tion of the Journal until the Editor of the New Series enters on his duties, and

•> 
Moved by Mr. Dymond, seconded by Mr. Stoddart, 
That it is desirable on the commencement of the New Series of the Pharmaceutical 
Journal that the proceedings of this Council be more fully reported in that and 
other Journals, and that, under regulations, Reporters be admitted to the meetings 
of the Council. 
Amendment—Moved by Mr. Abraham, seconded by Mr. Edwards, 
That this Council is of opinion that no periodical publication would afford space for 
the publication of the speeches and proceedings which occur at its meetings; that 
the adoption of the Motion would lead to partial reports, which would not allord 
the information desired; that the presence of Reporters would lead to the sup¬ 
pression of inquiries and discussions which are now common, with the result that 
such matter would be left to Committees, in which the country members could 
only partially share. 
For the Amendment— 
Messrs. Abraham, Atherton, Bottle, Bourdas, Deane, Edwards, Evans, Groves, 
Haselden, Hills, and Sandford. 
Messrs. Brady, Brown, Dymond, Reynolds, Savage, Stoddart, and Woolley.
