the publication of the old list, and those whose addresses were not 
known. That he estimated the number of certificated veterina- 
rians at between twelve and fourteen hundred; and that those who 
were practising without certificates or diplomas at from six to 
seven thousand; that, under these circumstances, he could but 
consider that the objects of the Council must be directed to the re- 
generation of this latter portion, as well as the benefit of the 
smaller number of certificated men. The Charter was evidently 
granted for both these objects. 
Mr. Mayer withdrew some of the motions of which notice had 
been given : upon the others much valuable discussion took place, 
and some very judicious amendments were introduced. We will 
give them after they are confirmed at the next meeting. 
It will not be necessary in this place to give each resolution, as 
they must all appear in due course ; and as there are several notices 
of amendments, or of new bye-laws, it would be premature to enter 
on them. We will, in due course, state the nature of the notices 
as given in by the respective movers. These will be suspended 
for the required period, viz. three months.

under the following circumstances : — It appears that a week before, 
when engaged in cutting up a horse for the hounds, the knife 
slipped, and inflicted a slight scratch on his left thumb; and on the 
following day he killed and dismembered another horse that was 
unequivocally affected with glanders, the scratch on his thumb 
not being then healed. The ensuing day his thumb became a little 
painful and swollen, and, knowing from experience the dangerous 
nature of the wound, he fomented it frequently with hot water, 
and applied a large linseed poultice. The third day after inocula- 
tion he was alarmed by pains shooting up his arm, and stiffness in 
the armpit, which, however, gave way to the repeated use of hot
