Hassan And Zoolma;
the abolition of Snttee , stands boldl y forth as undoubted gems in his crown , whatever opinion may be held of the materials whereof the rest is composed . In the simultaneous efforts which were made in various parts of the country for the suppression of Thuggee , under the able direction of Major Sleeman , whose book on the subject is more higbly interesting than any other recently published , Ghuffoor Khan and his band of ruffians met the fate which they so richldeserved .
y These pages have been too long drawn out to describe the journey of Hassan and Zoolma to his father ' s house . Hassan had by the adventure got rid of his passion for wandering , and he and his wife were welcomed with joy by the happy Azim . It is not certain that Hassan ever told Azim the real name and family of his daughter-in-law , as it might have shocked his pride ; but Azim was too happy to receive back his son on any terms to be too curious on the matter .
The Late Brother H. C. Selby.
THE LATE BROTHER H . C . SELBY .
IN our obituary for March last , we recorded the decease of this estimable Brother , and stated that his career was not marked by brilliant effect . We wish not to be misunderstood as implying any imperfection in the Masonic conduct of one who well and worthily performed his duty—in fact , if all Masons acted as did our zealous Brother , by doing that which their respective vocations enabled them to perform , we should find what an amount of general good might be brought forward into acti
ve operation . The following circular will shew that Brother Selb y was desirous to impress upon the minds of others what stood foremost in his own , a sense of public duty : — " Office of Clerk of the Peace for Middlesex , " Session-House , Clerkenwell Green , 1 st February 1815 . " Brother—Many of the Lodges of Freemasons in this county not
, having complied with the terms of the Act of Parliament , ' For the more effectual Suppression of Societies established for Seditious and Treasonable purposes , and for better preventing Treasonable and Seditious Practices , ' 39 Geo . III . c . 79 , I have deemed it my duty to acquaint you therewith ; and in order that Masons' Lodges may not ( as they do at present ) remain subject to prosecutions for not complying with the Act , I herewith send you an extract from it for your government therein
. " I am , Brother , your very obedient servant , " HENRY COLMNGWOOH SELBY . " Clerk of the Peace . "
