SITTINGS OF THE COUNCIL. 
Mr. Goodwin moved, and Mr. Field seconded, “ That the Report 
from the Registration Committee be adopted, and entered on the 
Minutes.” — Carried. The same gentlemen also moved and se- 
conded, “ That a vote of thanks be tendered to the Committee, 
and to the Hon. Secretary in particular, for the great labour and 
attention they had shewn in the prosecution of their labours.” 
Mr. Ernes briefly returned thanks for the Committee. 
Mr. Arthur Cherry also shortly returned thanks, stating that, 
had there not been the most perfect unanimity existing amongst 
his colleagues, he should not have been enabled to carry out the 
measure to the extent to which it had at present gone. He also 
wished to take that opportunity of recording his thanks to the Com- 
mittee for the consideration and urbanity they had on all occasions 
shewn towards him. 
The draft of the “ Annual Report,” as prepared in Committee, 
was then read by the Secretary, and, being highly approved of, it 
was moved by Mr. Field, and seconded by Mr. Henderson, “ That 
the draft of the Report be adopted.” — Carried. 
Mr. Jas. Turner moved, and Mr. Goodwin seconded, “ That a 
vote of thanks be tendered to the Committee, and the Secretary in 
particular, for the highly satisfactory result of their labours.” — 
Carried. 
Mr. Arthur Cherry briefly returned thanks for the Committee, 
stating that the arrangement was the work of the Secretary, and 
was so completely in accordance with their own views, that they 
could not do otherwise than give it their entire concurrence. 
It being moved that the Annual Report should be printed, the 
same was carried. 
These motions were all passed with but one dissentient vote, in 
each case the same. 
A letter was read from the Secretary to the Highland Society 
in reply to a question of but little moment. 
The President made some very pertinent remarks on the pro- 
priety — nay, necessity — of having a public dinner. 
Messrs. Field, Henderson, Goodwin, and Jas. Turner, offered 
remarks on the same subject, and the matter ended in an under- 
standing that measures should be entered into to forward the desired 
object. 
The Treasurer moved, and Mr. Arthur Cherry seconded, that 
an advertisement be prepared and inserted in the papers, calling 
on Subscribers to the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons who 
had not paid their subscriptions to do so forthwith, in order that 
the annual accounts might be made up. — Carried. 
The sitting then terminated. g
