PROCEEDINGS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE ROYAL 
COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SURGEONS. 
Sitting of July 16, 1851. 
Quarterly Meeting. 
Present — The President; Messrs. Baker (Sudbury), 
Cherry, A. Cherry, Ernes, Henderson, King, Mayer 
(Newcastle), Peech (Wentworth), Silvester (St. Albans), 
Turner, Wilkinson ; and the Secretary. 
The President in the Chair. 
The minutes of the preceding meeting having been read and 
signed, 
The Secretary read letters from Mr. Mayer and Mr. Cowie, 
returning thanks for the honour of their election as Members of 
the Board of Examiners, the former on the portion acting for 
England, and the latter that for Scotland : he then stated that 
there was no specific business before the meeting. 
Mr. A. Cherry believed it usual for committees to make re- 
ports at these Quarterly Meetings ; and he had to state that the 
Bill for Exemptions had passed the House of Lords and had 
been read twice in the Commons. Some desultory conversation 
followed as to any opposition likely to be raised against it, and 
its probable result. Allusion was also made to the employ- 
ment of a non-graduated member of the College who was 
called in by an officer commanding a detachment of the Ord- 
nance at Liverpool, but without any motion being made on the 
subject ; after which the meeting terminated.
