The following requisition, duly signed, was submitted to the Council:— 
“ To the President , Vice-President , and Council of the Pharmaceutical Society of 
Great Britain. 
“Gentlemen,—We, the undersigned, believing that it is highly desirable for the pro¬ 
tection of the public that all future Chemists and Druggists should undergo a due pro¬ 
fessional examination before commencing business, hereby request you to convene a 
General Meeting of the Members of our Society, for the purpose of considering the 
expediency of an immediate application to Parliament for an amended Pharmacy Act, by 
which (following the precedent of the Apothecaries’ Act) the legitimate interests of 
those already in business should be protected, and proper provisions made for rendering 
the examinations of future chemists by your Board a compulsory instead of an optional 
proceeding.” 
In compliance with the above requisition, it was 
Resolved—“ That a Special General Meeting of the Members of the Society be held 
on Thursday, the 17th March, at twelve o’clock precisely, and that the notice convening 
the said Meeting, with the names of the requisitionists, be announced in the ensuing 
number of the Journal.”
