A MASON is obliged, by his tenure, to obey the moral law; and if he rightly understand the art he will never be a stupid atheist nor an irreligious liber- tine. He, of all men, should best understand that GOD seeth not as man seeth ; for man looketh at the outward appearance, but GOD looketh to the heart. A mason is, therefore, particularly bound never to act against the dictates of his conscience. Let a man's religion or mode of worship be what it may, he is not excluded from the order, provided he believe in the glorious architect of heaven and earth, and practise the sacred duties of morality. Masons unite with the virtuous of every persuasion in the firm and pleasing bond of fraternal love ; they are taught to view the errors of mankind with compassion, and to strive, by the purity of their own conduct, to demonstrate the superior excellence of the faith they may profess. Thus masonry is the centre of union between good b2 40 men and true, and the happy means of conciliating friendship amongst those who must otherwise have re- mained at a perpetual distance. II. — Of the Civil Magistrate, Suprenne and Subor- , . ' dinate. A MASON is a peaceable subject to the civil powers, wherever he resides or works, and is never to be con- cerned in plots and conspiracies against the peace and welfare of the nation, nor to behave himself unduti- fully to inferior magistrates. He is cheerfully to con- form to every lawful authority ; to uphold, on every occasion, the interest of the community, and zealously promote the prosperity of his own country. Masonry has ever flourished in times of peace and been always injured by war, bloodshed, and confusion ; so that kings and princes, in every age, have been much dis- posed to encourage the craftsmen on account of their peaceablcness and loyalty, whereby they practically answer the cavils of their adversaries and promote the honour of the fraternity. Craftsmen are bound by peculiar tics to promote peace, cultivate harmony, and live in concord and brotherly love. III.— Of Lodges, A LODGE is a place where freemasons assemble to work and to instruct and improve themselve>s in the mysteries of their ancient science. In an extended sense it applies to persons as well as to place ; hence every regular assembly or duly organized meeting of masons is called a lodge. Every brother ought to belong to some lodge and be subject to its by-laws and the general regulations of the craft. A lodge may be either general or particular, as will be best understood by attending it, and there a knowledge of the estab- lished usages and customs of the craft is alone to be acquired. From ancient times no master or fellow could be absent from his lodge, especially when warned to appear at it, without incurring a severe censure, un- less it appeared to the master and wardens that pure necessity hindered him. The persons made masons or admitted members of a lodge must be good and true men, free born, and of mature and discreet age and sound judgment, no bondmen, no women, no immoral or scandalous men, but of good report. IV. — Of Masters, Wardens, Fellows, and Apprentices. All preferment among masons is grounded upon real worth and personal merit only ; that so the lords may be well served, the brethren not put to shame, nor the royal craft despised ; therefore no master or warden is chosen by seniority, but for his merit. It is impossible to describe these things in writing, and therefore every brother must attend in his place, and learn them in a way peculiar to this fraternity. Can- didates may, nevertheless, know, that no master should take an apprentice, unless he has sufficient employment for him ; and, unless he be a perfect youth, having no maim or defect in his body, that may render him incapable of learning the art, of serving his master's lord, or of being made a brother, and then a V- 42 fellow-craft in due time, after lie has served such a term of years as the custom of the country directs ; and that he should be descended of honest parents ; that so, when otherwise qualified, he may arrive to the honour of being the warden, and then the master of the lodge, the grand warden, and at length the grand master of all the lodges according to his merit. No brother can be a warden until he has passed the part of a fellow-craft, nor a master until he has acted as a warden, nor grand warden until he has been master of a lodge, nor grand master unless he has been a fellow-craft before his election, who is also to be nobly born, or a gentleman of the best fashion, or some eminent scholar, or some curious architect, or other artist descended of honest parents, and who is of singularly great merit in the opinion of the lodges. And for the better, and easier, and more honourable discharge of his office, the grand master has a power to choose his own deputy grand master, who must then be, or have formerly been, the master of a particular lodge, and who has the privilege of acting whatever the grand master, his principal, should act, unless the said principal be preseat, or interpose his authority by letter. These rulers and governors supreme and subordi- nate, of the antient lodge, are to be obeyed in their respective stations by all the brethren, according to the old charges and regulations, with all humility, reverence, love, and alacrity. N. B. — hi antient times no brother however shilhd in the crafty was called a master-mason until he had hem elected into the chair of a lodge. 43 . V. — Of the Management of the Craft in Working. • All masons shall work honestly on working days, that they may live creditably on holy days ; and tho time appointed by the law of the land, or confirmed .by custom, shall be observed. The most expert of the fellow-craftsmen -^hall bo chosen or appointed the master, or overseer of the lord's work ; who is to be called master by those that work under him. The craftsmen are to avoid all ill lamruafro and to call each other by no disobliging name, but brother or fellow ; and to behave themselves courteously within and without the lodge. The master, knowing himself to be able of cunning, shall undertake the lord's work as reasonably as possible, and truly dispcnd his goods as if they were his own ; nor to give more wages to any brother or apprentice than he really may deserve. Both the master and the masons receiving their wages, justly, shall be faithful to the lord, and honestly finish their work, whether task or journey ; nor put the work to task that hath been accustomed to journey. None shall discover envy at tiie prosperity of a brother, nor supplant him, or put him out of his work, if he be capable to finish the same ; for no man can finish another's work so much to the lord's profit, unless he be thoroughly acquainted with the designs and draudits of him that began it. When a fellow-craftsman is chosen warden of tho work under the master, he shall be true both to master and fellows, shall carefully oversee the work in the m&ster's absence, to the lord's profit ; and his brethren shall obey him. All masons employed shall meekly receive their wages, without murmuring or mutiny, and not desert the master till the work be finished. A younger brother shall be instructed in working, to prevent spoiling the materials for want of judgment, and for increasing and continuing of brotherly love. All the tools used in working shall be approved by the grand lodge. No labourer shall be employed in the proper work of masonry; nor shall free-masons work with those • that are not free, without an urgent necessity : nor shall they teach labourers and unaccepted masons, as they should teach a brother or fellow. VI. — Of Behaviour, viz. : 1. — IN THE LODGE, WHILE CONSTITUTED. You are not to hold private committees, or separate conversation, without leave from the master, nor to talk of anything impertinently or unseemly, nor interrupt the master or wardens, or any brother speaking to the master; nor behave yourselves ludicrously or jestingly^ while the lodge is engaged in what is serious and solemn ; nor use any unbecoming language upon any pretence whatsoever ; but to pay due reverence to your master, wardens, and fellows, and put them to worship. If any complaint be brought, the brother fbund guilty shall stand to the award and determination of the lodge, who are the proper and competent judges of all such controversies, (unless you carry them by appeal to the grand lodge,) and to whom they ought to be referred, unless a lord's work be hindered the mean- 45 V \9hile, in which case a particular reference may be made ; but you must never go to law about what concerncth masonry, without an absolute necessity apparent to the lodge. 2.— BEHAVIOUR AFTER TIIK LODGE IS OVER, AND THE BRETHREN NOT GONE. You may enjoy yourselves with innocent mirth, treating one another according to ability, but avoiding all excess, or forcing any brother to eat or drink beyond his inclination, or hindering him from going when his occasions call him, or doing or saying anything offensive, or that may forbid an easy and free conver- sation ; for that would blast our harmony, and defeat our laudable purposes. Therefore, no private piques or quarrels must be brought withiu the door of the lodge, far less any quarrels about religion, or nations, or state policy, we being only, as masons, of the universal religion above mentioned ; we are also of all nations, tongues, kindreds, and languages, and are resolved against all politics, as what never yet conduced to the welfare of the lodge, nor ever will. 3. — BEHAVIOUR WHEN BRETHREN MEET WITHOUT STRANGERS, BUT NOT IN A LODGE FORMED. You are to salute one another in a courteous manner as you will be instructed, calling each other brother, freely giving mutual instruction as shall be thought expedient, without being overseen or overheard, and without encroaching upon each other, or derogating from that respect which is due to tiny brother, were he 46 not a mason ; for though all masons are, as brethren, upon the same level, yet masonry takes no honour from a man that he had before ; nay, rather it adds to his honour, especially if he has deserved well of the brother- hood, who must give honour to whom it is due, and avoid ill manners, 4. — BEIIAVIOUn IN PRESENCE OF STRANGERS, NOT MASONS. You shall be cautious in your words and carriage, that the most penetrating stranger shall not be able to discover or find out what is not proper to be intimated; and sometimes you shall divert a discourse, and manage it prudently for the honour of the worshipful fraternity. 5 — BEUAVIOUR AT HOME AND IN YOUR NEIGH- BOURHOOD. You are to act as becomes a moral and wise man ; particularly, not to let your family, friends and neigh- bours know the concerns of the lodge, &c. ; but wisely to consult your own honour, and that of your anticnt brotherhood, for reasons not to be mentioned here. You must also consult your health by not continuing toi2;cther too late or too lonii; from home after lodue hours are past ; and by avoiding of gluttony or drunk- enness, that your families be not neglected or injured nor you disabled from working. - 6. — BEHAVIOUR TOWARDS A STRANGE BROTHER. You are cautiously to examine him in such a method as prudence shall direct you, that you may not be imposed upon by an ignorant falso pretender, whom you are to reject with contempt and derision, and beware of giving him any hints of knowledge. i But if you discover him to bo a true and genuine brother, you are to respect him accordingly ; and if he * is in want you must relieve him if you can, or else direct him how he may be relieved. You must employ him some days, or else recommend him to be employed. But you are not charged to do beyond your ability ; only to prefer a poor brother that is a good man and true before any other poor people in the same circum- stances. Finally. — All these charges you are to observe and also those that shall be communicated to you in another way ; cultivating brotherly love, the foundation and cape-stone, the cement and glory, of this antient fraternity, avoiding all wrangling and quarrelling, all slander and backbiting, nor permitting others to slander any honest brother, but defending his character and doing him all good offices, as far as is consistent with your honour and safety, and no farther. And if any of them do you injury, you must apply to your own or his lodge ; and from thence you may appeal to the grand lodge, at the quarterly communication, as has been the antient laudable conduct of our forefathers, iu every nation ; never taking a legal course but when the case , cannot be otherwise decided, and patiently listening to the honest and friendly advice of master and fellows, ' when they would prevent your going to law with strangers, or would excite you to put a speedy period • to all law-suits, that so you may find the affair of 48 masonry with moro alacrity and success ; but with respect to brothers or fellows at law, the master and brethren should kindly oflfer their mediation, which ought to bo thankfully submitted to by the contending brethren ; and if that submission is impracticable, they must, however, carry on their process, or law-suit, without wrath and rancour, (not in the common way,) saying or doing nothing which may hinder brotherly love and good offices to be renewed and continued, that all may see the benign influence of masonry, as all true masons have done from the beginning of the world, and will do to the end of time.

Until the discontinuance of the rrovincial Grand Lodge, in 1857. it IJaur^^aligc, No. 374 E. R. At a Regular Communication of Saint Paul's Lodc;o, held on the 10th of March, 1874«, on motion of Bro. David R. McCord, J.W., seconded by Bro. J. C. Yates it was resolved : " That V. W. Bro. Ogilvy Moffatt and W. Bros. W. II. Ilutton and G. P. Oirdwood bo apix)inted a committee to revise and superintend tho printing of a new edition of the By-Laws of the Lodge." While carrying out the above resolution, in con- formity with the wishes of the Lodge, your committee have thought that it would not bo uninteresting or unacceptable to the members, if the present edition were accompanied by»some few details, in connection witli tlie past liistory and career of the Lodge. Tho fire which, on the 24th April, 1833, destroyed the jMasonic Hall, where St. Paul's Lodge liad held its meetings for several years, destroyed, at the same time, and without almost any exception, tho old books, records and papers belonging to the Lodge. This waa a very serious loss, as much information, valuable in antiquity, as well as in material, for compiling any his- tory of the Lodge, and extending, no doubt, a long way back, was irretrievably lost. 80 At this distance of time, it is a matter of deep rccrrct that, in view of so great a misfortune, no attempt should have been made at tlie time to repair tlie loss, even in part, by collecting information from old mem- bers of the Lodge alive at that period, and whoso meniory and rccoUeetion of Lodge matters might liavo been made available in rescuing nmch informalion and many facts from oblivion. In the ta^k wliieh your committee have undertaken, this unfortunate omission is very sensibly realized, and it is with a view to guard against the possibility of such a contingency, iu the future, that they have thought it advisable to give a short history of the Lodge, from such material as they have at hand. The earliest mention of Saint I'aul's liodgo has reached us in a curious manner. tSome tiinc ago, in December, 18C9, through the courtesy of the iMeehanies' Institute of this eity, an old book from the Library of that Institu'.ion, called "Looking unto Jesus,'* came into the possession of the Lodge. This book appears to have been printed in 'Edinburgh, iu 1723, and it bears on its title-page the name of its owner, in his sign manual — Gwyn Owen Iladlbrd, — who was Master of St. Paul's frum December, 1803, to June, 180i. On the inside cover of this book is pasted what would appear to have been part of a summons of St. Paul's Lodge, No. 12, dated Montreal, 8th June, 18 18, and on which is written, apparently in liro. Iladford's handwriting, ** Founded by Lord Abordour's War- rant 17G0." Now Lord Aberdour, (not Abordour), was Grand Master of England from 18th May, ITbT, 87 to 3rd May, 1702, and, during his term of office, a Provincial Grand Master was appointed to Canada, (see Preston's IMasonry, sec. 10.) This points to the actual existence of St. Paul's Lodge ten years earlier than iti any other record we possess, and, thougli unsup- ported by any other testimony available to us, it is not likely, seeing that a Provincial Grand Master was appointed to Canada, at some period between 1757 and 1702, that this statement would have been put forth, unless it was known to have been the fact and could have been established at that time. While, of course, wo cannot therefore actually sub- stantiate the existence of the Lodge at this early date, incidental circumstances point to its extreme probability. It was a period of great activity in Masonry, which was very flourishing, both in England and abroad, und(?r tho English Constitution ; so much so, as to bo called tho " Golden Era of Free-Masonry." This being so, with a Provincial Grand Master appointed to Canada, there is every reasonable ground for belief that a regularly constituted Lodge, under a Warrant derived from tho Grand Lodge of England, was working in Montreal, then a place of some importance, as far back as 1700, but, whetluT before, or after, its capitulation to tho British Forces, on the 8th September of that year, wo have no means of ascertaining. It is (juite possible, however, that, at this period, a " St. Paul's Lodge" may have been attached to one of the regiments under com- mand of General Amherst, at the capitulation, as some ten or eleven thousand men were here at that time, and CQcamped in and about the neighbourhood of what) X>2 IS now the Boavcr TTall portion of tlio city, and if this were flo, it would, of course, move with t!ie regiment, and so explain the later date of a warrant issued to a "St. Paul's Lodfi^o," with a fixed domicile in the city, the name of which may have been suggested by recollections of the other. In anything, however, which purports to be a history of the Lodge, this portion of itf though it has reached us in a casual manner, and on incidental or indirect tostiuiony only, is nevertheless entitled to a prominent place, and, if it is possible at even this distant period of time, an earnest endeavour should bo made to verify this interesting fact, and place it beyond all doubt. But, that Saint Paul's Lodge was established in Montreal, as early as the year 1770, by warrant dated 8th November, 1770, granted by the II. W. and Hon. John Collins, Provincial Grand Master for Canada, by virtue of a Patxjnt from His Grace the Duke of Beaufort, who was Grand Master of England from 27th April, 1767, until 4th May, 1772, and whi(^]i Patent bore the date of London, 2nd September, 17fi7, admits of no doubt whatever. This Patent or Warrant was in existence in 1831, and was destroyed by fire in April, 18.'J3, and though it has been impracticublo to ascertain the names of the Masters who presided over the Lodge from that year until 1778, the names of those who filled the Chair from that date onwards, and in regular succession, down to the present day, are known and given in previous and the present editions of the By-Laws. The list, up to December, 1830, inclu« sive, was compiled from official documeats existing in 81) 1831, by tho R.W. Bro. D.P.G.M. Frederick Griffin, Q.C., an old Master of St. Paul's, and, from that date down to the proHcnt time, the list is completed from tho existing and regular records of the Lodge. Among tho documents in existence connected with tho Lodge, and which carry it back to 1797, and for whicli we arc indebted to R.W. Bro. D.P.G.M. Griffin, is a copy of tho By-Laws printed in 1814, the preamblo to which, dated Montreal, 18th August, 1797, sets forth that they are the " Rules, Orders and Regulations " which arc to be punctually observed and kept by tho " Frco and Accepted Ancient York Masons of St. " Paul's Lodge, No. 12, held in tho City of Montreal, *' in the Province of Lower Canada ; " — a facsimile of which By-Laws, or one as nearly as can bo given, accompanies tho present edition. Here, it seems neces- sary to remark that the Lodge derived its Charter of 1760, and that of 1770, from the Grand Lodge of England, whose central authority was in London ; and though the Provincial Grand Lodge, which issued tho Warrant to St. Paul's Lodge, in 1770, appears to havo lapsed from some cause now involved in obscurity, yet another Provincial Grand Lodge was established at some period antecedent to 1791, with the R.W. Brother Sir John Johnson, Bart., as Provincial Grand Master, under authority of a Warrant from the Right Hon. Thomas Earl of Effingham, acting G. M. under His Royal Highness Henry Frederick, Duke of Cumber- land, elected Grand Master of England in 1781. And while it is natural to suppose that St. Paul's Lodgo then hailed from that Grand Lodge, we find it work- 90 ing in 1797, under the Gr.incl Lodge of ali En'iland, deemed the Motlicr Lodge of England, and whoso central authority was in the City of York, These bodies were quite distinct in their jurisdiction, and wlioliy inde[ undent of each other; but we have no njeansj now of arriving at the cau.-L'cugc Hiiceiii^f^ have always been most pleasant" gaitherings* Whefd, 'aiOof from the •••»»»"«i»» an a. J a i t' » **• •"* o » ao Oaooad. o"«.*«oo 100 toil and trouble and turmoil of the outer world, many happy hours have been spent, and the associations con- nected with them long remembered and treasured. In her allegiance to tlie Grand Old Mother Lodge of England, St. Paul's Lodge has been true and stead- fast. Amidst the changes which have taken place in the Masonic Jurisdictions of Canada, though a good deal of pressure has been brought to bear upon her to affiliate with the Canada Grand Lod? Hotel, Nortli- East comer of wliat was then Great St. James Street and St, Peter Street, wlicre it remained until the 9th April, 1850. After that date, it removed to Freemasons Hall, erected by the late W. Bro. Moses J. Hays, on the North corner of Notre Dame Street and Dalhousio Sf^aare. The total destruction of this building by fire, in the tremendous conflagration of 8th July, 1852, when some 1,200 houses were burnt, again left St. St. Paul's Lodi^'c without a lodge room. On the 27th October, 1852, its sittings were resumed in the " Zet- land " lodge room. No. 731, E.R., held in Murphy's Hotel, North-East corner of Notre Dame and Cosford Streets, and we find it there until the 10th May, J 853. In the interval between that date and the 8th Novem- ber, 1853, a removal to the "Saint Lawrence Hall" North side of Great St. James Street, took place, and here, for a conthiuous period of about seventeen years, the Lodge remained, its last meeting there having been held on the 10th May, 1870. On the 8th November, 1870, the broLliren assembled in a new lodge room, No. 910, South side of St. Catherine Street, immedi- ately opposite to Christ Church Cathedral, in a building owned by Bro. Jacob Henry Joseph, and continued to meet here until the 13th April, 1875. After that date, the Brethren met, on the 11th May and 9th November, at the " lloyal Albert " Lodge lloom, No. 6, West side of Phillip's Square, and, on the 14th and 27th Decem- ber, 1875, at the Asylum of the Ancient and Accepted Rite, No. 1052, South side of St. Catherine Street, where, on the latter date, the Installation of Officers for 1876 took place. E ■■ . 104 On tho lull January, 1876, the Lodge held its first rciruiar Coininunicutioa in the New Loda;e Iloom, Academy of Music, cast side of Victoria Street, con- structed and completed under the gratuitous superintend- ence of the worthy Brother, John William Hopkins, architect, the banquet on St. John's day, 27th Dec., 1875, having been previously held in the Lodge room. Your Committee having brought the Lodge through its wanderings of more than forty years to its reciting place in 187G, now proceed with its history during that period, as set forth in the recorded proceedings in the several '' Minute books," from which copious extracts of anything that appears noteworthy or in- teresting arc here given : — The earliest extant minutes of the Lodge bear date 14th ^December, 1830; at some period antecedent to this, a Committee had been appointed to revise the By-Laws, but who composed it cannot now be traced. On the I2t7i April, 1831— W. Brothers Frederick Griffin, John Samuel McCord and James Guthrie Scott were appointed to superintend the printing. Note. — To this edition of the ByLaws was first appended that portion of the Constitution regulating Private Lodges, 15if/t Scptcnihtr, 1831 — The Lodge took part in the proceedings attending the laying of the corner stone of the " Richardson Wing " of the Mon- treal General Hospital, with Masonic ceremonies, by the Provincial Grand Lodge. 105 lith Fehniarif, 1832 — Wc find on record in the minutes of this date, that this Lodi^c sanctioned the payment of £28 Gs. 6d. Hx. currency, for a Quarter Cask of Madeira wine. This points to the Lodge having somewhat of a " wine cellar " of its own in those " far off " days. Julj/ and August, 1832 — The meetings of the Lodge were suspended during these months owing to the prevalence of Asiatic cholera. OtJi Odohrr, 1832 — The address presented by the Lodge to V.W. Bro. and P.G. Chaplain the Rev. Brook Bridges Stevens, on his departure for England, with his reply thereto, are recorded at full length in the minutes of this date. This eminent divine, and most worthy and zealous mason, was well known and respected throughout Canada. QtJi April, 1833 — A letter is recorded at full length in the minutes of this date from the V. W. Bro. P.M. W. Badgley, dated '* Kensington, 1st Feb., 1833,'' respecting the contemplated action of the Grand Lodge of England against St. Paul's and other Lodges in Canada, for alleged irregulari- ties and contraventions of the Constitution, and the omission to furnish regular returns and dues of members. The Lod^e is counselled to take immediate action in the matter and rectify all errors and omissions. 9th Maj/, 1833 — The destruction, by fire, on the 24th April, of the Masonic Hall and St. Paul's Lodge room, with all the principal books, records, papers and regalia, o£[icially announced in Lodge to-day. 106 lOtJi Spptemher, 1833 — Tlie Lodge resolved tliat a petition be sent to' the Provincial Grand Master, praying that, in view of the loss of the warrant of the Lodge by lire, in April last, he would be pleased to procure a duplicate warrant from the M. W. Grand Master of England. Sth October, 1833 — A vote of thanks was unanimously accorded to the St. George's Lodge of this city, for tlje ready and fraternal manner in which they placed their Lodge room at the disposal of this Lodge after the destruction of the Masonic Hall by fire. llth Fthruari/, 1834 — The receipt of the insurance on Lodge property destroyed by fire last April, say £200 llx. currency, was announced in Lodge to- night. * ]2th Augusl, 1834 — Owing to the prevalence of Asiatic cholera, the reirular meetin^r of the Lodge was not held this month. ^tli ^q)temher, 1834 — The jewels, collars and aprons, ordered from England, in March last, were pro- duced in Lodge to-night, and it was resolved, " that a proper apron be assigned to each chair, '' and be marked with the name of the officer, for " the use of the officers for the time being." I4ith October, 1834 — It was resolved that the By- Laws be copied into a book, to be provided for that purpose, and that each member do sign the same. 107 lltJh Novcmlcr, 1834— V. W. Bro. P. M. Badj^ley laid OH the tablo a charter, wliieh he had procured when in England, for a Chapter of Royal Arch Masons to be attached to the Lodge. dth December, ISSi — The Lodge resolved to adopt and act upon the charter obtained from the Grand Chapter of England, for a Chapter of Royal Arch Masons to be attached to the Lodge. Note. — From some unexplained cause, the Chapter was not opened until the 15th October, 184u. lOtJi March, 1835 — The regular meeting of the Lodge was not held to-night, as there were too few mem- bers present to open it. 12th May, 1S35 — It was resolved, that from and after this date, the hour of meeting be fixed at 3 P.M., and that the rcgul; meetings of the Lodge be held only in the months of November, December, January, February, March and April. Note. — Up to this date, the Lodge appears to have met for regular business in each month of the year at 7 P.M. from the autumnal to the vernal equinox, and at 8 P.M. from the vernal to the autumnal equinox. \2th May, 1835— V. W, Bro. Badgley submitted to the Lodge, for transmission to the Grand Lodge of England, a list of members of the Lodge from 1826 to 1834- inclusive. Note.—^QQ 9th April, 1833. The delay arose from the confusion and derangement caused by 10ft the dc?ti'uction of the records of the Lodge on 24th April, 1833. 8^/i December, 1835 — A letter from the St. George's Lodge of this city, No. 643 E. 11., and signed " John Cliff, Secretary," was read in Lodge to-day and ordered to be recorded at length in the minutes. It gratefully acknowlodged'rcceipt of a gavel and S.W. and J.W. columns, p.e.sented to that Lodge by St. Paul's Lodge in thankful recog- nition of their fraternal kindness in placing their Lodge Room at the disposal of the St. Paul's Lodge after the fire at Masonic Hall, in April, 1833. ^th Fcbruanj, 1S3G — The address of condolence sent, by resolution of this Lodge, to the family of the late R.W. 13ro. the Hon.

Valentine and Bro. the Hon. Captain Cadogan, G.G., were appointed a Committee to meet a Committee of the St. George's Lodge, of this city, with a view to the re-establishment of the Provincial Grand Ijodge for the district of Mon- treal and William Henry. Note. — Nothing resulted from the appointment of the Committee, and it was only on the 10th Feb., 184G, that energetic action had a successful result. Uth Fehruari/, 18-10— V. W. Bro. Griffin reported the By-Laws re-printed in accordance with a resolution of the Lodge appointing him to take the matter in hand. 10^7i March, 1840— Y.W. Bro. Badgley, W.M., was requested to renew the application to the M.W. the Grand Master of England, for a duplicate warrant of the Lodge to replace the one lost by fire iu April, 1833. no Note. — The Lodge had taken action in this matter on the 10th September, 1833, but without any result. 13/^ June, 1843 — The Committee on Lodt^Januarj/, 1871 — The Installation of the Worship- ful Master and Officers of the Lodge for the cur- rent year, took place, by dispensation, at this meeting. The R.W. Bro. Badgley, P. G.

S'C, &c., the Most Wor* shipfid Grand Master of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of England : The Petition of the Saint Paul's Lodge, at the City of Montreal, Number 374 on the Registry of England, very respectfully sheweth : — That Saint Paul's Lodge was established at Montreal in 1770, under that name, by Warrant dated the eighth of November of that year, during the Pro- vincial Grand Mastership for Canada of the late Honorable John Collins, acting as such by virtue of his Patent of Deputation, dated at London, on the second day of September, 1767, and granted by His Grace the Duke of Beaufort, Grand Master of England. That, from the establishment of the Lodge at Montreal to the present time, it has been in constant and uninterrupted connection with English Masonry in England, and has attained a Masonic existence in that connection of upwards of a hundred years. From the destruction by fire of the Lodge room and premises, in 1833, with the original minute books, charters, records, and muniments of the Lodge, Your Petitioners have been compelled to trace and prove the centennial existence of their Lodge, in some particulars^ in the absence of the original documents so destroyed, by such secondary and -derivative evidence within reach, 208 which had been collected for the use of the Lod^o many years since and derived from the original records by Lodge Committees and Members who had accoiis to them before their destruction, and, of course, without any possible view to the subject of this Petition. That evidence, with the proof of known circumstances rela- ting to the Lodge, has been embodied in a summary statement attached hereto, for convenience of reference, and to which a favourable consideration is very respectfully requested. Your Petitioners therefore pray that the Centen- nial existence of the Saint Paul's Lodge, in connection with English Masonry in England, may be recognized and admitted, and that permission may be granted to the Lodge to have and wear the Centennial Jewel pro- vided in the Regulations therefor in the Book of Constitutions of the Grand Lodge of England. For the Saint Paul's Lodge, No. 374, E.R. FRANK BOND, W, M, Montreal, 2nd October, 1876. 209 Pedigree Statement re/erred to in the accompanying Petition of Saint PauVs Lodge, Montreal, for the Centennial Jewel : The following references are confined as closely as possible to facts and circumstances connecting the Lodge with English Masonry in England, for a period of more than a hundred years. In September^ 1759, Quebec capitulated to the British Troops. In September, 1760, Montreal also capitulated. la Fehruari/, 1763, The Treaty of Peace of Paris ceded to Great Britain all the French possessions in North Americaj including Canada, which became an English Colony, known as the Province of Quebec. In the interval, between the Capitulation of Montreal in 'GO, and the Cession of '63, the conquered country was under military subjection j but Preston reports that In Mai/, 1762, the Masonic connection of Canada and England was commenced by the appointment of a Provincial Grand Master for Canada, by Lord Aberdour, Grand Master of England. This report does not appear to be quite correct, because, in a book upon Masonry, published at London, in 1767, by Calcott, P. M. almost con- temporaneously with the date of Preston's reported appointment, and dedicated, by permission, to His Grace of Beaufort, Grand Master of England, Lists are given, with dates, from 1721 to 1767, 210 both inclusive, of the Grand Masters of England, and of their Deputations by Patent to Provincial Grand Masters, from which it appears that From 1758 to '60, Lord Aberdour was Grand Master, and From 1761 to '02, Lord Carysfort was his successor, followed, In 1763, by Earl Ferrers, who was succeeded, In 176-1 to '65, — probably to '66, — by Lord Blayney, by whom the first reported Patent of Deputation as Provincial Grand Master for Canada, is men- tioned as granted tr Millbourne West, Esq. ; From 1767 to '72, His Grace the Duke of Beaufort was Grand Master, who gave a Patent of Depu- tation, dated the 2nd September, 1767, as Pro- vincial Grand Master for Canada, to the Hon- ourable John Collins, at the City of Quebec, a Member of the Provincial Council for Canada. . ^ Preston's error, if it be one, is immaterial, because the early connection of Canada with English Masonry is sufficiently indicated, whether in 1762 or 1764. From 1781 to '88, the Duke of Cumberland was Grand Master, with the Earl of Effingham, Acting Grand Master, in the Duke's absence, by whom a Patent of Deputation, dated 5th May, 1788, was granted to Sir John Johnson, Baronet, of Montreal, as Provincial Grand Master for Canada, to replace the Hon. John Collins, previously deceased. It will be noticed that the above Deputations, including the last granted, in 1788, covered the 211 entire of Canada, known as the Province of Quebec; but, by the Imperial Statute, 31 Geo. III., ch. 31, Canada, the Province of Quebec, was divided into two distinct Provinces, Lower Can- ada and Upper Canada, and their separation in name and territorial and political existence was immediately effected, whereby the Province of Quebec, as Canada, ceased to exist ; and Sir John - Johnson's Patent does not appear to have been exercised after 1791. In 1792, His R. H. Prince Edward, (the Duke of Kent,) arrived at Quebec, on military duty, from Halifax, Nova Scotia, where he had been installed as Provincial Grand Master of Nova Scotia, and, on the 22nd of June, 1792, he was duly installed at Quebec, as Provincial Grand Master for Loioer Canada, and held the office until succeeded. In 1797, by the Honourable Claude Denechau, Mem- ber of the Provincial Parliament for Lower Canada, who was appointed Provincial Grand Master for Lower Canada, under Patent from English authority. ^ " From the time of the Provincial Grand Master- ship for Lower Canada of H.R.H. Prince Edward, connected with the Grand Lodge at York, or Ancient York Masons, the Lodges in Lower Canada, until 1823, were known as Ancient York Masona, which title is established by sufficient records of evidence, and, amongst others, by the following : — 212 Isfc. — In 1797. — By a printed copy of the By-Laws of Saint Paul's Lodge, with the heading thereto, dated at " Montreal, 18th of August, 1797, Rules,. " Orders and Regulations which are to be punc- " tually observed and kept by the Free and " Accepted Ancient York Masons of Saint Paul's " Lodge, No. 12, held in the City of Montreal, in *' the Province of Lower Canada," viz : " "Whereas, the Brethren of the said Lodge " being duly Congregated, and installed, according " to the ancient constitution of Masonry, granted "by Prince Edward, at the city of York, in the " Kingdom of England, in the year of our Lord " 926 ; and in the year of Masonry 4926 — and " now under the patronage of His Royal Highness " Prince Edward, of the Kingdom of Great " Britain, as will more fully and at large appear, " by having reference to a certain Warrant, No. " 12, deposited, and actually beiug in the said " Lodge, issued by the Right "Worshipful Master, ""Wardens and Secretary, of the Grand Lodge of " Canada, held in the City of Quebec, in the " Province of Lower Canada, aforesaid, dated the " first day of May, in the year of our Lord, 1797, " and in the year of Masonry, 5797, by virtue of " which said warrant, the "Worshipful Master and " Wardens, therein named, are duly authorized, " empowered, constituted, and appointed to hold " a Lodge, convene the Brethren, and further to " do and perform all matters and things concern- *' ing, or in any wise appertaining to the same, 213 " according to the custom of Free and Accepted '' Ancient York Masons of England.

Among the toasts given, the second was : " His Royal Highness, Edward Duke of Kent, late Provincial Grand Master for Lower Canada," and the third following toast was: "The Hon. Claude Denechau, Member of Parliament, Grand Master of the Ancient and Honourable Fraternity of Free and Accepted Masons of Lower Canada." On the last page of the pamphlet was printed a list of the Officers of the 6rra>' uodge of Longer Canada, according to the Ancient Constitutions, (York Masons,) with the above named Provincial Grand Master as such official. 27th December, 1813. — On that Festival Day, Recon- ciliation was made between the two Grand Lodges of York and London, in England, by their respective Grand Masters, their Royal Highnesses of Kent and Sussex, by which the present United Grand Lodge of England was established, which merged under its supreme authority all the private Lodges in connection with the late two Grand Lodges, including, of course, among others, the Lodges in Lower Canada. No immediate change was made in the Lodges ; but irritation prevailing among the Fraternity in general, from the Grand Lodge of Lower Canada, at Quebec, being composed of members residing at Quebec exclusively, or its more accessible neighbourhood, by reason of the difficulty of col- lecting at that City the representatives of Lodges 215 from Montreal and ether places distant from Que- bec, and thereby localizing the membership of tho Grand Lodge there, an opportunity having been presented for removing the annoyance, it was adopted by the Grand Master, H.R.H. the Duko of Sussex, by dividing Lower Canada into two separate Masonic Provinces, named respectively, Quebec and Thfee Rivers, and Montreal and WilUniii Henry, with a Provincial Grand Master for each, for whom In 1823, Patents of Deputation were issued on tho 2nd April of that year, by His R. H. the Grand Master, by which the Honorable Claude Denechnu of Quebec, late Provincial Grand Master for Lower Canada, was continued as Provincial Grand Master for the First Division, and the Honourable William McGillivray, of Montreal, was appointed Provincial Grand Master for the Second Division. 1823. At a Provincial Grand Lodge for Lower Canada, held at Quebec on the 27th of August, the Pro- vincial Grand Master, Denechau, informed his Grand Lodge of his receipt of his Patent of Provincial Grand Master for Quebec and Three Rivers, bearing the same date as his former one, 1797, accompanied by an official communication from H. R. H. the Grand Master, giving the reasons for dividino- the Provincial Grand Lodae of Lower Canada into two Districts, named as above, with a Provincial Grand Master for each respectively. '216 . On the 8th of October, 1823, the Installation of the Hon. W. MacGillivray as Provincial Grand Master for Montreal and William Henry, was eflFected at Montreal, by the Provincial Grand Master Denechau and the Brethren of the Pro- vincial Grand Lodge of Quebec, assisted by the R. W. Henry Lewis, Provincial Grand Master for Sumatra, then at Montreal. The Provincial Grand Master MacGillivray died in 1825, and was succeeded, in 1826, by the late Honourable John Molson, a former W. M. of Saint Paul's Lodge, whose patent of Deputation, dated 5th September,' 1826 was issued by H. R. H. the M. W. Grand Master, the Duke of Sussex. After the death of Provincial Grand Master Molson, in 1836, his Deputy Provincial Grand Master Penn held an acting Deputation as Provincial Grand Master, under special authority previously granted to that effect by the Grand Master in England, to con- tinue until a new appointment of Provincial Grand Master should be made ; and it was not until 1846 that the office was filled by the Honourable Peter McGill, of Montreal, who was patented as Provincial Grand Master of Montreal and Wil- liam Henry in thjjt year, and, upon his retire- ment, caused by ill health, in 184'9, he was succeeded by the Honourable William Badgley» who has since continued to be District Grand Master for Montreal and William Henry, under Patent from the Earl of Zetland, M. W. Gr^d Master of England. 217 The English Masonic connection with Canada, from 1767, having been traced, with Canada as the entire Province, through its Divisional Province of Lower Canada and the District subdivisions of the latter, there only remains to be added, in reference to that connection, the fact, that during the entire period, from 1767 to 1856, the time of the self-constitution of the Grand Lodge of Canada, no other supreme Masonic authority, but that in England, has been exercised or recognized here, with two exceptions, the first — in 1847, when the Grand Lodge of Scotland established the Elgin Lodge, at Montreal, still working under its Scotch Warrant ; and the last, in 1848 — when the Grand Lodge of Ireland constituted a Lodge also at Montreal, which has long since become extinct. From the foregoing, it is manifest that all the Provincial Lodges of Canada, and Lower Canada, and the District Divisions of the latter, up to 1856, includ- ing the Saint Paul's Lodge, at Montreal, had a common origin and existence in their English connection in England, which continued undisturbed up to the last mentioned year, subject, since 1813, to the suprence representative of English connection, the United Grand Lodiie of Ensrland. The Provincial Grand Masters of Canada, the Honourable John Collins and Sir John Johnson, assembled and held their Provincial Grand Lodges of Canada, at Quebec, where likewise were held the Pro- vincial Grand Lodges for Lower Canada, under its Provincial Grand Masters, H. R. H. Prince Edward and his successor, the Honourable G.M, Denechau, until 218 1823, when the District Divisions of Quebec and Montreal were effected, with a Provincial Grand Master and Grand Lodge for each, at the Cities of Quebec and Montreal respectively. During all this period, the Provincial Grand Masters from the first, by virtue of their Patents of Deputation, granted Warrants to the Provincial Lodges, constituting them absolutely ex- isting Lodges with full working powers, and registering them as such in their Provincial Registers under fixed numbers, until changed to others afterwards registered by the direction of the Provincial Grand Master, at his Grand Lodge of the time. For example : — Saint Paul's Lodge, at Montreal, in 1770, by Warrant from Provincial Grand Master Collins, registered No. 10 in the Registry of Canada, was changed to 4 in the same registry, by same Provincial Grand Master, John Collins, in 1786, and became 12 in the Registry of Lower Canada, in 1797, under the patronage of the Duke of Kent, and so continued until 1823, when the division of Lower Canada into Quebec and Montreal was made. At that time. Saint Paul's Lodge, No. 12, Lower Canada Registry, surrendered its old Warrant of 1797 to the Provincial Grand Master of Montreal, acting under Deputation from the Grand Master in England, who required the Provincial Lodge Warrants to be given up, for replacement by new Warrants from England, the Lodges continuing their working under Provincial Dispensations. In 1824, when Saint Paul's Lodge received its English Warrant, registered 782 in England, it was number 3 on the Montreal Register. This English Warrant was destroyed by fire with other 219 Lodge records and the Lodge premises at Montreal, in 1833, and renewed by a Duplicate Warrant from England, under the Number 514, English Registry, received by the Lodge in 1846, when its Montreal Register number was 1. In 1863 the English num- ber was again changed to 374, which has not since been altered. As already stated, Saint Paul's Lodge was con- stituted at Montreal, absolutely, as a full working Registered Lodge, by Warrant dated on the 8th of November, 1770, by the Hon. John Collins, the Pro- vincial Grand Master of Canada, acting under his Patent of Deputation as such from His Grace of Beaufort, dated at London, on the 2n(i of September, 1767. The Lodge Warrant set forth the supreme authority under whose Deputation the Provincial Grand Master constituted the Lodge, and was in ex- istence and seen and examined, with other Lod<2e records, in 183T, by a Committee of the Lodge, appointed some considerable time previously to revise and remodel the Lodge Bye-Laws, as they had remained from their renewal and revision in 1797. The committee was composed of Bro. Scott, the Lodge Secretary, and of W. Bros. John Samuel McCord and Frederick Grifl&n, the two latter Masters of the Lodge in 1825 and 1830 respectively, and afterwards most esteemed and respected Deputy Pro- vincial Grand Masters for Montreal and William Henry. Of these, the R. W. Bro. Griflfin alone sur- vives, a man and Mason of the most perfect truth and integrity, who still holds oflfice in- the Craft as Deputy 220 Difitriot Grand Master of Montreal. In the perform- ance of their duty, the old Lodge records and minutes of proceedings, with official Lodge documents, were examined with scrupulous care, in 1831, and amongst these the original Constituting Warrant of Saint Paul's Lodge at Montreal, dated the 8th November, 1770, under the Hand and Seal of the Provincial Grand Master Collins, wherein he records his acting Patent of Deputatica from His Grace of Beaufort, dated at London, on the 2nd of September, 1767. These particu lars were noted by the Committee in 1831 as especially interesting facts for the information of the Lodge ; and, at the same time, a list of the Masters of the Lodge, by name and in order of date, was compiled, from the official Lodge documents then existing, by R. W. Bro. Griffin himself, which was received and adopted by the Lodge, with the reported revised By-Laws, and has always subsequently been printed with them as an authentic record of Saint Paul's Lodge. From the want of the minute books of proceedings and of Lodge records for the first few years after 1770, the list of Masters, in date, only commences in 1778, with the name of the Master for that year, and with that of the preceding Master ; but the break during that in- terval is capable of explanation. The political troubles raised in the American Provinces by the Imperial Stamp Act of 1765, and by the subsequent legislation in Great Britain, are matters of history, and became so intense, after 1770, in the British American Provinces adjoining the British recently conquered Province of Canada, that they used 221 every endeavour to rouse inimical popular feeling io the latter, taking advantage of the jealousies created in Canada between the two races in the Colony, excited by the Imperial Act of 1774, called the Quebec Act, which was treated by the British Colonists as making the Colony as much French as before the Conquest. The American Provincialists seized this occasion to induce the Canadian Colonists to send delegates to the Philadelphia Congress of that year ; but, failing in that object, soon after the Independence Declaration of Congress, the Provincialists invaded Canada, in 1774, and captured Montreal^ with outlying posts, which they held until lato in 177G, when, having been defeated at Quebec, they finally evacuated the country. It is not likely that Lodge Meetings would be at all regular, or even kept up at all, whilst Montreal was held by the hostile Provincialists, the more so, as its British citizens had been drafted to Queteo during that time for the defence of that city. It is no error to assume, that after the organization of the Lodge, at the end of 1770, the minutes of its subsequent pro- ceeding.", until the return of tranquility, in 1777 or 1778, when the records recommenced, should have been cither lost or mislaid during the confusion of thoso previous years. But, even the suspension of Lodge meetings during the interval mentioned of the hostile disturbances, could not annul the original Warrant of the Lodge of 1770, and, without actual proof of its annulment, the Warrant plainly continued to exist, as shewn by the record of Lodge Masters certainly from 1778, and it may be in an earlier year, and continued OO'J to tho present time. The coiupileJ list ruiv^es from 1778 to 1831, both inclusive, and its regular com- pletion afterwards can admit of no just dispute. Tlio list as given, substantiated by the assurances vouched by its actual compiler, is really an authentic Lodge document of evidence of ancient Lodge facts in support of the Lodge pedigree, and is here inserted at length, for reference thereto, with its introductory heading; the whole as follows : — Xi IS T or THE MASTERS OF ST. PAUL'S LODGE MONTREAL, C. E. Note.'— Sit. rauls Lodge was first established in Montioal by Warrant dated 8tli November, 1770, granted by the R. W. and Hon. John Collins, P. G. M. for Canada, by virtue of a Patent from His Grace, Henry, Duke of Beaufort, M.AV. Grand Master of England, and continued to work under tbat Warrant until 1797, when a new one was granted, according to the customs of Free and Accepted Ancient York Masons, by the Grand Lodge of Canada, under tho patronage of H.R.H. Prince Edward, afterwards Duke of Kent, who was installed Grand Master of Canada, at Quebec, 22nd June, 1792. The Register of proceedings of the first seven years could not be found : the following list, therefore, begins with the election in December, 1778, at which time Robert Gordon was Master. ^0. 10— ^tfiijestcr x>f Csinaba.

It will be observed that the list of Masters gives those Officers as successive Masters from year to year, as Masters of the same Saint Paul's Lodge, at Mon- treal, under its several numbers in the Provincial Registers, during the years of its existence up to 1831^ 225 in several cases carrying the Masters from one Pro- vincial number to another, of the Lodge, connecting the Saint Paul's of 1831 of the English Registry as 782, with the same Lodge under its Provincial Regis- tered numbers, and, in the same manner, extending the Lodge from 1831 through subsequent years to the present time. For instance : — Busby is set down as Master of No. 10 in 1779 and 1784, and of No. 4 in 1794; Noel was Master of No. 10 in 1782 and 1783, and the first Master of 4, in 1786, and again in 1790. Marsteller, of 10, in 1785, was also of 4 in 1788. So Thomas J. Sullivan, of 4, in 1796, was first Master of 12, in 1797. So Molson was Master of 4, in 1791, and again in 1795. He became Provincial Grand Master of Montreal and William Henry, and, as a con- tributing member of his old continuing Saint Paul's Lodge, he referred to his previous Masterships of the Lodge, in 1791 and 1795. So the Greatwood tomb- stone proved his Mastership in 1803 of No. 12, as stated in the list ; and so, afterwards, Penn. was Mas- ter of 12, in 1820, and of 3, in 1823, and '27, and '31. So McCord, Master of 3, in 1825, and in '41 and '44. So Badgley, of 3, in 1828, and afterwards in 1835 and '36, and in 1842 and '43. It is impossible to attempt even to set aside these connecting links which have bound together around the same identity, the Saint Paul's Lodge, at Montreal, of 1770, with that of 1831 j its continued existence from that last year admitting of no possible dispute. The following are added as corroborative in cer- tain particulars of the above statement : — 226 1. Extract from a memorandum oa the state of Masonry in the District of Montreal, dated in Dec, 1845^ by the late Hon. Mr. Justice McCord, previously Past Master of Saint Paul's Lodge, No. 782, English Kegister, Past Provincial Grand Secretary, and Pro- vincial Deputy Grand Master of Montreal and William Henry. The writer, after expressing " his regret at the " paucity of information which he is able to communi- " cate, from the destruction of the old records by fire, "at the Masonic Hall, in 1833," adds the following, among other facts, as to the Provincial Grand Master- ship of Hon. John Collins, as above, from 1767. " The oldest documents to which I have had access, " as Grand Secretary, are two Warrants of Constitution, " the first dated at Quebec, 22nd May, 1780, and " signed * John Collins, P.G.M. for Canada,' countcr- " signed by Thomas Aylwin, D.P.G.M., and James *'• Tanswell, P. G. Sec, constituting St. Peter's Lodge, " No. 4, on the Registry at Quebec, to be held at " Montreal, and naming its members, the last named "being Thomas McCord, the writer's father." The Judge adds : — " that by an indorsation on the Warrant " signed by Tanswell, as Secretary, it would appear " that the Warrant was granted in consequence of the " loss of a former one, which of course bore a more " ancient date. In the preamble of the Warrant, it ** states that it was so granted in consequence of " authority to that effect given under a Patent from *' His Grace Henry Somerset, Duke of Beaufort, as 227 " Grand blaster of Masons in England, dated at Lon- " don, the 2nd of September, 1767. This, then, was '* the first Provincial Grand Lodge in Canada, and " had subordinate Lodges, as by its Registry Number?, " under its jurisdiction, which extended over all *< Canada." 2. The Provincial Grand Mastership of Sir John Johnson, Baronet, from 1788. " The second Warrant of Constitution, above ''referred to, is dated at Montreal, the 18th March, *' 1791, constituting St. John's Lodge of Friendship, " No. 11, Canada Register. It is granted by Sir John " Johnson, Bart., Provincial Grand Master for Canada, " and is countersigned by Thomas McCord, as Proviu- *' cial Grand Secretary, (the writer's father). It is '' founded on authority of a Warrant from the Right " Honourable Thomas Earlof Efl&ngham, acting Grand " Master under His Royal Highness Henry Frederick, " Duke of Cumberland, Grand Master of England, '' d ited 5th May, 1788. Thus, we find another Grand " Lodge constituted about 20 years after the first, in '' 1767." The writer then refers to the division of Lower Canada into the Districts of Quebec and Montreal, and the Installation, in 1823, at Montreal, of the P.G.M McGillivray, for Montreal, — and then gives an ofiicial list of 12 Lodges then working and in existence in the Montreal District, among them three only in the City of Montreal : " Union Lodge," " Saint Paul's Lodge," " Wellington Persevering Lodge," which Lodges, with six others in the country, immediately sent in their 228 Warrants, aud received Dispensations to work from the P.G.M. until new Warrants should be forwarded to them from England. The writer then mentions the erection by John Molson, Esquire, afterwards a Member of the Honour- able Legislative Council of Lower Canada, and an old Past Master of Saint Paid^s Lodge, No. 4, Canada Register, of the Masonic Hall, at Montreal, with a part set aside for the use of the Craft ; and, after dedication, in 1825, to Masonic purposes, in presence of the three City Lodges above named, the Masonic portion of the building was occupied by Saint Paul's Lodge until the destruction by fire of the whole, in 1833. The Judge's assertions above are unquestionable. 3. Extract of a letter, of 2nd May, 1872, from the late W. Bro. George Thompson, of Quebec, a very old member of the Craft there, and member of the Provincial Grand Lodge of Quebec. Until his death, late in 1872, he was in possession of the remaining records of the Provincial Grand Lodge there. The writer says : " I have no minute book of the *' Grand Lodge of Lower Canada, during the last cen- " tury. The first record I have is dated 13th Decem- "ber, 1813, but, from other evidence I have. Saint " Paul's Lodge was warranted about the close of the " last century, by the late Duke of Kent, when Grand " Master of Lower Canada." The writer says : " that *'from excerpts from old minute books of private " Lodges at Quebec, I find that H. R. H. was installed "as Grand Master for Lower Canada on 22nd June, "1792; that in June, 1800, a Brother Earl, from "No. 12, Canadian Ilcgiistry, was a Quebec LuJl::c " visitor, and other visitors arc mentioned from Saint "Paul's, described as from No. 12 — No. 12, Saint " Paul's, and No. 12, Saint Paul's, Montreal. I have " also scon a printed return of the Grand Lodge of " Lower Canada, the Duke of Kent, Grand Master, " dated the Ist January, 1807, addressed to Albion " Lodge, No. 0, Quebec, givinuj a list of Provincial " Registered Lodges, and No. 12 is styled Saint Paul's " Lodge, of Montreal." He finally refers to Provincial < J rand Master Dcnechau's communication to his Grand Lodge of his receipt of the Patent of 1823, as Pro- vincial Grand Master of Quebec and Three Rivers, and of the Grand Master's reasons for the District Divisions of Lower Canada into Quebec and Montreal, and closes with reference to the Installation of the Provincial Grand Master McGillivray, at Montreal, 8th October, 1823, by Provincial Grand Master Dcnechau and the Grand Lodge from Quebec. 4. The introductory Leading of the Saint Paul's Bye-Laws of 18th August,, 1797, after stating the Jiodge connection with the Ancient York Masons, under the patronage of n.R.IL Prince Edward, under their Lodge Warrant No. 12, dated the 1st of May, 1797, from the R.W. Master, Wardens and Secretary of the Grand Lodge of Canada, held in the City ol' Quebec, by virtue of which Warrant, the Lodge wavS to work according to the customs of Free and Accepted Ancient York Masons of England, and the then compiled following Rye-Laws, to be abided jjy the Brethren, in order to encourage, (ic, good order, peace and 230 Unanimity, &c., it is added, '' which vc. earncsllij hope *' may ever he, as they have ever hem, the distinguisli- " ing characteristics of Saint Paurs Lodge,
