Any Standing Committee of the Association may, by rule, impose upon its members a fine for non-attendance, and may provide for the disposition of the fines collected under such rule. Whenever any complaint shall be preferred against a member of the Association, for misconduct in his relation to this Association or in his profession, the member or members preferring such complaint shall present it to the Committee on Grievances, in writing, and subscribed by him or them, plainly stating the matter complained of, with particulars of time, place and circumstances. The Committee shall thereupon examine the complaint, and if they are of the opinion that the matters therein alleged are of sufficient importance, shall cause a copy of the complaint, together with a notice of not less than five days of the time and place w r hen the Committee will meet for the consideration thereof, to be served on the member complained of, either personally, or by leaving the same at his place of business during office hours, properly addressed to him. If, after hearing his explanation, the Committee shall deem it proper that there should be a trial of the charge, they shall cause a similar notice of five days of the time and place of trial to be served on the party complained 15 of. At the time and place appointed, or at such other time as may be granted by the Committee, the member com- plained of shall file a written answer or defence ; or should he fail to do so, the Committee may proceed thereupon to the consideration of the complaint. The Committee shall thereupon, and at such other times and place as they may adjourn to, proceed to try the said complaint, and shall determine all questions of evidence. The complainant and the member complained of shall each be allowed to appear personally and by counsel, who must be members of the Association. The witnesses shall vouch for the truth of their statements on their word of honor. The Committee shall have power to summon wit- nesses, and if members of the Association, a neglect or re- fusal to appear may be reported to the Association, and treated as misconduct. The Committee, of whom at least seven must be present at the trial, except that a less number may adjourn from time to time, shall hear and decide the allegations and proofs thus submitted to them ; and if they find the com- plaint, or any part of it to be true, they shall so report to the Association, with their recommendation as to the action to be taken thereon. The decision of the Committee shall be served on the member complained of ; and if the decision be that the complaint, or any part thereof is true, and in that case only, the Committee shall also serve a copy of the complaint, answer and decision on the President of the Association ; and if requested by either the member or members com- plaining, or the member complained of, shall annex, thereto a copy of the evidence taken, which said documents shall be regarded as a report of the Committee to the Association. The President shall thereupon call a Special Meeting of the Association,, on a notice of not less than ten days, for the consideration of the report, specifying in the call the 16 object thereof ; and of which Special Meeting the member complained of shall have due notice. The Association shall thereupon proceed to take such action on said report as they may see fit, provided only that no member shall be expelled unless by the vote of two- thirds of the members present and voting. Whenever a trial shall be determined on, the member complained of may object peremptorily to any one or more of the Committee, not exceeding three; and the places of those objected to shall be supplied by the remaining mem- bers of the Committee for the purposes of the trial. All the foregoing proceedings shall be secret, except as their publication is hereinbefore provided for, unless other- wise ordered by the Association. XI At the stated meeting in December, in each year, a Com- mittee of nine shall be elected by ballot by the Association at large. Each member of the Association shall be per- mitted to vote for but three members of such Committee on one ballot, and the nine persons having the largest number of votes shall be such Committee. The Committee so chosen shall prepare a list of candidates for the various offices, to be voted for at the ensuing Annual Meeting, and such list shall be posted in one or more conspicuous places in the rooms of the Association, at least ten days before said election. XIL These By -Laws may be amended, at any stated meeting of the Association, by a vote of two-thirds of those present ; provided that ten days' notice, in writing, of the proposed amendment has been given to the Executive Committee.
