ROYAL COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SURGEONS. 
Mr. Cartledge said it was too important a document to be 
dealt with as a whole ; they ought to deal with it clause by 
clause. 
The President said it was not the first time it had been 
before the Council. 
Mr, Cartledge said it was the first time that the matter 
had been put in this tangible form. 
Mr. Withers. — The whole scheme has been discussed. 
Mr. Cartledge. — It has never been put into shape until 
now, I presume? 
Mr. Withers. — No. When do you propose to go before 
the Governors ? 
The President. — On Tuesday next. 
Professor Simonds. — It strikes me the safest thing to do 
would be just to receive the report, and leave the matter in 
the hands of the deputation, as they have made an appoint- 
ment with the Governors of the Royal Veterinary College. 
We shall have received a report, that is all. This course 
will leave us free to act. 
Mr. Cartledge. — If it be received by the Governors of the 
College, is it then supposed to have been adopted by this 
Council? 
Professor Simonds. — Not at all. 
Mr. Cartledge.— 1 am satisfied to receive it, but certainly 
not to adopt it. I move that it should be received. 
Mr. Moon seconded the motion, which was adopted. 
Mr. Cartledge. — I now move that the deputation be em- 
powered to have an interview with the Governors of the 
Royal Veterinary College as arranged, and report the result 
to this Council at the next quarterly meeting. 
Mr. Moon seconded the motion, which was adopted. 
Tuesday, April 12tli, at one o'clock, was fixed for the 
deputation. 
A letter, dated 13th of March, from Mr. Burrell, on the 
subject of Lord Enfield’s Jury Bill, was read. The writer 
desired to know what steps had been taken with the view of 
procuring the required exemption to the Royal College of 
Veterinary Surgeons. 
A second letter had been received from Mr. Burrell that 
morning, stating that the Bill would be read a second time 
that day, suggesting that the deputation should wait upon 
Lord Enfield on the subject. 
The Secretary was authorised to see the Parliamentary 
agent, and consult him on the matter. 
The meeting was then adjourned.
