THE LONDON VETERINARY MEDICAL SOCIETY. 
Correspondence. 
Circular of the new Committee of Management, 
In consequence of a very unfair and unfounded article, purport- 
ing to be an account of the proceedings of the London Veterinary 
Medical Society, which led to the late resignation of its officers, 
having appeared in the May number of The V eterinari an, a 
letter from a member of the present Committee of Management, 
replying to such article, was intended to have been forwarded to 
the Editor of The Lancet , with a request for its immediate inser- 
tion ; but Professor Coleman having expressed his desire that 
the Society’s affairs should not find their way into the columns 
of the latter Journal, the writer of such letter, as well as the other 
members of the Committee, anxious to evince to the Professor 
their readiness to oblige him by any means in their power, have 
consented to withhold it ; but, inasmuch as the Annual Meeting 
of the Governors of the Institution is expected shortly to take 
place, and the, Committee and majority of the Pupils are appre- 
hensive that the article in The Veterinarian, if permit- 
ted to go altogether uncontradicted, might operate to their pre- 
judice; and, inasmuch, as time greatly presses, they have 
deemed it right to get a few copies of the above named Letter, 
in the contents of which they entirely concur, struck off for the 
purpose of being placed in the hands of the Governors and 
Medical Examining Committee ; and the Committee of Manage- 
ment hope the Governors and Medical Examining Committee 
will withhold their judgment upon the article in question, as 
well as upon any other statement which may be laid before them, 
until a full and true statement of the Society’s late transactions, 
containing a complete refutation of the unfounded statements of 
The Veterinarian, shall have been laid before them, and 
which the undersigned members of the Committee of Manage- 
ment pledge themselves to publish within one month from the 
present time.
