TO THE EDITOR OF THE FKEEMASONS' MONTHLY MAGAZINE . Sir and Brother , —I annex , for your information , copy deliverance of this body , in reference to the charge made against the Bon-Accord Chapter of Aberdeen , in having improperly and illegally issued a Mark Warrant to certain parties in London ; and remain , Sir and Brother , your very obedient servant , WM . G-AYLOR , Gr . S . N . Edinburgh , Sept . 21 , 1855 .
Supreme Grand Royal Arch Chapter of Scotland , Edmbwrgh , September 19 , 1855 . ( Copy referred to E . ) dinburgh , September 19 , 1855 . It having been reported to the Supreme Chapter that no communication had been received from Comp . Rettie , First Principal of the Bon-Accord Chapter , Aberdeen , in answer to their former deliverance calling upon that Chapter to < report that they had withdrawn the Mark Warrant which had been improperly and
illegally issued by them for constituting a Mark Master ' s Lodge in London , * are unanimously of opinion that such conduct infers a want of respect towards this Supreme Body , and a refusal to comply with its decisions . They , therefore ,. as well on account of the irregularity which has been committed , as of this act of disobedience , suspend the said Chapter of Bon-Accord , Aberdeen , from their privileges as a body of E . A . Masons , aye and until such time as effect shall have been given to the order made upon them , and the warrant in question delivered up in order to its being cancelled .
[* The ungrammatical incomprehensibility of the context here would almost bring Lindley Murray and Cobbett from their graves!—Ed . F . M . M . ]
TO THE EDITOR OP THE FREEMASONS MONTHLY MAGAZINE . Sir and Brother , —As a number of Brethren may be misled by a statement lately published by one of the Grand Scribes of the Supreme Chapter of Scotland , that Comp . Jones , P . M . of the London Bon-Accord Mark Master Lodge , is not a member of the Bon Accord Chapter , No . 70 , and that he never received any degree from that source , his name not appearing recorded in the books of the Supreme Chapter , —I beg distinctly to state that he was affiliated into the Bom
Accord Chapter on Sept . 23 rd , 1851 ; and moreover , that his name was sent up to the Supreme Chapter with the dues for recording , Jan . 23 rd , 1852 , for which we hold a receipt signed by the Treasurer of the said Chapter . And still further , to prove the fact , if more is necessary , it appears in the Annual Statement of the Supreme Chapter issued for the years 1851 and 1852 , that the Chapter paid 3 s . for recording the name of a Companion—that companion was Pr . Jones . I make this statement of fact , that Brethren may not bear on their minds a false impression . —I remain , Sir and Brother , yours fraternally ,
James Kettie , P . Z . Chapter , Wo . 70 . Aberdeen , September 15 , 1855 . [ It is evident that if Bro . Rettie ' s statement be correct , of which we have no doubt , the conduct of the Scottish officials ( save the mark !) who received the fee , yet never performed the registration , is most culpable . But , indeed , the whole conduct of that body , as enunciated in this transaction , is disreputable and
unbusinesslike ; and we strongly advise Bro . Gaylor , before he alleges charges of irregularity against the Bon-Accord Lodge , and persecutes it so violently , to render the Supreme Chapter of Scotland a little more dignified , exact , candid , and , last not least , educated as to the style of its public documents , which , judging from the specimen before us , are unworthy of a hedge-school . Those who throw stones should not live in glass-houses , especially where the panes are so remaikably large . —Ed . F . M . M . ]
