United Grand Lodge.
Brother Allcroft shonld take the left hand side . This suggestion having been acted upon , the Earl of Lathora said he had no hesitation in saying that Brother Marshall had been elected . The Earl of La thorn , by the command of the Most
Worshi pful Grand Master , now rose to propose : " That the sum of 50 guineas be granted to the family of the late James Cross , and a similar snm of fifty guineas to the fnnrily of the lute Thomas Catteruiole , two of the crew of the Albert Edward lifeboat , at Claeton-on Sea , which boat
was presented to the National Lifeboat Institution by Grand Lodge in the year 1877 ; these two men , after having assisted , the first in saving 116 and the second 33 lives , had lost their own , in the discharge of their duty on the night of the 23 rd January last , whilst in their boat ,
endeavouring to rescue the crew of a vessel in distress , leaving their families , consisting respectivel y of a widow and six children and a widow and three children , entirely destitute . " He might add that a small local collection had been set on foot at Clacton-on-Sea , to which the Most Worshipful
Grand Master had subscribed personally , and the National Lifeboat Institution had given £ 450 to the two families . The Most Worshipful Grand Master on Tuesday presented
medals to the crew of the boat , and he ( the Earl of Lathom ) had no doubt that brethren would see with His Boyal Highness that these sums would be worthily bestowed .
Bro . Raynhara W . Stewart , in seconding the motion said ho wanted to know , and he thought a little information shonld be given to Grand Lodge on one point with regard to the Albert Edward lifeboat being put out to its proper service . He lately went down to Clacton-on-sea , and was
told , without having made an enquiry , that the boat went out that Wednesday about four o ' clock . The lifeboat went , but they did not see it come back , as it was taken down to Sheeniess . If a wreck had taken place that night at
Clacton there was no lifeboat there , she had gone on towage service . A little intimation should be given by Grand Secretary to the men in charge that the boat should be used for the purpose of saving life only . The motion was carried .
The grants recommended by the Board of Benevolence , as printed by us last week , were confirmed-The report of the Board of General Purposes was adopted ; as likewise was the report of Brother . R . P . Harding , Auditor of Grand Lodge accounts . Grand
Secretary next read the application from a body styling itself " The Grand Lodge of Victoria , Australia , " requesting their recognition by the United Grand Lodge of England as a regular Grand Lodge , which application was refused .

conduct of Bro . Christopher J . W . Griffiths , of the same Lodge in the same matter , was dismissed . In the absence of Bro . Col . Creaton , Bro . Pierce P . G . D . proposed that Grand Lodere vote £ 70 from the Fund of General
Purposes to supply the residents of the Institution at Croydon with coals during the winter season . Grand Lodge was then closed .
