" Any member found guilty of a breach of
" this Rule by the General Committee, or a
" majority thereof, or on appeal, a majority
"of the members present at a General
" Meeting, shall be subject to such fine or
" penalty as the General Committee shall
" impose not exceeding £100,
the above
" appeal being governed by Rule 15 of the
" Association."
Mr. Shannon explained that the Rule was
proposed with a view to exercising reasonable
control over those about to enter the pro
fession, and in order that the Association may
be in a position to keep up the standard of
the profession in the interest of the public
as well as of the profession ;
that the control
would be exercised in a reasonable spirit,
which was assured, by the constitution of the
General Committee ;
also by the right of
appeal to a General Meeting of the Associa
tion.
Several members
having
spoken,
the
adoption of the Rule was put to the meeting,
and was
declared
carried,
with
one
dissentient.

F. D'Arcy seconded, the following alteration
in Rule 9, namely :—" That the word ' ten '
be substituted for the word ' eight' in Rule
9 of the Association." The alteration being
put to the meeting, was passed unanimously.
It was proposed by Mr. N. F. Matter, and
seconded by Mr.
J. H. Dudley,
and
unanimously resolved,
that owing to the
European War the Annual Dinner of the
Association be not held this year ;
that the
Hon. Treas. be directed to forward a sub

tion to the fund for the wounded of the
