The Committee, consisting of Messrs. Cherry, sen., John 
Field, jun., W. J. Goodwin, Henderson, Langworthy, John and 
William Percivall, and James and Thomas Turner, assembled 
on the loth ultimo, and drew up the following Memorials, which 
were forwarded to Professor Coleman, to be by him presented to 
the Medical Examining Committee and the Governors of the 
Veterinary College: — 
lo the Medical Examining Committee of the Royal Veterinary 
College . 
Gentlemen, 
As members of the veterinary profession, we shall ever feei 
grateful for the liberality and support you have invariably evinced 
towards us; and in soliciting your recommendation to a measure 
that we deem expedient to propose to the governors of the Royal 
Veterinary College, we trust that you will give us credit for that 
good feeling which, on our part, must ever exist towards you. 
At a meeting of veterinary surgeons, held at the Freema¬ 
sons’ Tavern, April 27, 1829, Professor Coleman in the chair, 
it was resolved, That the veterinary profession would be materi¬ 
ally benefitted by the appointment of an examining committee of 
veterinary surgeons, to whose scrutiny the student should be 
subject, previous to his appearance before you. 
And it was also resolved, as you had the kindness, on a former 
occasion, to recommend the appointment of a separate committee. 
That you be solicited to assist us with your powerful influence, in 
again recommending the same measure to the governors of the 
Royal Veterinary College. 
Confiding in a continuance of your good wishes towards our 
profession, we earnestly hope that you will extend to us your aid 
on the present occasion, which, we trust, will insure the proposed 
measure a favourable consideration by the governors of the Col¬ 
lege, and will enhance the great respect we shall ever entertain 
towards the members of the medical examining committee. 
We have the honour to be, &c. 
(Signed.)
