The M . AA ' ., Bro . John Savage , P . G . D ., moved " That at page 10 of the Laws relating to tho Fund of Benevolence in law 16 after the words in the lines 9 , 10 , and 11 , ' shall not be effectual until confirmed at the next or a subsequent meeting of tho Lodge of Benevolence , ' be added the words , ' except in cases of recommendations to the Grand Lodge . "
The motion having been duly seconded , was opposed by Bros . Clabon , J . Nunn , and Joseph Smith , although no amendment resulted from the opposition ; their arguments rather tending to shew the desirability of deferring the alteration on the ground that the Law referred to had so recently come into operation . E . AA ' . Bros . Col . Cole , Horace Lloyd , and others on and below
the dais , supported the motion of Bro . Savage . The Acting Grand Master , before putting the motion , presented to Grand Lodge the arguments which had been used on both sides in the course of the discussion , and said although he ivould not express any opinion himself , Grand Lodge ivould judge for themselves . The motion having been put , was carried by an overwhelming majority . Grand Lodge was then closed with prayer .
