§ SIR ROBERT PEELsaid, he wished to move for leave to introduce a Bill to define the powers of the President and Fellows of the King and Queen's College of Physicians in Ireland with respect to the election of Fellows. He need only state at that late hour that it was desirable to place the Irish College upon the same footing as the English and Scotch Colleges, which could receive Fellows from any University, whether home or foreign; whereas at present the King and Queen's College of Ireland was restricted to per- 1831 sons who had graduated at Oxford, Cambridge, or Dublin.
§ MR. WHITESIDEasked, if the Bill was brought in after communicating with the heads of colleges in Ireland.
§ SIR ROBERT PEELwas understood to reply in the affirmative.
§

Bill to define the Powers of the President and Fellows of the King and Queen's College of Physicians, in Ireland, with respect to the Election of its Fellows, ordered to be brought in by Sir ROBERT PEEL and Sir GEORGE GRET.
