334 ADJOURNED MEETING OF THE

of the profession—the feeling and wish of every influential and 
thinking man among us,—the feeling of the sporting world and 
of society at large, demand it. You are about to record your 
opinion, that nothing of the kind is wanted. Beware what the 
better pail of your profession will think and say of you—what 
the public will decide—and how far the cause, which I take it for 
granted you have at heart, the cause of veterinary science, may 
be irreparably injured. 
Mr. Hallen. —I much regret the interruptions which Mr. 
Youatt received. He contends that the Professor and Assistant- 
professor are decidedly of opinion, and have publicly stated, that a 
change is expedient in the examination of the veterinary pupils. 
I really very much doubt this. When Mr. Coleman made this 
application to the governors for the appointment of a veterinary 
committee (and I had it from his own lips), he was merely the 
agent of the committee which met in this room; and if Mr. 
Sewell will in one place make professions and assertions of a 
certain nature, and in another place will make very different 
ones, nothing can be said about the matter; but from the general 
conduct of Mr. Sewell, and the occasional expressions which 
have dropped from him, I should have supposed him to be per¬ 
fectly neutral in the business. 
Mr. B unbury. —I attended the last meeting. Mr. Youatt 
then asked in what sporting stable the opinion and judgment of 
the groom was not preferred to that of the veterinary surgeon. 
I know many of the best racing stables in which the veterinarian 
is regularly consulted, and his judgment valued. In the early 
part of my life I saw much of the proceedings of trainers. A 
highly and justly esteemed relative of mine was at the head of 
the sporting world. The jockeys and training grooms certainty 
pursue a system of their own, and are jealous of much inter¬ 
ference ,* but when anything is much amiss they readily apply tc 
the veterinarian, and submit to his directions. The assertion has 
gone forth to the world, and particularly in “ T h e V e t e r i n a r i a n , ’ 
that the veterinary surgeon is little thought of in these stables 
I would beg leave peremptorily to contradict that assertion. 
Mr. Morgan. —Has Mr. Youatt forgotten, or does he no 
know, that the greater part of the stables at Newmarket are unde 
the management of Mr. Bowles, of Cambridge, a veterinary 
surgeon of more than thirty years’ standing ? 
The amendment of Mr. Child was now put and negatived 
and the original motion of Mr. Morgan carried by a large majority 
The two following resol utions were then passed without discussion 
“ It having been advanced at the last meeting that the title c 
veterinary surgeon, granted by the College, is a reproach rathe
