What he desired to know was , —might the Chapter be attached to a Lodge in another island ?
The acting G . Z . made some observations which were inaudible below the dais , but which , as far as we could gather , were to the effect that he did not understand the question , and he desired the G . Scribe E . to read that part of the minutes again ; which done , Comp . Warren repeated his question . Comp . Havers made some observations , on Comp . Dobie ' s great kindness in endeavouring to satisfy Comp . Warren ; and concluded by saying that a Chapter might attach itself to the nearest Lodge ; and it was not necessary for the Lodge to be held at the same place as the Chapter .
Comp . Warren expressed himself satisfied with the reply , and the subject was allowed to drop . The minutes of the last Convocation having been confirmed , Comp . Dobie said , as it was then but half-past eight , and there was no other business to transact , if any Companion had a question to ask , be should be happy to answer him . Whereupon , Comp . Gregory rose and said he wished to know how he could obtain a return
of the meetings of the Prov . Grand Chapters . Comp . Havers called the Companion to order , and insisted that no one had any right to put a question without notice , and that there was no question before the assembly . Comp . Gregory referred to the invitation of the M . E . Z . Comp . Dobie said he never beard of such bodies as Prov . Grand Chapters .
Comp . How said he knew well of one ; the Prov . Grand Chapter of Northumberland only a few days ago summoned the Royal Arch Masons of tbe Province to the consecration of the Ogle Chapter , for which a Charter had been recently granted , as appeared by the minutes read that evening .
