The Council have also to state that the Committee ap- 
pointed to obtain a Bill of Exemptions were this year re- 
elected. Their efforts were limited this time to the obtainment 
of a Bill for exempting the members of the body corporate 
serving on juries only, giving up the point of parochial offices ;

ascertained that the feelings of the Government were so 
opposed to the granting of exemptions of any description

should be possessed by the profession, they directed their 
efforts into another channel, and endeavoured to obtain an 
enactment similar to the one secured by the Pharmaceutical 
Society, namely, that of preventing any persons, under the

but merely of restraining his using the title of “pharmaceutical
