Supreme Grand Chapter.

SUPREME GRAND CHAPTER .

THE Quarterly Convocation ef Grand Chapter was holden ou Wednesday evening , at Freemasons' Hall , London . Comp . S . Rawson occupied the chair of M . E . Z ., Comp . Captain Platfc the chiir of H ., and Comp . Captain N . G . Philips the chair of J . ; Comp . Colonel Creaton Treasurer , Comp . Ernest Emil Wendt as S . N ., Comp . H . G . Buss as Scribe E ., Comp . J . Lewis Thomas Sword Bearer , Comp . S . Mullens D . C . ; besides , a largo number of Past Graud

Officers and Principals and Past Principals of Chapters were also present . Comp . Buss announced that Comp . Hervey was too ill to be present , and that he had commissioned him ( Comp . Bass ) to express his regret to the M . E . Z . that he was unable to attend . Comp . Rawson observed that all the Comps . regretted as much as he did that Comp . Hervey continued to be so seriously indisposed . On

the motion of Comp . Colonel Creaton , seconded by Comp . R . Gray , the report of tho Committee was adopted , and ordered to be received and entered on the minutes . The first four petitions which the Committee had received ( particulars of which wore given in onr last ) were then granted , on the motion of Cornp . Colonel Creaton . Comp . Colonel Creaton also moved , and Comp . Robert Gray seconded , the

crrauthtg of the petition for a Chapter to be attached to tbe Ahlershot Camp LOCIL ' , No . 1331 . Comp . H . Hacker P . Z . 723 inquired whether since this had been recommended Grand Chapter had received any communication from the Provincial Grand Superintendent of Hants and the Isle of Wight . Comp . Buss said there had been a letter received from Comp . W . Beach , in which he asked for a postponement of this

petition until he had time to make inquiries , which he proposed to do by going to Aldershot . Comp . Hacker thereupon thought the petition should be postponed . Comp . Ravvson agreed . A petition for a new Chapter could not be granted without a recommendation , and this recommendation was now in abeyance . Comp . John Fenn , one of the petitioners , objected . It had been recommended , and the

recommendation had been passed by the Committee , who had recommended Grand Chapter to grant the Warrant . Comp . Rawson did not think it was now in the power of Grand Chapter to grant the petition . Comp . Barron said tho motion now before Grand Chapter was that the petition be granted . It might , however , be convenient to postpone it . Comp . Rev . C . W . Arnold said

there was a definite question before tbe Grand Chapter—was this petition to be granted or not ? He did not see how the letter from the Grand Superintendent could overrule the agenda paper . Comp . Rawson said he had no legal adviser present to assist him , but his opinion was that this discussion should not be continued , and that the consideration of the prayer of this petition

should be postponed in consequence of the withdrawal of the recommendation of the Grand Superintendent . Colonel Creaton felt bound to say that when the Committee received a petition duly signed and recommended by a Grand Superintendent , they had no alternative bnt to bring it before this Grand Chapter . He thought it a great pity that the Grand Superintendent , and thoso other Comps . who

signed the petition , did not enquire before sending it . It would be thought playing fast and loose with the Committee . Comp . Joshna Nnnn said that tho Grand Superintendent having recommended the petition , and the Committee having brought it before Grand Chapter , the Comps . were at liberty to discuss it . They ought now to decide upon it . Any letter not before the Committee could have

no weight . Comp . Rawson thought that the Grand Superintendent having withdrawn his recommendation , Grand Chapter could not consider that he had granted his recommendation . Hi 3 own personal feeling was that they should decide at once that this petition should not bo entertained that evening , but postponed till next meeting .

Where a Superintendent had acted in error , ho should be allowed to correct that error . Several other Comps . having spoken , Comp . Rev . C . W . Arnold proposed , and Comp . Robert Gray seconded , the adjournmeut of the petition till next meeting . This was carried . Comp . Colonel Creaton then drew attention to the concluding paragraphs of the Committee ' s Report , and Grand Chapter was closed .
