Hensley , who , in consequence of receiving news of the death of his b ^ otiher from wounds in the defence of Agra , although present to discharge his duties in Lodge , begged to be excused from partaking in the festivity of the
banquet . The W . M ., in proposing the health of the Officers , thanked them for their ability and attention . The J .

Lodge or Regularity ( No . 108 ) . —The installation of a Brother so well known and so deservedly highly-respected as Bro .

Lodge by the presentation of a handsome P . M . ' s jewel , which the W . M . placed on the breast of Bro .
