Royal Arch.

give them the full particulars of the case , as he ( Bro . Havers ) never remembered an instance of the kind . Comp . WYNN was sure the chapter would make all proper submission to Grand Chapter , and , on returning to Tottenham , would work regularly . Comp . WARREN , liaving been appealed to by Comp . Havers ,

could only state that if the case of the removal of the St . John ' s Chapter had not been brought directly before Grand Chapter , it had indirectly , he believed , by a petition for another warrant for the loilge . Comp . MCINTYRE said a chapter could not be removed without the authority of the lodge to which it was attached , and i '

did not appear in the case mentioned by Comp . Warren that consent had not been obtained . In the case of the High Cross Chapter now before them , he felt that , it liaving been investigated by the General Committee , who had suspended the chapter until due submission had been made , they could not remit the suspension on such a letter as that before them , which was altogether most lame and impotent .

The amendment referring the matter back to the Committee was then put ancl carried unanimously . The next paragraph iu the Committee's report ran as follows : — " The Committee have also to report that the Alfred Chapter ( So . 306 ) , Leeds , which was suspended in October , 1863 , for

neglecting to comply with the peremptory orders of the Committee , have memorialised for a removal of the suspension , and the chapter having furnished the Committee with the information required , and sent in their charter and minute book , they beg to recommend that the prayer of the memorialists be granted , their suspension be removed , and the members of the chapter restored to their Arch Masonic functions . "

Comp . GOLE moved that Chapter 306 having made all due submission , the suspension be withdrawn , and tho brethren restored to their Masonic functions . Comp . MCINTYRE seconded the motion . Carried unanimously . A letter was then read by the G . SCRIBE E . from Comp .

White Melville , G . Scribe __ - . for Scotland , stating the determination of Grand Chapter at their convocation in August relative to the receiving Scotch Royal Arch Masons in English chapters , and the reason why the Grand Chapter of England declined to receive a representative from the Grand Chapter of Scotland , had been laid before that Grand Chapter on the 21 st of September , and was considered as satisfactory .

The letter was ordered to be entered on the minutes . Warrants ivere then granted to Comps . Henry Murray as % ., William Thomas Mercer as H ., John Ball as J ., and eight others , for a chapter to be attached to the Zetland Lodge ( No . 525 ) , Hong Kong , China , to be called the Victoria Chapter , to meet at Hong-Kong , on the 18 th day of every

month ; and to Comps . Peter Clymo as Z ., Richard Ilawke as H ., John Ongh as J ., and seven others , for a chapter to be attached to the St . Martin's Lodge ( No . 510 ) , Liskeard , in the County of Cornwall , to be called the St . Martin ' s Chapter , to meet at the London Inn , Liskeard , on the first Tuesday of every third month .

Tiro . S . S . DvnsET then rose to more that the correspondence that has taken place between the Principals of Chapter 784 and Grand Scribe E . he produced and read in Grand Chapter , as the Chapter 784 feels most aggrieved at the Committee of General Purposes declining to lay their complaint ( regarding an un-Masonic letter addressed to thorn by a P . Z . of 781 , through their Scribe E . ) to the notice of Grand Chapter , and that the

sense of Grand Chapter be taken on the matter originally complained of against the P . Z . of 784 . This gave rise to a long and somewhat personal discussion , which it could do no good to publish , and resulted in the wholematter being remitted to the General Committee , with instructions to report thereon to the next Grand Chapter , by which

time we hope a much respected companion , who is evidently ilithe wrong , will have made such an apology to the Wellington Chapter as to prevent our hearing any more of the matter . All business being ended , Grand Chapter was closed a littlebefore ten o'clock .

[ With regard to the discussion on the first question , wo may add that the St . John's Chapter granted for Hampstead was : removed toRadley's Hotel , Blaekfriars , and liaving conveniently lost its charter , applied for a warrant of confirmation . This Comp . Warren opposed on the ground that , the charter liaving been granted for Hampstead , the chapter had no business in-London ; but he was overruled by Grand Chapter . But more of this anon . —ED . ]
