SIR AND BROTHER . — " Essex is a large county , " said the R . W . Brother , the Provincial G . M . for that district , at the last Grand Lodge , —the first , by-the-bye , that I ever had the honour of attending . Essex is a large county , and so is Hampshire , from which I came , and both are celebrated for their agricultural productions—so far we are equal ; but I am only a humble Mason , and therefore do not know how literally a communication from the Most Worshipful the Grand Master is

If a law be infringed one night , the debate must not go on , as I understood , but if it be infringed on another , it matters not . I do not care whether the R . W . the P . G .

But to my question the

W . on the next occasion brought a ticket porter and took the Chair in earnest . Will you oblige by stating what the Masonic Law says about it , to Yours , A HA _ _ ! E HOR .
