THE “ SANDFORD ” TESTIMONIAL. 
A meeting was held, by permission of the Council of the Pharmaceutical 
Society, at 17, Bloomsbury Square, on Tuesday evening, the 6th of October, to 
consider a series of resolutions, passed at the Norwich meeting of the British 
Pharmaceutical Conference, and published in the September number of the 
Journal, referring to the singularly important services rendered by the Presi¬ 
dent of the Society in connection with recent pharmaceutical legislation. The 
very numerous attendance testified to the interest felt in the object of the 
meeting by all Mr. Sandford’s fellow-labourers. Daniel Hanbury, F.R.S., was 
called upon to preside. 
The following resolutions were carried unanimously :— 
Moved by Mr. Waugh, and seconded by Mr. Morson,— 
“That it is eminently desirable that a testimonial be presented to Mr. George Webb 
Sandford, President of the Pharmaceutical Society, for his able and unremitting services 
in promoting the passing of the Amended Pharmacy Act.” 
Moved by Mr. Orridge, and seconded by Mr. Horatio Pass,— 
“ That the gentlemen now present do constitute a General Committee for the purpose 
of carrying out the foregoing resolution, with power to add to their number.” 
Moved by Mr. S. C. Betty, and seconded by Mr. H. Sugden Evans,— 
“ That Mr. Frederick Barron, of the firm of Drew, Barron, and Co., Bush Lane, be 
requested to act as Chairman of the General Committee.” 
Moved by Mr. R. Reynolds (Leeds), and seconded by Mr. A. F. 
Haselden,— 
“ That Mr. Benjamin Brogden Orridge be requested to accept the office of Treasurer, 
and that Mr. ichael Carteighe, Mr. John Mackay (Edinburgh), and Mr. Henry Mat¬ 
thews, be requested to act as Honorary Secretaries.” 
After some discussion as to what would be the most appropriate form of 
testimonial, it was agreed to postpone the further consideration of the matter, 
until the first meeting of the Committee. 
The business terminated with a cordial vote of thanks to Mr. Daniel Hanbury, 
for his able and courteous conduct in the chair,—moved by Mr. T. H. Hills, 
and seconded by Mr. Henry Matthews. 
At the meeting of the Committee, on the 13th of October, Mr. Frederick 
Barron in the chair, it was resolved that the Testimonial should be both personal 
and commemorative , and that subscriptions should be at once solicited for the 
“ Sandford” Testimonial Fund.
