REPORT OF PROCEEDINGS AT THE QUARTERLY MEETING 
OF THE COUNCIL, HELD APRIL 6tti, 1870. 
The President in the Chair. 
Members present — The President, Professor Spooner, Pro- 
fessor Simonds, Professor Brown, Professor Gamgee, Mr. 
Broad, Mr. J. C. Broad, Mr. Cartledge, Mr. Cartwright, 
Mr. Ernes, Mr. Fleming, Mr. Hunt, Mr. Moon, Mr. Morgan, 
Mr. Withers, the Secretary.

future consideration, because it would be unjusf to compel

ing that they would have to submit to the usual examination, 
to undergo this additional one. 
Mr. Morgan pointed out that the ambiguous phrase oc- 
curred in the fourth paragraph of the Report, which had 
been adopted at the last meeting, and was inserted in the 
minutes. It was not, therefore, a question of the correct-
