BOARD OF EXAMINERS. 
347 
Council, for the third time, fell, unanimously, upon Mr. Thos. 
Turner ; and sincerely do we congratulate that gentleman upon 
his re-accession to office. The first two years of the presidentship 
have not turned out enviable ones; we hope the present will 
prove such as, in some measure, to compensate him for the cost of 
time and thought the former must have occasioned him. Of one 
thing, by way of consolation, we think we may venture to assure 
him ; and that is, that the changes which have taken place in the 
Council will be productive to him of additional support, and that 
of no despicable character.. 
The gentlemen chosen as Vice-Presidents for the present session 
are, Messrs. Robinson, King, senior, Jas. Turner, Field, Mayer, 
senior, and Wm. Sewell (Professor at the London Veterinary 
College). 
Mr. Gabriel, we are happy to say, was, with one accord, re- 
elected into the office of Secretary. His responsible, and, at times 
unpleasant, duties he has performed with a resolute firmness, 
mingled with a gentlemanly bearing and urbanity of manner 
which is not to be found in every corner of the profession, and 
therefore it is that, while we commend the Council for having 
the good sense to re-instal him, cordially do we congratulate him 
upon his return to office.
