346 MEETING OF VETERINARY SURGEONS IN GLASGOW. 
Mr. Sinclair was called to the chair. 
The subject of the proposed Memorial to Parliament, for a 
charter in favour of the veterinary surgeons of Great Britain and 
Ireland, was taken into consideration. The Meeting cordially 
agreed with the proceedings of their English brethren for this 
purpose ; and, being desirous of ascertaining more generally the 
views of the profession in this neighbourhood on the subject, 
resolved to call a meeting of veterinary surgeons residing in the 
west of Scotland. 
Mr. Lawson, a veterinary student, who was also present, was 
requested to act as Secretary, and to draw out a circular to be 
addressed to the veterinary surgeons within, at least, twenty miles 
of Glasgow, requesting them to meet on the 23d day of April 
current, for the purpose of more fully deliberating on the matter, 
and resolving on the course they should pursue. The Secretary 
was also requested to forward to Mr. Mayer, of Newcastle, a copy 
of this minute, and to inform him that the resolutions of the ad- 
journed meeting would likewise be communicated to him.
