Mr. James Wood Ingram, No. 37, of the New Veterinary College, 
Edinburgh, was the only one who obtained qualifying marks in each 
subject; the other two (Nos. 35 and 38) failed. 
The First Prize (£50) therefore is awarded to Mr. Ingram ; there 
being no other qualified competitor he was not required to go through 
the examination in Part 2 (practical). 
To No. 35 the Donor kindly presented £15 ; ditto to No. 38 £10. 
The terms of the competition were: that each competitor should 
obtain two thirds of the marks allotted to each subject. 
Mr. W. II. Coates officiated as Superintendent. 
A. W. Hill, Secretary. 
Mr. Foliar moved “ That a committee be appointed to consider the 
best steps to make Clause 12 of the Supplementary Charter available for 
the benefit of the profession, and to report thereon.” He explained his 
motives for bringing forward the motion, remarking that the present 
clause was a “ white elephant,” and was of no use to the profession. He 
was of opinion that a set of rules should be drawn up by the Council to 
define their disciplinary powers, the same as were held by the other 
professions. 
After some conversation the subject was allowed to drop. 
The President gave notice that he would move “ That on and after the 
year 1884, no candidate for the diploma of membership shall be allowed 
to present Himself for the final examination unless he shall have given 
sufficient proof that he has served a pupilage of at least one year with 
a duly-qualified member of the profession, and during that time has 
conducted himself satisfactorily. 
A SECOND SPECIAL MEETING 
Was then held, to take into consideration the amendment of Bye-law 
No. 4 by Mr. James Collins. 
Mr. Collins said that this was a matter affecting the votes of members 
abroad, particularly the army members serving in India, and asked leave
