(510 THE VETERINARY PROFESSION — THE CHARTER. 
on which the attainments and conduct of pupils at this College 
may be misrepresented. 
That no student shall be competent to examination by the Board 
of the Chartered Corporation who shall not have obtained a certi- 
ficate of qualification from the Examiners of the College of your 
petitioners, or one of the other Colleges named in the said Charter. 
That, should her Majesty deem that the insertions or alterations 
of the provisions of the Charter here designated be such as are 
inconsistent with its spirit and intention, that then your petitioners 
pray that the Royal Veterinary College of London be altogether 
withdrawn from the operations of the said Charter, to the obtaining 
of which they have been no parties ; and that the Royal College 
may be permitted to re-assume the same independent position it 
has hitherto held. 
W. Sewell, 
On the part of the Governors.

above petition.
