at the Office of the Institution , 5 Freemasons' Hall , W . C
The monthly meeting of the Board of Benevolence was held on Wednesday evening , the 20 fch instant , at Freemasons' Hall . Bro . James Brett P . G . P ., Senior Vice President , presided . Bro . G . A . Cottebrnne P . G . P ., Junior Vice President , occupied tho Senior Vice President ' s chair , and
Bro . W . H . Ferryman A . G . P . was called to the chair of Junior Vice President . The brethren first confirmed recommendations at the September meeting , amounting to _ S 180 . There were thirty-two cases on the new list .
A very large majority of these were London cases . The others came from Leyionstone , Stokesley , Keswick , Sidcup , Ncwcastle-on-Tyne , Llanelly , Wakefield , Whitehaven , Feltham , and Teddingfcon . After the opening of the Board , Bro . James Brett said ,
Before proceeding with the business of the evening , he would claim the indnlgence of the brethren for a few moments while he referred to the loss this Board h-id sustained by tho death of its President , the late Bro . Joshua . NIIIID , for he was sure they would 'ill agree with him that it was a loss . Perhaps he ( Bro . James Brett ) was more
licensed than any one else to speak concerning their late brother , because he was his Senior Vice-President , and , he might say , hi * oldest companion , for they had been associated together for very many years . They were made Grand Officers on the same night , many years ago ( 18119 ) , by the late Earl of Zetland ; thoy wero the
first Senior and Junior Vice-Presidents appointed to tho Board of Benevolence when it was ' newly constituted nnd altered , and fchr-y were the two oldest members of tho Board , ffe had been n member since 1857—29 yours aoo this month—and Km . Nuiiu had been t \ member six and twenty years : and from that ; titno to tha time
of his death Brother Nnnn had been a eons ' iinfc . irfc « ndanfc at the Board . The brethren all knew how well and worthily tho lato President performed the duties of his office , fie had hoped that Bro . Nunn would have remained President of the Board at any rate , as long as he ( Bro . Brett ) had the honour of a seat at it ; but
as it happened , that waa not to bo , and tho Great Architect of the Universe had culled him away . Bro . Nunn wnt always a gentleman , and although some inisrht consider that in the office of senior Vice-Pre . sido /; . Lo / . li ^ la hhvo beiv'U uwro liberal than he was as President ; they would a ^ rt-e that ou his appointment as President ho seeui-d
more to feel hia responsibility—a responsibility which was very great , not only upon tho President , but upou every member of the Board , because they wero entrusted with the disposal of thousands , of pounds belonging to the Craft . It was of the more importance , on account of the money belonging to others , that they should
dispense it jealously and carefully , than if it weio their uwu . There hud been oases , as the brethren knew , where the applicants had been able to secure the service of some eminent or eloquent brother , who could net upon the fellings of members of the Board , more w _ p ! eiull y upon young Masters , appearing for the first time at , the Board
and not knowing the working of the Board , aud so larger sums wore obtained than wa _ the case where tbe applicmts had not the advatitape of such suppoit . Tfcmt outfit not to be . Bro . Nunn was s > man who always acted fiuWy , impartially , aud justly , and guarded , as was his duty , the fnndu at tho disposal of the Board to thu best of his
ability . The brethren would all admit that he did it to th"ir satisfaction and to the anti - faction of the Graft . There now remained a duty which the Board oui ^ ht to perform—to puss a vote of condolence with the widow of Bro . Joshua Nunn , and it waa thin which he wn . about to propose for tho brethren ' s aoeepfc-uicv- ; .
ft was a i / reiit loss the Board had suffered by his death , and he would ask in proposing that voto that tho Grand SPCrpr-urr , with hi .-f usual kindness aud threat ability , would express in that vote the extreme regret the Board felt at thoir loss , together with the widow iu her still greater loss .
