TO THE HDITOH OF THE FfiES 3 I . lSO . YS' SUGAZf-YE AlfD MASOyiC HMnOIl . DEAR SIR AND BROTHER , —Some weeks since I saw a letter in your paper from Bro . Bullock , of Crewe , on the subject of relief to itinerant Freemasons , and those claiming to be such . There cau be no doubt that is a question of very considerable difficulty , and I have found it so during the four
years I have acted as Almoner to the Lodge of Lights here . "Warrington being midway between Liverpool and Manchester , and on the high road between the North and the South of England , we get a very large share of applicants ; my rule has always been to relieve unhesitatingly when a prima
facie case has been made out , and to expose unmercifully in cases of detected imposture . A few days since a gigantic Black called ou me , giving the name of Julius Jones ; he professed to be a Mason , ancl had by some means acquired a knowledge of what may be called the superficial jargon of tbe Craft ; a previous
attempt on his part to get relief some year and a half before , which I recollected , and other uninistakeable evidence , proved hi ;; - to be an impostor , and I have this morning been the menus of getting him sent to gaol for one month , with hard labour , as a rogue and vagabond . When before the magistrate be gave
the name of Henry Wilson . I send this communication as a hint to Almoners of other lodges , should they ever be similarl y imposed upon . Yours fraternal Iv , H . B . WHITE , P . M ., S . W ., and Treas . US , Prov . G-. Steward . Warrington , 27 th Dec , 1 S 65 .
