THE PHARMACY BOARD AND THE CO-OPERATIVE 
STORES. 
Special Report. 
The ease of Shillinglaw The Equitable Co-operative 
Society was heard in the District Court, Melbourne, on Jan. 
6, 1887, before Mr. Panton, P.M., and a bench of Magistrates. 
This was a summons which had been taken out by Mr. 
Shillinglaw, Registrar to the Pharmacy Board of Victoria, 
against the Equitable Co-operative Society, Limited, for 
carrying on the business of a Pharmaceutical Chemist without 
being duly registered. The matter was dealt with by the same 
court some months ago, and was decided in favor of the 
Company, but the Pharmacy Board took the case to the Full 
Court, by which it was remitted to the District Court for re- 
hearing. 
Mr. Emmerson, who appeared for the Pharmacy Board said 
that the matter had been dealt with by the Bench on a former 
occasion. The opinion of the Bench then was that the Board 
had sued wrongly, and the case was dismissed with £2 2s. 
costs. Upon that there was an Appeal, and the Full Court 
ordered as follows : — 
“Upon hearing Dr. Madden and Mr. Isaacs of Counsel on 
behalf of the Apellant, and Mr. Hodges and Dr. Mclnerney of 
Counsel on behalf of the Respondent, and upon reading the 
ease stated and signed by Joseph Anderson Panton, John 
McDonald, and Bear Rappiport, Esquires, three of Her 
Majesty’s Justices of the Peace acting in and for the Central 
Bailiwick, of the Colony of Victoria, this Court doth order that 
the Appeal herein he and the same is hereby allowed, and that 
the case be remitted to the Justices for re-hearing with the 
opinion of the Court thereon, that the determination of the 
said Justices was erroneous, and that upon the evidence set 
forth in the said ease the said Justices should have convicted 
the said respondent. And it is further ordered that, it be 
referred to the proper officer of this Honorable Court to tax 
the costs of the said H. W. Shillinglaw, of and occasioned by 
the said Appeal, and this order and such costs, when so taxed, 
shall be paid by the said Respondent to the said H, W. Shil- 
linglaw, or to Charles James Barrow, his Solicitor,” _ 
Mr. Emmerson said it had been agreed by the Solicitors on 
both sides to accept the evidence taken at the previous hearing. 
The point now before their Worships was this :—They had 
been put to enormous expense over the case, and had gained 
it. It was a very intricate point of law, and the case had been 
carried to the Full Court. He did not seek for a heavy 
penalty against the Store, but for one sufficient to preven 
others doing the same thing, and also for the costs of thi
