    (9) MEDICAL PRACTICE IN NORWAY. Despatch to the Eakl of Eosebeey. No. 19 [Commercial.] . Stockholm : February 13, 1893. My Lord,—On receipt of your Lordship's circular of this series, dated August 23 last, Sir F. Plunkett duly forwarded to the Swedish-Norwegian Government the Memorandum showing the conditions under which Foreign Medical Practitioners are allowed to practise Medicine in England, and at the same time expressed the hope of Her Majesty's Government that the liberal treatment accorded to Foreign Medical men in Great Britain may lead to a corresponding treatment of British Medical men in Sweden and Norway. I have now the honour to transmit copy of a note from Count Lewenhaupt on this subject, together with translation of two Norwegian laws forwarded by His Excellency. The Norwegian Government, it is stated, can already authorise indi- vidual Foreign Medical men to practise in Norway in practically the same degree in which British law permits foreigners to practise in the United Kingdom, though the Government are not at present prepared to give any general authorisation to English Medical men for this purpose. As regards Sweden, the Minister for Foreign Affairs states that he is expecting a communication on the subject of Foreign Practitioners in this country from the department concerned. I have the honour to be, with the highest respect, My Lord, your Lordship's Most obedient, humble servant, (Signed) HUGH GOUGH. The Earl op Rosebery, E.G., &c. Stockholm : le 8 fevrier 1893 Monsieur,—Par une lettre du 29 aout dernier sir Francis Plunkett a bien voulu transmettre a ce Ministere un memoire elabore par le Conseil-Gen. Medical du Royaume- Uni et rendant compte des conditions sous lesquelles les mddecins etrangers son admis a exercer leur metier en Angleterre.
