The Lodging-house Syndicate report (Dec. 10, 1860):

persons in statu pupillari to reside in the town in their own
or in hired houses, or with their relations or others, under
special circumstances.

Now, though it is clear that the Syndicate are empowered
to grant such permission prospectively, it is doubtful whether
they have power to do so retrospectively: and consequently it
is doubtful whether that part of a Term, which has elapsed
before the permission of the Syndicate has been granted, can
be reckoned as kept by a person in statu pupillari under
these special circumstances.

The Syndicate therefore recommend

That authority should be given to the Syndicate to extend their permission, in such cases, backwards so far as to spective per- include the whole of the current Term in which such permission is applied for, and granted, but no farther backwards.

DISCOMMUNING.

The Council of the Senate report (April 2, 1857):

mended,

The Council are of opinion that, as well for securing to Rules recomtradesmen the regular payment of just and lawful debts, as for the maintenance of good order and discipline among students, the repression of extravagance, and the prevention of large debts, or debts with long extension of credit, it is highly necessary that rules should be made for regulating the dealings of persons in statu pupillari with tradesmen or others, and that compliance with such rules should be enforced by discommuning on the one hand and by the infliction of academical punishments on the other.

The Council think it desirable

That the Edicts publicly proclaiming these rules should have the sanction and authority of the Senate, being submitted for adoption by Grace in every instance.

The Council further recommend

That the Vice-Chancellor and major part of the Heads of Colleges should be entrusted, as heretofore, with the duty of enquiring into all cases in which the rules thus sanctioned by the Senate are alleged to have been infringed, or not complied with, by persons who are not members of the University, and of discommuning those against whom such infringement or failure of compliance shall be proved; notice being given in every case to the person in respect to whom the power of discommuning is proposed to be exercised, in order that he may attend, if he think fit, to shew that the rules have not been infringed, or to explain the circumstances under which they have been infringed.
