In this county he has done much , and in Masonry you all know him so well , that I feel I ought to say no more than propose his health . I give you ' The Lord Leigh , the Prov . Grand Master and Lord-Lieutenant of the county . ,,
Lord Leigh said he thanked the D . Prov . Grand Master for the kind and flattering manner he had introduced the toast . "I may say , since I filled this chair , I have found so many friends , and have seen so much of life , that I feel the more honoured in the office I hold . I am very fond of Freemasonry ; we all know the good it does in the county at large . We are about opening a Lodge at Kenilworth , and I hope the Brethren of the Provincial Grand Lodge will attend . I hope to have the pleasure of giving the banquet at Stoneleigh . "
