THE VETERINARY PROFESSION. 
A MEETING of veterinary surgeons, who had signed the Memo¬ 
rial, which was presented to the Governors of the Veterinary Col¬ 
lege, or who were friendly to the prayer of that Memorial, was 
held on the 3d of November, 1840, Mr. Thomas Turner in the 
chair. 
The following Report of the Deputation which had been appoint¬

REPORT. 
The Deputation appointed at your last General Meeting to 
present the Memorial to the Governors of the Royal Veterinary 
College having fulfilled the mission with which they were entrusted, 
have taken this opportunity of calling you together, in order to 
place before you a Report of their proceedings, and to direct your 
attention to various suggestions for your consideration. 
Your Deputation having arranged all the preliminary steps, the 
Memorial was presented by Mr. Tho. Turner, on the 10th of June, 
to the Governors of the Royal Veterinary College, who courteously 
received the Deputation, and promised to give the points therein 
contained their most serious consideration, and with a part of them 
they expressed their most hearty concurrence. The subject of the 
Charter was introduced by them to the Deputation, with whose 
feelings on that subject they seemed most readily to concur. 
On the 3d of July, one of the members of the Deputation re¬ 
ceived the following letter from Thos. France, Esq., which led to 
a correspondence between them, the whole of which has been given 
to the profession through the medium of TllE VETERINARIAN, and 
is only repeated here for the sake of connexion.
