Should be published every quarter , he proposed that they be passed , as submitted by the G . T ., subject to audit with the accounts of the next quarter . The proposition was seconded by the S . G . D . and assented to unanimously . A vacancy having occurred in the number of Grand Stewards by the departure from Calcutta of W . Bro . Jevaniee Pestoniee , * the Prov . G . M . appointed W .

Bro . W . S . De Courcy , Master of Lodge No . 55 % to be a G . S . Bro . De Courcy was called to the Throne and invested with the clothing and jewel of his office . The Prov . G . M . stated , that agreeably to the Warrant of the M . W . the G . M ., granting permission to the Members of Lodge No . 80 , Star in the East , to wear a Centenary Jewel , which had been read in the D . G . L ., on the 24 th June , 1848 , he had lately received the Jewels and distributed them to the Members of Lodge

Star in the East . The Prov . G . M ., in connection with the honour which had been 4 conferred on the R . W . Bro . Hoff , referred to , read the following circular , which he had addressed to the Lodges throughout the Province , regarding a testimonial to that worthy Brother , in which it was proposed that the D .

"No . 9 , Chqwringhee Road , Calcutta , Zlst July , l % 5 i . " R . W . Sir and Dear Brother , " With reference to the proceedings of the S . G .

Such a testimony on the part of the Fraternity at large , of this vast Province , would form a graceful addition to the honour already so deservedly conferred on our worthy Brother . " According to the amount of subscription realized , will be determined the size and style of the Portrait , which will of course represent the Bro . in full Masonic

costume , as a G . W . of the TJ . G . L . of England . " I shall feel greatly obliged if you will kindly take an early opportunity of bringing the proposition before your Lodge , and favouring me with their views on the subject . The amount subscribed may be at once remitted to me direct , together with the names of subscribers , so that a list of them may be recorded in the Archives of the Prov . G . L . "I would further beg the favour of your communicating this proposition to any unattached Brother in your vicinity . tc I remain , & c , ( Signed ) "James Ramsay , Prov . G . M . " There being nothing further before the District Grand Lodge , it was closed with prayer and in due form .

* This worthy Brother will be recollected by many of the Brethren in England , to whom he endeared himself by his truly fraternal conduct and bearing during a lengthened visit on matters of great importance to himself and his brother .
