868 ROYAL COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SURGEONS. 
present themselves at such an examination, not that it ^yas 
a sine qua non. 
Professor Spooner said it was a s{7ie qua 7ion. If the 
students did not present themselves at that examination they 
were not admitted. 
Mr. Field wished to ask at whose expense the deputation 
was to go. 
The motion for adding Mr. Lawson’s name to the deputa¬ 
tion was agreed to. 
The deputation would now consist of the President, Professor 
Brown, Messrs. T. D. Broad, W. Field, jun., Fleming, Har¬ 
rison, 'Ihacker, Morgan, and Lawson. 
Mr. Williinson protested against the selection. 
Mr. Lawson said if it was competent for a non-meinher of 
the Council to act upon the deputation, he would desire to 
add the name of Mr. W. Pohertson, of Kelso. 
Mr. Cartledge seconded the motion. 
On referring to the short-hand writer’s notes of the last 
meeting it was found that the deputation was not necessarily 
and exclusively to consist of members of the Council. The 
motion was agreed to. 
Mr. Field repeated his question with regard to the 
expenses. If the College was to pay, the deputation should 
be as small in number as possible; hut if each gentleman 
was expected to pay his own expenses, the more who went 
the better. 
Mr. Cartledge thought the Council were bound to pay the 
expenses. He quite agreed with Mr. Wilkinson in his 
recommendation that the deputation should consist mainly of 
gentlemen who had graduated in the North. It was already 
felt in Scotland that there was too much of the English 
element in the Council. 
Professor Simonds proposed— 
That a sum not exceeding £50 be placed at the disposal 
of the President towards defraying the expenses of the depu¬ 
tation to the Scotch Colleges.” 
Mr. Goiving seconded the proposal, which was agreed to. 
The Seeretary read a letter from Professor Spooner, Prin¬ 
cipal of the Boyal Veterinary College, Camden Town, which 
was sent at the request of the Governors of that institution, 
forwarding a copy of the rejDort of the Professors on the 
matriculation examination, and also a copy of the resolution 
passed by the Governors. The receipt of the letter was 
acknowledged by the Secretary. 
The following is a copy of the report:
