MASONIC IMPOSTOR .
TO THE EDITOR OF THE FREEMASONS' MAGAZINE AND MASONIC MIRROR . Sir and Brother , —I beg that you will favour the Brethren hereby giving publicity in your valuable Magazine to the conduct of a person styling himself "Dr . -, formerly house surgeon to the " German Hospital /' in visiting Lodges and soliciting relief therefrom . On the 6 th inst .,
he visited Lodge No . 44 , held at the Swan Hotel in this town , where he partook of refreshments with the members , and afterwards indue order of Lodge business , made his appeal for relief through the W . M . ( he refused to enter the Lodge ) . Three of the Brethren , two of whom were surgeons / were deputed to examine him ( at which he felt very indignant , and behaved most rudely ) in order to prove whether he was a medical man and also a Mason ; and it was afterwards their decided opinion that he might have been employed
about a medical hospital , but they were certain that he never held a diploma , and therefore did not belong to the medical profession . Since that time one of these Brethren has communicated with the present house surgeon of the German Hospital , and has clearly proved that this person is an impostor . His height is about 5 ft . 10 in ., he is strongly built , and appears about fifty years of age . I am , Sir and Brother , Your obedient Servant , Bolton-le-Moors , Lancashire . Thoimas Dawson , Secretary . August 16 th , 1858 .
DRAINAGE PLAN . TO THE EDTIOR OF THE FREEMASONS' MAGAZINE AND MASONIC MIRROR . Dear Sir and Brother , —As I have been quoted as recommending the plan of Mr . Leslie and Mr . Crickman , for applying the French practice of absorbent wells to discharge the sewage manure of London , I beg to state
that although I have recommended their use some years ago as an occasional expedient for dealing with surface drainage in low-lying districts , I do not consider it desirable to waste the manure of London , either by discharge into the Thames or into the absorbent strata—nor to diminish the water supply of the Thames . I am , & e ., 42 , Basinqhall-street , E . G . Hyde Clarke . lord " August , 1858 .
Superintendence oe Lodges . -A constituted Lodge , if in the country , or in other words , at more than ten miles distance from Freemasons' Hall , Great Queen Street , is under the immediate superintendence of the Provincial Grand Master ; to whom , or to his Deputy the Brethren are directed to apply in all cases of doubt or difficulty ; and all complaints and irregularities must be referred to one or
other of these officers . And in case they , or either of them , should neglect to proceed in the business after all legal preliminaries are laid before them , the application or complaint may be transmitted to the Board of General Purposes , by which justice is pretty sure to be impartially administered ; and in all cases an appeal will lie to the Grand Lodge . —Pr . Oliver . VOL . V . 2 B
