On 12th March 1879, the following letter was laid before the Branch Medical Council for Scotland :— “Dear Sir, Glasgow Royal Infirmary, 19 February 1879. “I beg to request that you will be good enough to lay before the Medical Council the following, viz. : — “According to the rules of the College of Surgeons, Ireland, a student gets credit fo all professional studies prior to his passing an arts or preliminary examination, and the con- sequence of this is that the Irish students put off their registration, all that is required by the R.C.S.l. being that they should, upon presenting themselves for examination, have their necessary professional certificates, with certificate of having passed the preliminary at some date prior to going in for examination. I have been to see Dr. Bell upon this subject, and being in my fourth year of professional studies, and having all the necessary certificates required by the Ed. Board, with the exception of the full period of registration. “ I beg further to request that the Council will take into their kind consideration the rules of the Irish College as regards the period of registration, and grant me permission to present myself for examination (final) in April next, having passed the first half of R.C.S.I. last July. An early reply will much oblige, as the examination for letters testimonial at R.C.S.l. comes off about the same time in April, of which I must avail myseif in the event of being refused permission to present myself for the Ed. Examination. “ Yours, &c. (signed) “William Bunbury Barnes, “ House Surgeon, G.R.I.
