ADJOURNED ^MEETING OF THE 
to the list. If 1 do not find him there, “ This man,” I say, u is uo 
a veterinary surgeon and I know what to think of him, and hov 
to act. It is a comparative test of the man. He has or has no 
dared to submit himself to examination, or he has or has no 
been successful in passing that examination. 
A newspaper was now produced, and the advertisement read 
u The Veterinary Profession” was summoned to meet. 
Mr. Bunbury. —What is the veterinary profession? Who ii 
a member of it? The man who has obtained his diploma, os 
the groom, the farrier, and the spayer of pigs ? 
Mr. Jumpson.—I consider that eveiy man who has paid th< 
initiatory fee at the Veterinary College may be considered a, 4 
being a member of the veterinary profession. 
Mr. Sibbald. —I conceive that none but those who have ob¬ 
tained their diplomas from the Veterinary College are entitled to 
speak or vote here. 
Mr. Goodwin. —There are many practitioners who have every 
thing at stake in their profession, although they may not possess 
a diploma from the College- 
Now suddenly arose a clamour tenfold more uproarious than 
before. It was impossible for Mr. Goodwin to be heard ; and he 
indignantly left the room. This, it seems, gave great offence. 
Mr. Sibbald.— Is not Mr. Goodwin to suffer the slightest 
interruption without treating us in this contemptuous way ? 
Well! we do not want him. Let him go. We do not want him. 
Shall we send a deputation after him ? 
Mr. Child. — Really this is disgraceful. It is most horrible! 
Are none to be heard but a favoured few ? Mr. Goodwin has been 
shamefully clamoured down. If the meeting cannot be better 
conducted, let it be broken up at once. The question before us 
is, whether members of the veterinary profession, who have ob¬ 
tained their diplomas from the Veterinary College, are exclu¬ 
sively privileged to speak and vote here to-night, or whether that 
privilege be extended to all who have paid their fee, although 
they may not possess a diploma. The sooner this is put the 
better. 
Mr. Jumpson. —I move that the “veterinary profession” be 
defined to consist of all who have paid their twenty guineas to 
the College. 
Mr. Fenwick. —The meeting commenced in disorder: it has 
been carried on in disorder. I propose, as the chairman does 
not seem to understand the duties of his office, or, at all events, 
has not been able to keep any order at all, that he vacate his 
seat, and that Mr. Sibbald take the chair. 
Mr. Sib bald. —There again is the disappointed chairman.
