whether the implicated Brother be present or not, the
Lodge may proceed to consider and determine it.

ing in favour of the motion, it shall be carried; and

tion is under consideration, to vary the penalty from

a Brother of a Subordinate Lodge has been suspended or expelled, and
appeals from the decision of his Subordinate Lodge, to a State Grand
Lodge, on the ground of " informality or want of fairness," said Grand
Lodge has not the power to grant a new trial, unless informality or
want of fairness be shown on the former trial, or new testimony be dis-
covered. — Resolution, Q. L. U. S., 1846.]

Lodge to install themselves ; and that in cases where the G.M..
D.G.M., or any P.G., duly deputed by the G.M., shall not attend in due
and proper time to install such Officers, that in such coses the P.G.'s of
