330 MEETING OF THE MEMBERS OF THE ROYAL COLLEGE 
Professor Dick assented. 
Mr. Henderson said, he saw no objection to this being done. 
Mr Jas. Turner thought he could answer for it, that the majo- 
rity of the Council in the room had no objection to say, that what 
Mr. Dick required should be done. 
Mr. Braby said, as a member of Council, he thought it but just 
that the members generally should be made acquainted with the 
proceedings of the Council. 
Professor Dick. — Then am I to understand that the members of 
the Council present are willing to report their proceedings to the 
body of the profession at large 1 if so, I am quite satisfied. 
Mr. Langworthy . — If Professor Dick had paid attention to the 
speeches that had been made, he would have found that this was to 
be done. He, Mr. L., had no objection at all to their proceedings 
being published. 
Mr. Baker could only say that, as a member of the Council, he 
had every desire that their proceedings should be made public to 
the profession, and that he should most cheerfully meet the views 
of Professor Dick. 
Mr. King , jun. remarked that, as far as his feelings went, he 
was most happy to accede to the proposition ; he had no wish that 
the profession should be kept in darkness. 
Mr. Ernes would, as a member of the Council, support the pro- 
position. 
Professor Dick wished to state, in explanation, that in the draft 
of the Bye-laws there was a resolution, that the proceedings of the 
Council should be kept secret. That was his reason for bringing 
the matter before them then. 
Mr. Cherry , sen. said, that it afforded him great pleasure to find 
the affair had taken the turn it had done. As to the promise, he 
thought they ought not to require one, that there should not be a 
promise extorted : he had no doubt that the object they had in view 
would be carried out without one. That there should be a com- 
munication between the Council and the body at large there was 
no doubt. And as regarded the matter which had been brought 
before them that day, he considered that the law under which this 
meeting itself was convened, and which afforded the only means 
of communicating between the profession and the Council, should 
have a liberal construction put upon it, and that they should not 
exclude other matters from discussion. 
A Member. — In future, the advertisements inserted convening 
the meeting, should have the words “ and for general business,” 
added to them. 
Mr. Cherry , sen. — There was a remark he was going to make : 
they were but a young body, and their machinery was as yet but
