M ., No . 11 ; Buss , P . M ., No . 29 ; Pisher , P . M ., No . 103 ; Norman , No . 165 ; Blackburn , No . 169 ; Caldwell , No . 25 ; & c . & c . The cloth having been removed , the W .

Potter , in returning thanks , complimented the W . M . and the Lodge upon the superior manner of the working , and the energy
with which the true principles of Masonry were carried out . The immediate P . M ., Bro . Cooper , then proposed the health of the W . M ., who , in returning thanks , said he should always endeavour to attend punctually to his duties , and follow in the footsteps of the learned and respected P . M .,, whose health he begged to propose , and long life to him . Bro . Cooper said that as long as he lived he should always have the welfare of the Lodge at heart , and if any of the Brethren wanted instruction , he should be happy to give it at any time .
