Bye-laws had previously been found necessary , and many attempts made to frame them ; but in this year ( Thomas Holmes , Secretary , ) strenuous efforts seem to have been made to have them compiled . On July 4 th , 1849 , they are thus referred to : —

The Lodge , after a short lecture , was duly closed after the negligence attending the delay of writing ont our Bye-Laws was alluded to , and when each member was to be strictly requested to attend at the next meeting , that the business may be accomplished .

next meeting following ( October 3 rd , 1849 ) : " Bro . Wainman Holmes promised to arrange the Bye-Laws and submit them to the inspection of our next meeting for the approval of the Brethren .

, , No . 827 , were founded in 1849 . On February 26 th , 1850 , Bro . John Walker , senior , again rejoined , but the attendance was anything but satisfactory up to 1853 inclusive .
