SITTINGS OF THE COUNCIL. 
297 
into, the following alteration and additions were passed, subject to 
confirmation at the next sitting, which will take place on the 28th 
instant : — 
2. No person shall be admitted as a Member of the Royal Col- 
lege of Veterinary Surgeons who has not served an apprenticeship 
of three years to some Member of the College in regular practice 
during the whole of that period ; or, in lieu thereof, shall have at- 
tended for four sessional years the practice and lectures specified 
in law 3, section vi, at one of the recognised Colleges. 
3. A printed List of Members shall be prepared and published 
by direction of the Council as often as may be deemed requisite , 
which List may be had on application to the Secretary on payment 
of \s. 6d. 
Mr. Hendersons motion, that “ Attendance of not less than 
three years at an agricultural college be considered equivalent to 
an apprenticeship,” after a very long and animated discussion, 
in which the opposition shewn turned principally on the best time 
for bringing such a law into operation, was withdrawn, in con- 
sequence of an error in the drawing up of the suspended notice, 
and with the understanding and a general concurrence that it 
should be amended and again suspended. 
A letter was read from Mr. Percivall, stating that it was impos- 
sible, under circumstances, to proceed as one of the deputation to 
Edinburgh ; and as there was not time to make a re-appointment, 
the matter, of necessity, dropped. 
As this will be the last Report of proceedings before the Annual 
Meeting, we have given the above Bye Laws rather out of order ; 
but, after the sifting they have undergone, there can be little doubt 
but that they will be confirmed.
