lord , Bro . Menkins . On this occasion a portion of the new furniture was brought in for inspection , consisting of three very handsome pedestals , the work of Bro .

The Loyal Welsh Lodge , of which Bro . Thomas was the first W .

STAFFORDSHIRE . Wolverhampton . —^ . Peter ' s Lodge ( No . 607 ) . —The monthly meeting of this Lodge was holden at the Lodge-room , Star and Garter , on Friday , September 4 . The W . M . having opened the Lodge in the 3 rd Degree , requested Worshipful Bro . Lewis , P . M . No . 769 , to take the chair and perform the ceremony . During the evening the W . M . called the attention of the Brethren to the
indigent circumstances in which the widow and children of Bro . Meyrick had been left by his untimely decease ; he was glad to hear a subscription was being raised for their benefit . Amongst those who had already contributed liberally were many Masons , and he did not doubt but that others ., when they became acquainted with the merits of the case , would also contribute their mite . The W . M . proposed a Brother as a joining member . No other proposition being made , the Lodge was closed in due form .
The members of this Lodge assembled as usual on the first Thursday in October . After reading the summons confirming the minutes of the last meeting , Bro . Shipton , at the request of the W . M .., gave the lecture on the Second Tracing-board , in a way that reflected much credit on himself , and elicited the thanks of the W . M ' , and Brethren present . Lodge of Honour ( No . 709 ) . — The members of this Lodge met at the Lodgeroom , on Friday , Sept . 11 . There being no particular business to transact , the Lodge was merely opened and closed in the 1 st Degree . Bro . Lewis , P . M ., proposed two Brethren as joining members of the Lodge .
