144 APPENDIX A.
Upon such a vacancy, if no former Grand Master, nor
former Deputy he found, the present Senior Grand Warden
fills the Chair, or in his absence the Junior, till a new Grand
Master is chosen: and if no present nor former Grand
Wardens be found, then the oldest Free Mason, who is now
Master of a Lodge.—(JY. R. Art. 21.)
ART. 5. No Grand Master, Deputy Grand Master,
Grand Warden, Treasurer, Secretary, or whoever acts for
them or in their stead, pro tempore, can, at the same time,
act as the Master or Warden of a particular Lodge ; but as

The Grand Master or Deputy has full authority and right,
not only to be present, but also to preside in every Lodge,
with the Master of the Lodge on his left hand; and to order
his Grand Wardens to attend him, who are not to act as
Wardens of particular Lodges, but in his presence, and at
