C. Rowe, Esq.. responded for the volunteers.
"The Esecutiv• Council" was the neat toast prc-
nosed. In giving it, C. B Parkinson, Pau, remarked

man's absence throttgh indisposition and fatigue. He

' trusted that all the courts in the Sou.h• W....ern

that their proceedings up to that time had beet, DO
summate!, and he was also glad to say that the Court
"Amity" was alsoin a flourishing state. At the close of

rieh to benefit the poor—(laughter). Some time ago he
the Chairman. was on • visit to Netdity A Ishey, where it

the place .4 his grave could be seen. The Foresters of
those days were, however, very different from Dna" of
