Scotland,

of all working ^ by the Chapter , and consequently all communications with the parent Chapter , until by the exertions of Companion John Cameron , a wellknown and indefatigable member of the Order , this state of matters had happily ceased to exist , and the Chapter been placed upon a footing able to resume its

working . The Supreme Chapter , appreciating the labours of Companion Cameron , and to whom a vote of thanks was tendered for his services , unanimously agreed to restore the said Chapter to its privileges , granted authority for their meeting forthwith to elect Office-bearers , and sustained a Broxy Commission issued in favour of one of their Companions , W . H . Ellis , formerly a Commander in the Hon . East-India Company ' s service , and presently residing in Cheshire .

A memorial , signed by William Bamage in the names of Bros . Bettie , Houston , Findlay , Bamage , Beveridge , Mollison , & c , members of the suspended Chapter Bon Accord , of Aberdeen , No . 70 , praying to be re-admitted , was read . Thereafter it was moved by Comp . Douglas , P . B . Z ., Elijah , Eorfar , No . 12 , that the Supreme Chapter delay making any deliverance on the memorial until the said Brethren recall an d deliver up to the Supreme Chapter the warrant issued by

the Boyal Arch Chapter , No . 70 , to the London Bon Accord Mark Lodge , or , at least , until they show to the satisfaction of the Supreme Chapter that they have used their utmost endeavours to procure its restoration , which motion was seconded by Comp . W . D . MacBitchie , P . P . Z ., Carlton , St . John ' s , New Brunswick , and unanimously agreed to , and the Grand Scribe N . directed to send a copy thereof to Bro . William Bamage .

On the motion of Comp . Campbell , P . Z ., Glasgow , No . 50 , and duly seconded , the Supreme Chapter resolved that , following the practice of other Masonic bodies , and with the view of establishing a friendly communication with the Supreme Grand Chapter of England , they should appoint a Companion to represent them in that supreme body , anticipating that the Supreme Chapter of England would , with themselves , be disposed to view such a measure as conducive to their mutual advantage , and be willing to reciprocate . The Scribes were directed to make inquiry whether this was likely to be favourably entertained , and to report at next quarterly communication .

Some applications for charity having been considered and disposed of , the Chapter was closed and the Companions separated . Chapter No . 1 . —The Companions of this ancient Chapter assembled in the Turf Hotel at five p . m ., on the evening of Tuesday , September 23 rd , being the Autumnal Equinox , for the purpose of electing Office-bearers for the ensuing year . The Chapter was , in the absence of their First Brincipal , E . C . John Gumming , opened by E . C . William Gaylor , B . H ., who , having stated the object of the

meeting , and being put in possession of the previous minute of nomination , moved , that in terms thereof the Chapter appoint to the office of Principal Z . their highly respected and indefatigable Companion Andrew Murray , who , notwithstanding that his previous services had justly warranted all exemption from further labours , had in the most handsome manner allowed himself , at the unanimous request of the Companions , again to be nominated for Office . The motion having

been unanimously entertained , Companion Murray was thereupon declared duly elected to the chair of Z ., and invested and installed accordingly . The remaining chief Office-bearers were declared to be as follows : ¦ —Comps . William Gaylor , II . ; William Ireland , J . ; William McBobert , E . ; George Darling , N . ; John Hannay , T . ; So tires Georgiades , Allan McNiven , and W . M . Bryce , sojourners , who , being all present , declared their acceptance of office , and were obligated and installed in due form .

The Chapter having been closed , the Companions thereafter , as had been arranged , proceeded to the banquet-hall , where there had been prepared an elegant and sumptuous entertainment , at which the Companions , after refreshing themselves , had the felicity of enjoying that moderated " feast of reason and flow of soul , " by which at all times the meetings of this Chapter are happily characterized . The meeting broke up by their excellent chairman leaving the chair about nine p . m .
