JURY LISTS. 
Members of the Society are reminded that Churchwardens and Overseers receive, 
during the month of July, the precept to return lists of persons qualified to serve on 
juries for the ensuing year; that in August such lists are prepared and affixed to the 
church doors, etc. Pharmaceutical Chemists should see that their names are not inserted 
in such lists, and, if inserted, should attend on the day of appeal and present their legal 
certificate of registration and exemption ; such certificate may be obtained from the Re¬ 
gistrar of the Society on payment of Is. A copy of the Juries Act was published in 
the September number of the Journal and Transactions, 1862.

of the Society) to become Members without examination. 
Early Closing and Sunday Duty. —Mr. E. Bridger, Mitcham, observes :—“ We see in 
the ‘ Times ’ several notices upon early closing, but I have not seen anything appertain¬ 
ing to that subject in your Journal. I know several assistants who have entirely left 
the trade on account of this evil, which I feel convinced could easily be remedied, but it 
seems that druggists are peculiarly afraid of the smallest degree incommoding the public. 
I should like to ask one question, viz., What advantages are there in the drug trade ? ”
