the ensuing year consist of Professor Spooner, Mr. Harpley,

Parliamentary Committee. 
Mr. Ernes said the Parliamentary Committee had not been 
once called together during the whole of the past year. 
The President said during the present year they might 
need to take action with regard to the Juries Bill. 
Mr. Ernes did not think the Council could consistently 
ask parliament to exempt the profession from serving on 
juries, as they had themselves struck a similar clause out of 
the draft bill prepared some years ago. 
Mr. Hunt said it was then struck out because it was felt 
it would be ridiculous to attempt to pass such a clause. 
Mr. Robinson thought there was a much better chance of 
having such a clause inserted at the present time. 
Mr. Withers proposed that the Committee for last year, 
consisting of Professor Spooner, Professor Simonds, Professor 
Gamgee, Mr. Ernes, Mr. Field, Mr. Fleming, Mr. Gowing, 
Mr. Harpley, Mr. Harrison, and Mr. Robinson, should be 
reappointed. 
Mr. Naylor seconded the motion, which was carried.
