Obituary.
Obituary .
BRO . T . J . SABINE . It is with thc deepest regret we announce the death , somewhat suddenly , ot Bro . T . J . Sabine , of Brighton . He had been ailing since the early part of November , but his death will come as a surprise to his Masoni : friends . The rupture tif a blood vessel during a severe fit of coughing was the immediate cause of death . Bro . Sabine occupied a
prominent position in Brighton as a member of the Town Council , and in many other public and private capacities , but it was as a Freemason , perhaps , that he was most widely known , and in the Craft he gained a singularly proud position . He was P . M . of Lodges Nos . 73 , 1423 , and 1540 , and Prov . S . G . W . of Middlesex . He was a P . Z . in the Royal Arch , and P . M . of Lodge js , of Mark
Master Masons , P . Prov . Secretary of the Mark Masons ot Sussex , and he held office in thc Grand Lodge of the Mark Masons of England . Several times Bro . Sabine filled the post of Steward in connection with the Charities . The Freemason for July 26 th last contained a long and interesting account of the consecration ot a new lodge , the Atlingworth , No . 1821 , at the Royal Pavilion ,
Brighton , which was established by Bro . Sabine , and of which he was elected W . M . In his inaugural remarks , Bro . J . H . Scott , D . P . G . M ., observed that the lodge was called after the Atlingworth Manor . He was pleased to see the honoured Lord of the Manor of Atlingworth , Bro . Somers Clarke , among the petitioners , and heartily wished the lodge every success . It was under the
guidance of an energetic and expert Mason , who knew well how to rule and direct his lodge . To Bro . Sabine he knew it must be a source of pride and gratification to find that , after many difficulties , obstinacy , and opposition , he had at length succeeded in establishing a new lodge at Brighton , and the gratification was , doubtless , enhanced by the fact that the dav of
the accomplishment of his long-cherished wishes was his birthday . He was sure all would join him in wishing Bro . Sabine many happy returns of the day , and a long and prosperous career to his bantling—the Atlingworth Lodge . In the course of his subsequent reply to the toast of his health , Bro . Sabine , who was received with prolonged andjlong-continued applause , said he was well aware he had undertaken an arduous task , though not
for the first time , he having previously been W . M . of thc Chaucer Lodge . He acknowledged the kindness of bis reception from the distinguished band of brothers he was proud to see around him . Bro . Sabine had no family , but leaves a widow to mourn his untimely loss . At the funeral obsequies no doubt a large number of the Brotherhood will embrace the opportunity of paying the last tribute of respect to one who was thoroughly worthy of their esteem .

LIVERPOOL . —William de la More Preceptory ( No . 49 ) . —For the convenience of those resident in and around Liverpool , the head-quarters of this very ancient and very honourable preceptory were removed on the last meeting day ( the 18 th ult . l from the Assembl y Rooms , Bootle , to the Skelmersdale Masonic Hall , Kirkdale , Liverpool , and the change is likely to be in time a
most beneficent one in the interests of th ; well-worked preceptor ) -. There have been several changes in its locale , but now , like Noah ' s dove , it seems to have found a permanent and convenient resting place , and there is every likelihood it will greatly flourish in a quarter where Craft Masonry has long had a secure foundation . The members were summoned for six o ' clock in the evening , and
amongst those present ( the majority putting in a prompt appearance ) were Sir Kni ghts William John , Thomson , E . C ; Reginald Young , P . E . C ; { . W . Ballard , First C . ; A . C .

Obituary .
BRO . T . J . SABINE . It is with thc deepest regret we announce the death , somewhat suddenly , ot Bro . T . J . Sabine , of Brighton . He had been ailing since the early part of November , but his death will come as a surprise to his Masoni : friends . The rupture tif a blood vessel during a severe fit of coughing was the immediate cause of death . Bro . Sabine occupied a
prominent position in Brighton as a member of the Town Council , and in many other public and private capacities , but it was as a Freemason , perhaps , that he was most widely known , and in the Craft he gained a singularly proud position . He was P . M . of Lodges Nos . 73 , 1423 , and 1540 , and Prov . S . G . W . of Middlesex . He was a P . Z . in the Royal Arch , and P . M . of Lodge js , of Mark
Master Masons , P . Prov . Secretary of the Mark Masons ot Sussex , and he held office in thc Grand Lodge of the Mark Masons of England . Several times Bro . Sabine filled the post of Steward in connection with the Charities . The Freemason for July 26 th last contained a long and interesting account of the consecration ot a new lodge , the Atlingworth , No . 1821 , at the Royal Pavilion ,
Brighton , which was established by Bro . Sabine , and of which he was elected W . M . In his inaugural remarks , Bro . J . H . Scott , D . P . G . M ., observed that the lodge was called after the Atlingworth Manor . He was pleased to see the honoured Lord of the Manor of Atlingworth , Bro . Somers Clarke , among the petitioners , and heartily wished the lodge every success . It was under the
guidance of an energetic and expert Mason , who knew well how to rule and direct his lodge . To Bro . Sabine he knew it must be a source of pride and gratification to find that , after many difficulties , obstinacy , and opposition , he had at length succeeded in establishing a new lodge at Brighton , and the gratification was , doubtless , enhanced by the fact that the dav of
the accomplishment of his long-cherished wishes was his birthday . He was sure all would join him in wishing Bro . Sabine many happy returns of the day , and a long and prosperous career to his bantling—the Atlingworth Lodge . In the course of his subsequent reply to the toast of his health , Bro . Sabine , who was received with prolonged andjlong-continued applause , said he was well aware he had undertaken an arduous task , though not
for the first time , he having previously been W . M . of thc Chaucer Lodge . He acknowledged the kindness of bis reception from the distinguished band of brothers he was proud to see around him . Bro . Sabine had no family , but leaves a widow to mourn his untimely loss . At the funeral obsequies no doubt a large number of the Brotherhood will embrace the opportunity of paying the last tribute of respect to one who was thoroughly worthy of their esteem .
