451 VETERINARY JURISPRUDENCE.

liis surprise at the absence of the members of the veterinary pro¬ 
fession on that occasion. It was, he thought, unpardonable, 
when they considered that Mr. Robinson had proved himself an 
ornament to the profession, and the time and talent he had 
bestowed in raising it to a higher standard, as also the ser¬ 
vices rendered by him as President and a member of the Board 
of Examiners to the Ptoyal College of Veterinary Surgeons in 
London. Mr. Burley referred to Mr. Robinson’s abstemious 
habits, which had enabled him to live to a ripe old age, but 
regretted that their friend had at last died a poor man, in har¬ 
ness, caused principally by his performing a great amount of his 
practice gratuitously. He did not believe in that system, and in 
his (Mr. Burley’s) career he had always looked after “ number 
one”—(laughter). He believed the memory of no man that ever 
lived deserved more honour than his late friend Mr. Robinson’s, 
and it was with the greatest pleasure he moved the resolution 
entrusted to him—(applause.) 
Mr. M. Maclan seconded the resolution, which w r as car¬ 
ried. 
Mr. Shaw then proposed a committee of several noblemen and 
members of Parliament, with power to add to their number, to 
co-operate with the Local Committee already formed. 
Mr. Argyle seconded the resolution, which was carried. 
In a discussion that followed, it transpired that the form of 
the memorial had not been decided upon, but the feeling of the 
meeting appeared to be against the founding of a scholarship or 
its taking any shape that would remove it from Tamworth. 
The Mayor, the Town Clerk, and Mr. Shaw were elected secre¬ 
taries ; and the National Provincial Bank and Lloyds’ Banking 
Company were requested to act as treasurers. 
The meeting closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman. 
Prom the high estimation in which Mr. Robinson was held, 
both in Tamworth and throughout the country, it is expected 
the Memorial Eund will reach a very large amount.
