Witness : I got this in reply from the Secretary of the Company. 
Letter produced and read by Mr. Isaacs, as follows * — 
“ Equitable Co-operative Society, Limited, 
“89 Collins-street East, Melbourne, 22nd January, 1886. 
“ H. Shillinglaw, Esq., Registrar Pharmacy Board. 
“ Dear Sir, — I am in receipt of your letter of the 11th inst., drawing our attention 
to the 10th section of the Amended Pharmacy Act 1885, and have to intimate to you 
that we shall be happy to comply with the provisions of this section if you will kindly 
drop a line saying in what way compliance is required on our part, and whether there 
has hitherto been any reason to find fault with our past action in relation thereto. — Yours 
truly, “ W. NUTTALL, Secretary.” 
Witness: After that I called on Mr. Nuttall at the Society’s office. I had a conver- 
sation with Mr. Nuttall with reference to what would be compliance with the Act. He 
asked me what would be compliance with the Act, and I pointed out and told him that 
compliance with the Act would be to discontinue what he was at present doing — 
dispensing prescriptions, and that portion of the business which constituted an infringe- 
ment of the Act. I told him that the Company could not carry on business under the 
Act. On the 28th of April I received this letter, dated 27th April, 1886.

Cecil-street, South Melbourne. Will you please say by bearer if any other address has 
been furnished you by him, and if so, what address. We believe another has been 
furnished. Your kind attention will oblige. — Pro the Society,
