| Description | Under bye law thirty one members of the College were forbidden to work with members of the medical profession who were not members of the College, if they were asked to do so they were to decline to act, if in exceptional circumstances they felt they had to break the bye law they were required to write to the President.
File contains a printed pamphlet containing amendment of the thirty first bye law, with legal cases and opinions on the same. The legality of the bye law was brought into questions by a non-member bringing a case against a member who had followed this bye law as it had 'injured his professional character.' File also contains letters from members of College written in response to a letter from the College asking their opinion on Bye Law 31, with the reports and other papers of the committee of five Fellows and five Licentiates set up in [1814] to investigate the situation and report back to the College.
