The superintendence of the bishops was taken away by a royal charter dated 23rd September, 1858 (10 Hen. 8), which incorporated the physicians. By 14 & 15 Hen. 8, c. 5, this charter was confirmed, and a perpetual college of physicians established with a constitution of eight elects, etc. The subsequent history of the college is sufficiently traced in 23 & 24 Vict. c. 66, which provides fo...

Medical practitioners
Medical practitioners. The term is applied to physicians and surgeons. By s. 32 of the (English) Medical Act, 1858, only a registered medical practitioner can sue for his charges, and by s. 6 of the (English) Medical Act, 1886, a fellow of a College of Physicians may be prohibited by bye-law of the College from suing; and such bye-law has been passed.

Shakerly, (1932) 147 LT 157 (bone-setter, osteopathic physician and surgeon). The registration of medical men in controlled by the Medical Council.
