 Each of the Committees named in the foregoing By-Law

 nually by the President of the Association, and shall con- 
 tinue in office until the annual meeting of the Association 
 next after their appointment, and until their successors are 
 appointed, with power to fill vacancies and to adopt rules 
 for their own government. 
 
 Any Standing Committee of the Association may by rule 
 provide that three successive absences from the meetings of 
 the Committee, unexcused, shall be deemed a resignation by 
 the member so absent of his place upon the Committee. 
 
 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

 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.
