" John Masson , Grand Chancellor . " The M .

A relative of his widow ' s , to whom she might naturally have looked for relief , had lost his all in the District Bank of Northumberland . The Fraternity had consequently taken up her unfortunate case , and by exertions made it was hoped a sufficient sum might be raised to put her into some small way of business .
Sir Knt . Colonel Yernon said , after the very clear statement of Sir Knt Barker , be thought this must be considered a case deserving their sympathy ; he therefore moved " That £ 20 be granted to the petitioner . " The motion , having been seconded by Sir Knt . Hinxman , was carried unanimously . The Chancellor then announced that the M .

Challoner Ogle , Northumberland : Colonel Alexander Gordon , Berkshire .
Sir Knt . Bryant , referring to that part of the report which exhibited the support the Grand Conclave had received from the Grand Master of the Knights Templar in the United States , moved "That the thanks of this Grand Conclave be given to the M .
