SITTINGS 01- THE COUNCIL. 
Much was said on these points, but chiefly repetitions ; and the 
matter ended by Mr. Mayheio moving, that the truth of the 
Memorial from the Students be inquired into, and which was 
unanimously carried. 
Mr. Arthur Cherry , in the absence of Mr. Godwin, stated that 
he would bring forward that gentleman’s motion for the suspension 
of the ex-officio members of the Board of Examiners, provided that 
the word “removed” be struck out; and stated that the course 
which he thought should be adopted was the suspension of those 
parties who had taken or were taking a part in the formation of 
private or spurious Boards of Examination, and that this had not 
any reference to their being professors or teachers : with that they 
had nothing to do ; but when these parties accepted office under the 
bye-law appointing ex-officio members, they became the officers 
or servants of the Council, and the Charter gave them unlimited 
power over them ; the object of “ suspension ” being, that any party 
who was not concerned in these obnoxious proceedings might have 
time to exculpate himself ; but, should this not be done, judgment 
ought to go by default. 
To these views there was a general assent, and the discussion 
was a repetition of the general statement. A few verbal altera- 
tions were made in the motion before it was put to the vote ; which 
being done, it was carried unanimously. 
Mr. Arthur Cherry then gave notice for suspension for three 
months, “ That bye-law 3, section 6, relating to the appointment of 
ex-officio members, be rescinded.” 
Mr. Mayhew's notice of motion, that certain official parties be 
applied to, touching the holding of official appointments by non- 
members of the body corporate, was carried, to be left in the 
hands of the President ; on which that gentleman applied for a 
committee to assist him, and which was left to his own nomination. 
Messrs. Gabriel, Mayhew, and Arthur Cherry, were named for this 
purpose. 
Mr. Arthur Cherry then laid before the Council the third Re- 
port from the Registration Committee, together with a list of 
returned members, which was ordered to be printed. 
Adjourned.
