    Tne President said the conversation was not strictly regular, because it had been already decided that the Register should be corrected, as it was in the case of Mr. Hamilton, by removing the quaUfication. A further question had been raised, whether that was all that was to be done. He understood that it was not now proposed to do anything else, unless the matter were brought be- fore them again, in which case it would have to be referred to the Dental Committee, for a further report as to the facts of the case. Mr. Farrer : The next case is that of Mr. Valleck Cartwright Mallan, who was also a dentist before the Dentists' Act was passed. He has admitted that he carries on business at four different places—at 173, Praed Street, and 64, High Street, Netting Hill, in his own name; at 94, Praed Street, as Charles Smith, the name of a late partner of his, as we are told; and at 106, Edgware Road, under the name of C. Valleck, which is part of his own name. He submits to the Council his willingness to do anything that they may think right in the matter. The Dental Committee had Mr. Mallan before them, and I thiiik the opinion of the Committee was that he was a straightforward man, who was telling the truth ; and if he has committed, as I suppose he has, an act of unprofes- sional conduct, he appeared to be willing to atone for it. Moreover, it was not so very bad, inasmuch as this conduct had been initiated before the passing of the Act. I should say that he submitted to his own name being put up at once at all those places of business, and to conduct his business in future in his own name if you think fit. The Registrar, at the request of Dr. Pitman, then read the following letter from Mr. Mallan :— ■^7Sj Praed Street, Paddmgton, June 6th, 1882. Dentists' Act, 1878. Sir,—^ summons was issued on the 22nd May against Charles Smith, of g4, Praed Street, by the Medical'Alliance Association, for infringing Section 3 of the above Act. I enclose a copy of summons. The sicmtnons was heard before Mr. Lushington on the 31st May last. He adjourned it for four weeks, so that your Council might be commufiiccLted with, to see whether it was considered that I had been guilty of^ infamous or disgraceful conduct'in a professional respect,' m carrying on business under another name, and so liable to have my name erasedfrom the ' Register.' The facts are these :—I carry on my business at four different places: at 1J3, Praed Street, in my own name; at 04, Praed Street, as Charles Smith ; at 106, Edgware Road, as C. Valleck ; at 64,
