altered their signs to that of “ farrier/’ or some equivalent term. 
Let there be no mistake on this point. Exposure is no light 
punishment, and rigorously shall it be performed. There is a 
great difference between those who set themselves up in opposi- 
tion to the law after such law has come into operation, and those 
who were in existence before such law was known. 
I have not taken the trouble to make these statements in any 
way to interfere with the acts of the schools : they are beneath 
notice, from their excessive absurdity ; but there may be some 
who might be led astray by erroneous representations into a false 
position : I have, therefore, felt myself called on to give such a 
warning as they cannot possibly mistake, and have done so from 
feelings of kindness to those who might err from ignorance. I 
may be called upon to act with vigour hereafter ; and as I must do 
so, I think that I am bound, ere it be too late, to warn those whom 
it may concern of the course which will be adopted. There are 
always constitutional ways of procedure to make known pre- 
tenders to a position to which they are not entitled. 
But, trusting that occasion may not arise for any farther notice 
of so unpleasant an affair, 
I am, Sir, 
Your’s, obediently,

enabled to an examination for a diploma by attending for two ses- 
sional courses at the College ; at the same time I was informed, 
that a recent regulation had been made by the Council, to the 
effect that all pupils, who had not served three years’ apprentice-
