Royal Benevolent Institution For Aged Masons And Their Widows.

ROYAL BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION FOR AGED MASONS AND THEIR WIDOWS .

TO THE EDITOE OP THE EEEEMASONS MAGAZINE AND MASONIC MIEEOE . DEAE SIE , —Speaking as a lawyer , I apprehend there can be no question as to the interpretation of tho laws of the Eoyal Benevolent Institution for Aged Freemasons and their AVidows . The laws are : — "That no business shall he discussed at a special general meeting except that spceijledin the requisition . " "That no motion for any new regulation or law shall he

entertained at the general annual meeting unless a copy of the same shall have been communicated to the Committee of Management at or previous to the meeting in February . " NOAV , there is nothing in tho rules to say that laws shall only be altered at the general annual meeting . All that is enacted is , that nothing shall be done except a certain notice or communication has been made ; and , upon tho existing

rules , I hold ifc would be perfectly legal to convene a special general meeting for the purpose of altering every law , and afc such meeting the proposed alteration could be discussed and agreed fco , if the proposition was specified in the requisition , and due notice given . It seems fco me thafc the laws now existing rather point to a special meeting as more fitted for the discussion of

any alteration , by the fetter of three months' notice before such a question could be brought before the general meeting , and thafc snob law was designed more to prevent such discussions at the general meeting , than to limit them to ifc . I am , Dear Sir and Brother , yours fraternally , P . M .
