The monthly meeting of the Pharmacy Board of Victoria was held at the 
College of Pharmacy, Swanston-street, on Wednesday, the 10th February, 1886. 
The president (Mr. C. Blackett) was in the chair. 
The registrar read the return made to him by the returning officer of the 
newly-elected members of the Board, who were introduced and took their seats. 
The members present were Messrs. Blackett, Bowen, Brind, Francis, Owen, 
Strutt, and Tompsitt. 
The minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed. 
The president then left the chair, which, on the motion of Mr. Bowen, 
was taken by Mr. Brind. 
APPOINTMENT OF PEESIDENT. 
Mr. Tompsitt said, — “ I have great pleasure in proposing the re-appointment, 
for the ensuing year, of Mr. C. B. Blackett as president of this board. I feel 
satisfied that the gentlemen who have sat with Mr. Blackett during his late 
presidency must have a high appreciation of the efficient and able manner in 
which he has performed his duties. The coming year will be an important 
one, and I trust that Mr. Blackett will consent to again accept a position, for 
the third time, that he has filled with so much credit to himself and satisfaction 
to his colleagues. ” The motion was seconded by Mr. Bowen and carried 
unanimously. 
The chair was then vacated by Mr. Brind, and was taken by Mr. Blackett, 
who briefly returned thanks for the honour conferred on him. 
ELECTION OF HONOEAEY TEEASUEEE. 
Mr. Brind said, — “ It affords me great pleasure to move the re-appointment 
of Mr. H. T. Tompsitt as treasurer.” The motion was seconded by Mr. 
Francis, and carried unanimously. 
After a few words from Mr. Tompsitt, the ordinary business was proceeded 
with. 
APPLICATIONS FOE EEGISTEATION. 
Mr. William Padley, of 170 Clarendon- street, South Melbourne, the holder 
of a Minor Examination certificate from the Pharmaceutical Society of Great 
Britain, was duly registered. 
The application of Mr. Geo. A. Dimock was considered. This was a renewal 
of an application made in 1879. On that occasion the Board declined to 
register the applicant, and, after again reconsidering the matter, saw no reason 
to alter the former decision. 
The application of Mr. John Duncan, of Bairnsdale, was also submitted to 
the Board. Mr. Duncan based his claim for registration on having passed the 
Preliminary Examination in England, having served an apprenticeship, and been 
an assistant in England before the passing of the Pharmacy Act of Victoria 
1876. After considering the case the Board decided that Mr. Duncan would 
require to pass the Modified Examination.
