Veterinary Surgeon [fr. veterinarius, concerned with veterinum, a beast of burden]. A person who treats the illnesses, etc., of animals. A Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons was incorporated in 1844, and supplemental charters were granted thereto in 1876 and 1879. The Charter of 1876 directed a register of veterinary surgeons to be kept. The (English) Veterinary Surgeons Act, 1881, regulates the correction of the register, enacts that examinations shall be held in accordance with the charters, and provides that no person not qualified by registra-tion, etc., may recover in any court any charge for performing any veterinary operation, or for giving any veterinary advice, and imposes penalties for false representation as to membership of the college and prohibits unregistered practitioners from using the title of veterinary surgeon or veterinary practitioner. The college has disciplin-ary powers over its members, which have been extended to holders of the veterinary certificate of the ...
Conduct disgraceful in a professional respect
Conduct disgraceful in a professional respect, is not limited either to conduct involving moral turpitude or to a veterinary surgeon's conduct in pursuit of his profession, but may extand to conduct which, although reprehensible in anyone, is, in the case of a professional man, so much more reprehensible as to be disgraceful, in the sense that it tends to bring disgrace to the profession which he practise, Marten v. Disciplinary Committee of Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, (1966) 1 QB 1: (1965) 1 All ER 949 DC, Halsbury's Laws of England, Vol. 2, para 571, p. 318.When misconduct is proved, the House can impose punishments such as admonition, reprimand, withdrawal from the House, suspension from the service of the House, imprisonment and expulsion from the House.

Bribe
Bribe, a fit to any person in office or holding a position of trust, with the object of inducing him to disregard his official duty or betray his trust for the benefit of the giver. It is a misdemeanour at common law for a public officer, whether judicial or ministerial, to accept a bribe, or for such an officer to conspire with others that he shall receive such a bribe, Rex v. Whitaker, (1914) 3 KB 1283. It has long been settled law that the secret profits of an agent belong to his principal: see De Busche v. Alt, (1878) 8 Ch D 286. The acceptance of a secret commission from the other side to a negotiation justifies the dismissal of the agent receiving it, Boston Deep Sea Fishery v. Ansell, (1888) 39 Ch D 339. The bribery of an agent avoids a contract: see Shipway v. Broadwood, (1899) 1 QB 369, where a veterinary surgeon employed to test horses by the purchaser had passed them after acceptance of a bribe from the seller. In such a case it is an immaterial inquiry to what extent the br...

The (English) Pharmacy Act, 1933, provides for registration and abrogates certain provisions of the (English) Pharmacy Acts of 1852, 1868 and 1869, the (English) Poisons and Pharmacy Act, 1908, the Dangerous Drugs Acts, 1920, 1923 and 1925, which otherwise regulate the business of chemists and druggists, and provide for their examination. Any registered person is entitled to sell drugs, other than poisons which are contained in the Schedules to the Act of 1933 or added thereto under the provisions of that Act. Others must not falsely imply that they are registered members of the Pharmaceutical Society or use the description of chemist, druggist, pharmacist, etc. Only authorized persons may sell poisons. It is an offence to use such titles unless authorized by the Pharmacy Acts. Medical practitioners, qualified veterinary surgeons, and certain other persons, as, for example, those selling certain scheduled poisonous substances for agricultural purposes, are not w...
