288 ROYAL COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SURGEONS. 
Mr. Collins seconded the motion, which was agreed to. 
The President stated that a letter had been received from 
Mr. Jenkins as to the examination for the Royal Agricultural 
Society’s prizes. What he (the President) would suggest, was 
that Mr. Jenkins should be written to with a proposal to recom¬ 
mend the Royal Agricultural Society to allow as Candidates all 
those who had passed with great credit on cattle, although they 
might not have passed with great credit on the other subjects. 
The limitation of the period after taking the diploma should be 
extended for two years. 
Letters were received from Mr. Loch, stating that the agree¬ 
ment between the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons and 
the Highland and Agricultural Society had been returned from 
Edinburgh. 
It was duly signed and sealed on behalf of the Council, and 
returned to Mr. Loch. 
Mr. Loch also enclosed the draft Supplemental Charter, as 
amended by the President. 
The Draft Supplemental Charter was taken as read. 
Professor Brown said he did not think any discussion was 
necessary upon the document, as it was purely technical and 
legal, and would give a complete settlement to the question at 
issue. He thought the Council could not do better than accede 
to it. 
After some discussion as to Clause 3 of the Charter, 
The President moved that Mr. Loch be instructed to apply for 
a Supplemental Charter, and that Clause 3 be included in it. 
A form of diploma for the holders of certificates, granted by 
the Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland, was sub¬ 
mitted to the Council, and ordered to be sent to the Highland 
and Agricultural Society for approval. 
Some conversation then ensued as to a site for the proposed 
new College ; but it was decided, before taking any further steps, 
that a deputation should again wait upon the Duke of Richmond 
to ascertain exactly his views as to the probability of the 
Government giving a money grant towards the erection of new 
premises, or the use of some G-overnment building. 
The President said that he had omitted to call attention to a re¬ 
commendation of the Marks’ Committee, “That the payments made 
to Examiners be by the hour, and at the rate of £1 Is. per hour, 
except for the Practical Examination, which should remain as 
heretofore.” The object of that was that if there was a small 
number over the twelve or the nine, if the Examiners got so 
much over the hour they would probably stay on an hour longer 
that evening and finish, instead of the Council being obliged to 
appoint a new evening for Examiners at £3 a-piece. 
Professor Turner , and others, were agreeable to this arrange¬ 
ment. 
On the motion of the President, seconded by Mr. Dray,
