nd.--"This young Fellow Craft has brought up work for inspection,
which was not his own, and has attempted to receive wages for it; he
was detected at the Senior Grand Warden's apartment as an impostor,
and I became responsible, on condition of his release, that he should
appear before the Right Worshipful, and if, after a fair trial, you
should pronounce him guilty, that I should see the penalty of an
impostor inflicted upon him." R. W. M.--"Brother Junior Overseer, did
this man bring up work to your station for inspection?" J. O.--"He
did. I inspected it, and observed that it was neither an oblong nor a
square, neither had it the regular mark of the craft upon it; but on

man attempt to receive wages at your apartment?" S. G. W.--"He did,
and I detected him as an impostor, and was about to inflict the
penalty, but the conductor becoming responsible, that if I would
release him, he would see the impostor taken before the Right
