reference to Mr. Crozier’s examination, whether the first half of his 
examination under the old rules would be accounted to him, or whether 
he would have to stand a first, second, or third examination. 
The President said that if the applicant failed under the old rules he 
must commence de novo. 
The Secretary stated that a letter had been received from Mr. Glover, 
from the Veterinary College, Camden Town, stating that in consequence 
of illness he was prevented from coming up for examination in January 
last. He was told he could not come up again until the following 
Christmas, which he considered a great hardship. 
It was decided that unless a certificate was received from the Principal 
of the Veterinary College in which Mr. Glover had been educated he 
should go up in July. 
The Secretary announced that a letter had been received from Dr. 
Dunsmure, asking to be furnished with the requisite diplomas and papers 
for examination commencing April 9th, and that they should be ex¬ 
tended to the 14th, 15th, 16th, 19th and 20th. 
The Secretary intimated that the diplomas had been sent. 
The Secretary announced that a letter had been received from Mr. 
Moore, dated the 3rd of February, 1880, in answer to a letter from the 
President of the Royal College, in which the writer stated that the letter 
had been laid before the Practitioners’ Committee, and that they con¬ 
sidered it a most evasive answer to the requisition to call a meeting in 
the rooms of the Royal College. 
Another letter, dated April 2nd, referring to the same subject, was 
read from Mr. Moore. 
A letter was read from Mr. J. C. Rutherford, asking his name to be 
entered as a candidate for the Fitzwygram prizes if it was not too 
late. 
Sir F. Fitzwygram said that as soon as he knew the date of the Scotch 
Examinations lie would fix the date for the Fitzwygram Prize Examina¬ 
tions. 
Finance Committee. 
The vouchers and receipts for payments during the preceding quarter 
were examined and found correct. The present liabilities amounted to 
£110 18s. 7d., which the Committee recommended should be dis¬ 
charged. 
New Register. 
The Secretary asked permission for a new Register to be printed, so as 
to include the new members of the profession. 
On the motion of Mr. Fleming , a committee, consisting of Mr. Collins, 
Mr. Harpley, and Mr. Fleming, was appointed to look into the matter 
prior to the new Register being printed. 
The Annual Report. 
The President and Mr. Dray were appointed, with the Secretary, to 
draw up the annual report. 
Mr. Batt and Mr. Banham were appointed auditors. 
The Secretary read a list of names that had been proposed as members 
of Council. 
A new financial journal was ordered to be purchased. 
Mr. Fleming moved a resolution, of which he had previously given 
notice, “That steps be immediately taken by the Royal College of 
Veterinary Surgeons to obtain an Act of Parliament for the protection 
of the title of veterinary surgeon, or other title conferred by Royal 
Charter.” Mr. Fleming reiterated his views in regard to the motion^ 
which views he explained at length on a former occasion.
