This Act, relating solely to “ Jurors and Juries,” has no re¬ 
ference whatever to parochial offices. 
Touching the Report of Council, or—as the new name for it 
seems to be —“ the Abstract,” which, year by year, the transac¬ 
tions of the Royal College appear to furnish minishing material 
for, two features are this year prominent in it, the completion of 
the Register and the Exemption Bill. That a great and good 
work has been achieved in the registration of the members of a 
profession now grown into numerical and social import, will by 
nobody be denied; while the registered themselves will ac¬ 
knowledge a debt of gratitude due to those through whose 
interest and labour the work has been executed. The pro¬ 
fession have now before them lists as accurate as circum¬ 
stances will admit of their being made, not of living veterinary 
surgeons only, but of those departed this life as well; the 
aggregate number not yet being too great to admit of the re¬ 
tention of the latter, whose names, in many instances, recall to 
memory transactions and associations of a nature the minds of 
the living love well, ever and anon, to recur to and ruminate 
upon.
