James Fitzgerald , W . M . The business consisted of an initiation , a passing , and raising , —the whole of the ceremonies being most excellently performed by the W . M ., calling forth a unanimous
vote of thanks from the Brethren . The Lodge , which , for some time , has been in a weakly state , has , under the auspices of its respected W .
