It appeared that since the revival of the Knights of Malta Lodge , No . 58 , Hinckley , on the 20 th July last , under the mastership of Earl Howe ( after having been dormant for four years ) , eight initiations and three joinings , had taken place ; the number of subscribing members was now sixteen ; and several other gentlemen being candidates for admission into the Order , there was every prospect of this ancient Lodge once more attaining a prosperous and stable position .
In St . John ' s Lodge , No . 348 , Leicester , one initiation had taken place during the past year ; the number of members being thirty-eight . In the John of Gaunt Lodge , No . 766 , Leicester , there had been an increase during the year of ten members , viz ., seven initiation ^ and three joinings ; the present number of members being forty-three .
