That no claims for the premium, offered by the committee for 
the best collection of cases of the diseases in horses, called the 
glanders, having been delivered in within the term prescribed, 
the same premium be continued on the following conditions, viz. 
“ For the best collection of cases of the diseases in horses called 
the glanders, with the treatment and cure, consisting of twenty 
cases, or such a number as the committee shall judge to be 
sufficient to establish the fact, the treatment, and the cure, ten 
guineas, or an honorary premium of the same value.” 
That the like premium be offered for the best collection of 
cases of the disease in sheep, called the rot, consisting of twenty 
cases, or such a number as the committee shall judge to be suf¬ 
ficient to establish the fact, the treatment, and the cure. 
The cases for each premium to be sent to the secretary, at 
No. 10, Welbeck Street, Cavendish Square, at least a week be¬ 
fore the King’s birthday, in June next, without names or inti¬ 
mation to whom they belong, marked in what manner each 
claimant shall think fit; such claimant sending his certificates 
properly authenticated, sealed up in a paper, having on the out¬

Odiham Society, April 26, 1791. 
Resolved, That the Veterinary College, in London, being, by 
its establishment, enabled effectually to execute what the Odiham 
Society have so long had in view, and which it was their wish to 
accelerate, by the appointment of their committee in London ; 
the Society relinquish their original intentions towards a public 
institution for the veterinary art, and all other concern in its ge¬ 
neral improvement, except what may occasionally be done by 
local and provincial premiums and inquiries. They beg, there¬ 
fore, permission from those noblemen and gentlemen, who have 
given their names to the secretary, as contributors to the farriery 
fund, to transfer their names, as benefactors or subscribers, to the 
Veterinary College. 
The Odiham Society afterwards presented the Veterinary Col- 
legejwithjan excellent agricultural and professional library, from 
which, I doubt not, the pupils continue to derive much benefit.
