a Licenciate of your Body, was judged to have been guilty
of infamous conduct in a professional respect, and I was

Letter from A. J. Cockington on behalf of the General Council of Medical Education & Registration for the United Kingdom regarding the case of Dr Ulick Joseph Burke. Burke's name has been erased from the Medical Register as he was 'judged to have been guilty of infamous conduct in a professional respect.' The letter was addressed to the registrar of the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland (RCPI). In 1916 this position was occupied by Alfred Miller (1884-1949). Miller served as both the registrar of the Royal College of Surgeons (1910-1938) and as secretary to the Conjoint Board of the College of Physicians and College of Surgeons. At the outbreak of the Rising Miller instructed James Duncan, the college porter, to lock the college doors in order to deter Michael Mallin's occupying rebel force in St. Stephen's Green.
