A scheme for the establishment of a United Grand Lodge of Xew Zealand is afoot , but for the present does not appear to excite very considerable interest amongst the several lodges in the colony . O ' f these , there are . under the English jurisdiction , some forty-six in the South Island , and forty-two in the Xorth Island : the towns having more than one lodge being respectively- Ash burton .
Christchurch and Dunedin , two each ; Featherstone . three : AVellington . five : and Auckland , seven . As out of all this number of lodges , in addition to others working under the Scotch and Irish constitutions , not a score of brethren attended the meeting held on the 1 st February last , at AVellington . and but six lodges altogether wore
represented , viz .: three English , two Scotch , and one Irish , we cannot think the resolution - that , in the opinion of this meeting it is desirable , in the interest- ; of masonry , that a United Grand Lodge of X e \ v Zealand should 1 ) 3 formed , " will me twith immediate acceptance by the general body of New Zealand Freemasons .
LNVERCAKGiMi . MARCII 1 st . —A second meeting of Past Masters of the Southland Lodges now engaged in preliminary steps with a view to a general meeting of masons to consider the advisableness of forming a United Grand Lodge of Xew Zealand was held last evening . There wore twelve present , representing all the constitutions . A resolution approving the desirableness of a
United Grand Lodge led to debate . Several of those taking part stated that before committing themselves to the proposal absolutely they should like to be informed as to the nature of the Constitution likely to be offered in lieu of the present one . The general feeling seemed to be that it should be on a ' liberal" basis , and that as far as possible all the officors , both of the Grand and subordinate Lodges should be elective .
Ine following ammdment AV . IS then proposed : — "That , in the opinion of this meeting , it is desirable that a United G .-aud Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons be formed in Xew Zeal in 1 . provided that the English , Irish , and Scotch Constitution * be represented equally in the said Grand Lodge ; that the re-election of officers be on the elective principle ; and that the present sj'stem of
jrovernment in the lodges of the various constitutions be not interfered Avith , except with the sanction of at least two-thirds of the members good on the books of the said lodge . " After debate this amendment was carried , and i : s proposers appointed to move it at the general meeting of masons to lie held a fortnight hence . It Avas resolved that the proceedings of the
general meeting should be opened by reading the address recently delivered by P . M . Bro . Gillon , at the " meeting recently held ia Wellington , for the formation of a Masonic Union in that city , and that at the meeting in question , contingent on the first resolution being carrie 1 , another should be submitted providing for the formation of a braich of the Masonic Union in Southland .
