was gone through ; and the result was an unanimous election of 
Mr. Thos. Turner, who returned thanks for the honour done him, 
by being now elected President for the fourth time. 
Mr. Arthur Cherry proposed that a portion of the number of 
Vice-Presidents should be chosen annually from the country prac- 
titioners of standing and repute, and that the other portion be 
elected from the metropolitan body ; to be ready to act immedi- 
ately, should it be rendered necessary by the absence of the Presi- 
dent. He proposed the names of four gentlemen as fitted to fill 
the office of Vice-President; viz. Messrs. Mills (of Nottingham), 
Watts, sen. (of Dublin), Peach (of Wentworth), and Constant (of 
Edinburgh). 
Mr. Gabriel proposed that Professor Sewell and Mr. Henderson 
be also Vice-Presidents. 
A long, animated, and general discussion ensued, in which no 
opinion contrary to the object stated in Mr. A. Cherry’s propo- 
sition was given. Mr. Mayer alone proposed that the numbers 
should be equal. A few other names were proposed. On pro- 
ceeding to a ballot, the following gentlemen were elected : — 
Mr. Mills, 10 votes ; Mr. Peach, 10 votes ; Mr. Watts, 9 votes ; 
Professor Sewell, 9 votes; Mr. Henderson, 8 votes; and Mr. Con- 
stant, 7 votes, these being the highest numbers. 
Mr. Arthur Cherry proposed that the present Secretary, Mr. 
Gabriel, should be re-elected, as, from the very efficient manner 
in which that gentleman had discharged the duties of an arduous 
office, his loss would be a most serious one. 
Balloted for, and without any opposition re-elected. 
Mr. Arthur Cherry gave notice of motion regarding the annual 
election of Committees.
