side that fair play has not been ehown to htm, but I have always given that my flittest contradiction. Th-s Chancellor ; My feeling has always been favourable towards him. •• Dr Hulmb : Both med'eal members of tho Council supported him in his wish to go Home, where ho was to got his recognition to further tho interests of the University. The Vick-Ciianchllor '. I know you did. Dr. Hulmb : If is not necessary to go into that now. Tho-Rev. Mr Stanford : Mr Carglll, will you draft a resolution? Some notice must be ti^en of this quiw-chari?o. It is not a charge ; a charge would imply that we knew he was in private practice. When we formed that reply we did not. take notice of that. We merely reasserted formally that it was not in ac cordance with tho conditions. Wo simply stated that tho conditions were so. Dr Burns : It stated that the Council, as a Council, had no knowledge of the violation of the conditions. The Rev. Mr Stanford : A charge would imply that there was fault. The Vicb-Ciianckllor : The resolution convoyed to him our interpretation of the contract It was morely an answer to the queries put us. I think wo should reid Mr Macandrew's letter. The Chancellor : Yes. Dr Hulmk : It there a letter from Mr Macandrew ? Le r us look at it. The Registrar then road tho following letter : — " Superintendent's Office, " Dunedin, 20th Decembor, 1876. " Sir — I have just received intimation of a special meeting of tho University Council to be heldto-mor-1 row in re Professor Coughtrey. As I sh«ll not be in town, I shall be unable to attend the meeting. " Being unacquainted with the causes which havo led to the dispute with Dr Coughtrey, I cannot, of course, judgo xs to the merits of the case. I may Ray, however, that my endeavour, if at tho Council to-mor row, would be to throw oil upon the troubled waters, and to overcome the difficulties which have cropped up in the attempt to establish a Medical school in connec tion with the Univemty.
