NEW MxlSONIC HALL FOB SCOTLAND . The M . W . G . M . then laid before Grand Lodge a communication which he had received from the Grand Lodge of Scotland , stating that the foundation stone of a , new Masonic hall would be laid in Edinburgh , with Masonic honours , on the 24 th instant , and inviting a deputation from the United Grand Lodge of England to be present on the occasion .
THE COLONIAL BOA ^ lD . Bro . Aria said he was about to rise to put a question to the Grand Master when his lordship commenced to read the communication from Scotland . The question he wished to ask was this : he thought it was a recommendation of the committee that a certain number of those who had served the office of Master of colonial Lodges should be on the board . He did not find any such Master among those elected or appointed , and he therefore wished to know if the recommendation had beW overlooked , r
The M . W . G . M , said that the word s" when practicable qualified the recommendation , and he had not thought it practicable to appoint any such Brother , Bro . Aria wanted to know howit was impracticable . The M . W . G . M . said he should decline to give that information . THE PROVINCES OF BERKS AND BUCKS . The M . W . G . M . handed in a return which he had received from the Prov . Grand Lodge of Berks and Bucks ) from which it appeared that , owing to the minute book having become lost , certain information applied for could not be furnished to Grand Lodge . His Lordship added a statement to the effect , that he had himself written , on the 18 th of March , to Bro . the Marquis of Dowhshire , Prov . GvM .,
upon the subject , but had not yet received an answer ; but as the noble Marquis was absent on the continent , he might not have received the communication .
DEPUTATION TO SCOTLAND . The M . W . G . M . in reverting to the communication from Scotland , said , that as the interesting ceremony referred to would take place on the 24 th instant , there was not much time to consider what course Grand Lodge ought to adopt in reference to it . It was clear that the matter would not admit of delay , and he should be glad to hear some proposition made with respect to it , He was ready to appoint a deputation of not less than three members , and as many more as might volunteer to join them . ( Hear , hear . )
Bro . Havers , P . G . D ., thought Grand Lodge ought to act upon the very fraternal request which had been made to them . Such would be only a becoming act in them as Brother Masons and neighbours , and he should therefore move that a deputation be appointed to attend the Grand Lodge of Scotland on the interesting occasion of laying the foundation-stone of a Masonic Hall for all Scotland . Lord Panmure , D . G . M ., in seconding the proposition , observed that the most natural course would be that the Brother who represented the Grand Lodge at
the Grand Lodge of Scotland , should be the head of the deputation . He had formerly filled that office , but as he had since been raised to much higher honour in the Craft , the inferior became merged in the superior office . Under these circumstances he could not feel himself at liberty to take part in the deputation without the distinct authority of the Grand Master . The motion having been put and carried , Bro . Havers , P . G . D ., moved " That the deputation consist of Bro . I \ Dundas , M . P . ) Bro . Colonel Burlton , the G . Dir . of Cers ., and the Grand . Secretary , " the Grand Master to have power to add to their number .
