Bro. CoLums thought more effort should be used to

incilning high officers, and especially the High Pastor,

Past High Pastor and brethren, that if aver I bad a happy
moment in my life, it is at the present time. On lo 'king
from this platform, and ageing the brethren around nie
that have been workers in this noble institutton fir a

to do all he could for friendly societies at large, and now
he wait placed in that exalt,* position he could war
assure them he would do all in his power to deserve that
DnalfiOn, and merit the t uit placed in hum, and nothing
should be wanted to prove that the newly installed
officers were worthy if the respect shown. It wan a wed.
don which he thought he shocli be worthy to hold;
but be would endeavour to prove by honest work that he
was worthy of their respect. He thanked them for the
kind interest they bard thought proper to chow, and the
trust imposed in the members from Birmingham, and
promised for himself and colleaguea the would be always
ready t o give • true account iif heir servitude. With honest
heads and willing hands, they would in no way di-regard
the work, and be Gelded to thank one and all, and trutted
the time will come when they would receive at their hands
acknowledgment for baying fulfilled the work which they
ihould endeavour ti prove they were worthy e.
(Applause.) Turning to P.H.P. Bonnard', the H.P.
said he trusted that the ribbon which he had thought
proper ti place round his neck will never be tainted by
word, sc., or deed, but would he handed down to those
who follow in an untainted and unblemished c sedition.
He had now the pleasure of placing round his (Bro.
Bourdon's) neck the emblem 4th. A.O. Shepherds. which
was free from spot or blemish. Might be in his declining
years have the satisfaction of knowing that he had done
something for hundred of thousands of his fellow-
creature., and might his children fork upon the ribbon
with pleasure, not for its value, but for the good their
father had done, founded on honesty, truth, and justice.
Now, in the name of this vast assembly, and of the
blopherii above, he presented the raiti,,o.
Pit!'. Housdatt, aldreuing tee Ancient Paster and
brethren, thasked brat very iiinceraly for the kind words
addressed to him. Donna the time theyha I the pleasure
el governing the Ancient Oct. r of Shepherds, they had
not taken a one-saie view, but had given matters their
proper conside- at, in; they sincerely hoped that during the
time the new officers occupied this proud and honourable
position they would carry out their duties, and he knew
they would r. cede aseistence from the worthy Salle,
Bro. Shanicroas. (Applause) Allow him here heartily to
express his thanks to Bro. Seawall:as. P.a. and his son,
Bro. E. B. Shavecrom—(applause)—for the very kind
manner in which they had treated hint Ile had never
worked so hard in Shapherdry before, but now he trusted

this token of their regard as Past High Shepherd,

FILIDAT.

ca;ried

This being the day of parting, the delegate.] mus-
tered in full force. Among those read out as late
yesterday was S. H. Colley amid roars of laughter.
On attempting explanation, he was met with cries of
"Pay up I"

Bro. Bus°was declared he was here at ten minutes
poet nine, and put his ticket in the box. Ifs was also
encouraged in a lively manner to "Pay up I"
The brothers who CUM up with their shillings were
loudly applauded, especially Bro. Caney, who attempted
several times to explain; but the "legion" demanded
the shilling, and nothing bit the shilling, and he got
more applause by paying than by resisting.
The &suasion on 71 was resumed by Bro. RLDLIT,
who had asked that the facts obtained should be
condensed in a form generally intelligible', but this
was perhaps hardly the best time to discuss it. He
apologised for detaining them further, and left it to
their hand,. (Applause.)
The prop)sition was unanimously accepted.

AND IILIEV COMMITTEMS.

The next business was of an exciting cheracter—an
election of five members to form an investigation and
relief committee. Serving on this is one of the dis-
tinctions of the Order, and curie. pay with it.
For the five vacancies eighteen brethren were put in
nomination. The putting of each name to the vote
was an exceedingly iota-eating priceeding. It was not,
strictly speaking, the French method, in which the
lowest the poll is struck off; for every one was at
liberty to stand in for a second, or third ballot if he
thought fit, even if he had polled only a dozen. The
absolute majority—one more than half the delegates
present—carried the candidate straight off at the first
ballot. One, Bro. Tammon was fortunate enough to
get "the absolute" and his election.
In the 2nd Ballot (the favourite candidate in the
first being out of the way), the numberd were higher,
and again a candidate got the absolute, Bro. W,
Wilson. In the 3rd ballot Brother Gerrard was
seccessful, and in the 4th Brother Williams. The
fifth ballot we., taken without effect. Brother Keen
taking 156 and Brother Udall 213. When the latter
nams wee put at the 6th and last ballot 311 votes
were declared in its favour, and the other name was

not put.

The motion was carried.
Bro. M 'Limos said there bad been several votes of
the ham ,ved prior to the one which he had now to
submit, but he did not think that any one of them
would be more heartily cheered than the one which
he would now propose, It waa —" That the
*sob of this womb* were due, and were hereby
given to the retiring Executive Coned'. and the Per-
manent Secretary for their assiduity and seal in the
performance of their respective duties during the past

the motion—their conduct during the week spoke
volumes, and be wee sere they had conducted the
"mamma (luring the past year as they bad done during
this week. He prop seed that tbsh• beet thanks be

but it is an emblem of the good and noble work which
you have done during the twelve months of your
office. (Loud cheers.) You have sir, I believe, for
some years now, worked for the interests of our

conduct during the time I have had the honour of pre-
siding over this great and noble bode. I can assure
you I shall at all times look upon this ribbon

fully preserve it, and I hope when the time shall
come for me to pees away from this world those
whom I leave behind me will take as much care
of the ribbon aa I shall do. (Cheers.) lam very
thankful to you for the many kind exprevions of
good feeling which have pawed between us this week.
I ha'. endeavoured to uphold the dignity of the chair
during the time I have occupied it, and I have been
moat ably supported; and I trust during my future course
In this life I Mall never do anything which will dis-
grace this ribbon and the Ancient Order of Foresters.
(Loud charm) As in the pest so in the future, I will
endeavour to work zealously, sod earnestly, for the
promotion of the interests of our Order, to extend the
number of its C ,urte and Waves* its members

The H.C.R. formally declared the High Court
Meeting deism, and the proceedings ended in another
volley of the "Foresters' fire."
Thus concluded, about four o'clock in the afternoon,
the heavy and important business of the High Court.
Some of the bret.hien immediately left by train for
their homes, while others, evidently determining to
make the mast of their week, remained till Saturday.
