future no one would be admitted to an examination without the 
payment of the fee of ten guineas ? 
The Chairman , Certainly ; except a rejected candidate who 
has paid a fee either to the old Board or the present one. 
No motion on this subject was passed ; but it was understood 
that rejected candidates who had been examined by the old 
Board should be admitted for re-examination without the pay- 
ment of an extra fee. 
On the motion of Mr. Braby, seconded by Mr. F. King, 
orders were given for the payment of expences connected with 
the Board of Examiners. 
The Secretary laid before the Council the report of the 
Secretary to the Board of Examiners in Scotland, and alluded 
to the rejection of a pupil who had been previously examined 
and passed at a Board named by Professor Dick. He was glad 
to see the two bodies acting independently of each other; shew- 
ing that it was not a matter of course, that, because pupils passed 
one Board, they were therefore to pass the other. 
Professor Spooner suggested the propriety of a period being 
named for the re-examination of rejected candidates. There 
were cases in which it might be desirable that the pupils 
should be admitted to another examination at the end of the 
same session, without subjecting them to the delay of six 
months. Such a case, indeed, had occurred at the last ex- 
amination. 
Mr. Wilkinson suggested the propriety of the professors of 
the College giving certificates to the Board of Examiners as to 
the regular or irregular attendance on the instructions given at 
the College of the candidates for examination. 
Professor Spooner concurred with this. 
Mr, Wilkinson and Messrs. Cherry thought such a plan would 
give the professors a control over the pupils which it was de- 
sirable they should possess. 
The Chairman thought it was a matter in which the flouncil 
could not interfere, and one which rested with the aithorities 
of the Royal Veterinary College. 
The Secretary stated, that at the next meeting, he should lay 
on the table the resignation of Mr. Goodwin as a member of the 
Board of Examiners; when it would be necessary to fill up the 
vacancies that then exist. 
Professor Morton, Mr. Wilkinson, and the Secretary, were 
appointed as the Committee of Supervision, and the proceed- 
ings then terminated.
