would only weaken both. Again ; the Memorial, such as had been 
proposed, was of too important a nature to be so incorporated as to 
run the chance of its not being attended to ; he would, therefore, 
suggest that they be treated as two distinct questions. 
The President strongly supported both these views. 
Mr. Mark Phillips’ letter was then read ; and, after a careful 
investigation, it was decided that, in addition to the documents 
already named, the report of the result of that interview, drawn 
up by the President and laid before the Council, and which was 
published in the Second Report of the Council (vide VETE- 
RINARIAN for June 1846, p. 344), should be added, and the Secre- 
tary was directed to prepare the same, and the President requested 
to forward them to the Home Office without delay. 
Mr. J. Turner moved, and Mr. W. Arthur Cherry seconded, 
“ That a letter in accordance with the sketch given be adopted,” 
which was unanimously carried. 
It having been decided that the Memorial should be a distinct 
subject, 
Mr. Mayhew moved, and Mr. J. Turner seconded, “ That a 
memorial be prepared for the purpose of being laid before the 
Secretary of State for the Home Department.” Carried unani- 
mously. 
Mr. Ernes moved, and Mr. J. Turner seconded, “ That a Com- 
mittee, consisting of Messrs. Mayhew, Gabriel, and W. Arthur 
Cherry, be appointed to prepare the memorial.” Carried. 
Mr. Henderson's motion, of which notice had been given some 
time since, that “ Any letters or communications which were not 
couched in proper language or form should not be admissible, but 
be at once rejected without any further notice,” being seconded by 
Mr. W. Arthur Cherry, was also carried. 
Mr. Mayhew moved, and Mr. Field seconded, “ That measures 
be taken to collect all necessary information preparatory to the 
drawing up of petitions to both Houses of Parliament,” was, after a 
few general remarks by different members of its being a very de- 
sirable object, carried unanimously. 
Mr. J. Turner moved, seconded by Mr. Mayheio, “ That the 
following gentlemen form a committee to carry out the last motion : 
Messrs. Field, Gabriel, Ernes, Mayhew, Henderson, W. Arthur 
Cherry, and W. C. Spooner, Southampton.” Carried. 
Mr. W. A. Cherrys motion to prepare and arrange all matter 
connected with the Registry preparatory to the publication of a 
new list, was seconded by Mr. Gabriel, and carried. “ That a 
committee to carry out the same, consisting of Messrs. Ernes, 
Braby, T. Walton Mayer, Mayhew, and W. Arthur Cherry,” was 
also carried.
