If any college or body exercise any power it possess of striking off from its list the name of any one of its members, it shall signify his name to the general council and the said council may, if they see fit, direct the registrar to erase from the register the qualification derived from such college or body in respect of which such member was registered, and the registrar shall note the same therein, but the name of no person shall be erased from the register on the ground of his having adopted any theory of medicine or surgery (_ib._, s. 28). If any registered medical practitioner shall be convicted in England or Ireland of any felony or misdemeanor, or in Scotland of any crime or offence, or shall be after due inquiry judged by the general council to have been guilty of infamous conduct in any professional respect, the general council may, if they see fit, direct the registrar to erase the name of such medical practitioner from the register (_ib._, s. 29). Every person registered who may have obtained any higher degree or other qualification is entitled to have it inserted in the register in substitution for or in addition to his qualification previously registered, on the payment of such fee as the council may appoint (_ib._, s. 30). COMPENSATION.—No person is entitled to receive for any medical or surgical advice, or attendance, or for the performance of any operation or for any medicine which he shall have both prescribed and supplied, unless he prove upon the trial that he is registered under this act (_ib._, s. 32, as amended 23 and 24 Vict., c. 7, s. 3). DEFINITION.—The words “legally qualified medical practitioner” or “duly qualified medical practitioner,” or any words implying a person recognized by law as a medical practitioner or member of the medical profession in any act of Parliament, mean a person registered under this act (_ib._, s. 34, as amended 23 and 24 Vict., c. 7, s. 3). EXEMPTIONS.—If they so desire, registered persons are exempt from serving on juries, and in all corporation, parish, ward, hundred, and town offices, and in the militia (_ib._, s. 35). DISQUALIFICATIONS.—No unregistered person is permitted to hold any appointment as a physician, surgeon, or other medical officer in the military or naval service, or in emigrant or other vessels, or in any hospital, infirmary, dispensary, or lying-in hospital, not supported wholly by voluntary contributions, or in any lunatic asylum, jail, penitentiary, house of correction or of industry, parochial or union workhouse or poor-house, parish union, or other public established body or institution, or to any friendly or other society for affording mutual relief in sickness, infirmity, or old age, or as a medical officer of health (_ib._, s. 36, as amended 23 and 24 Vict., c. 7, s. 3).
