land shall, within three calendar months after its forma¬ 
tion, appoint a fit and proper person to act as Registrar

termined by any bye-law to be made by the General 
Council of the Apothecaries’ Hall of Dublin, or by the 
Council of the Pharmaceutical Society, as the case may 
be, provided always, such fees or charges shall at no 
time exceed the fees laid down respectively in each case 
in Schedule (A) to this Act annexed, and such fee shall

registered persons who shall have died, and from time to 
time to make the necessary alterations in the addresses 
of the persons registered under this Act. To enable the 
registrar duly to fulfil the duties imposed upon him, it 
shall be lawful for the registrar to write a letter to any 
registered person, addressed to him according to his ad¬ 
dress on the registrar, to inquire whether he has ceased 
to carry on business, or has changed his residence, such 
letter to be forwarded by post as a registered letter, 
according to the Post-Office regulations for the time be¬ 
ing ; and if no answer shall be returned to such letter

from date thereof, it shall be lawful to erase the name 
of such person from the register, provided always, that 
the same may be restored by direction of the Council of 
the Apothecaries’ Hall of Dublin, or of the Council of 
the Pharmaceutical Society, as the case may happen to 
be, should they think fit to make an order to that effect.

persons authorized by this Act to be registered, nor un¬

the person claiming is entitled to be registered; and 
any appeal from the decision of the registrar may be de¬ 
cided by the Council of the Apothecaries’ Hall of Dub¬ 
lin, or of the Pharmaceutical Society, as the case may 
be; and any entry which shall be proved to the satis¬ 
faction of such Council to have been fraudulently or in¬ 
correctly made, may be erased from, or amended in, the 
register, by order in writing of such Council. 
10. The registrar shall, in the month of January, in 
every year, cause to be printed, published,? and sold a

students, apprentices, and assistants, and in such registers 
respectively the names shall be in alphabetical order, 
according to the surnames, with the respective resi¬ 
dences, in the foi’m set forth in schedule (B) to this Act, 
and such printed registers shall be called “ The Regis¬ 
ters of Pharmaceutical Chemists, and of Pharmaceutical 
Students, Apprentices, and Assistants for Ireland,” and 
a printed copy of such registers for the time being, pur¬ 
porting to be so printed and published as aforesaid, or 
any certificate under the hand of the said registrar, and 
countersigned by the Governor or two members of the 
Council of the Apothecaries’ Hall of Dublin, or by the 
President or two members of the Pharmaceutical Society, 
shall be evidence in all courts, and before all justices of 
the peace, and others, that the persons therein specified 
are registered according to the provisions of this Act, 
and the absence of the name of any person from such 
printed register shall be evidence, until the contrary 
shall be made to appear, that such person is not regis¬ 
tered according to the provisions of this Act. 
11. Any registrar who shall wilfully make, or cause 
to be made, any falsification in any matter relating to 
the said registers, and any person who shall wilfully 
procure, or attempt to procure, himself to be registered 
under this Act, by making or producing, or causing to 
be made or produced, any false or fraudulent representa¬ 
tion or declaration, either verbally or in writing, and 
any person aiding or assisting him therein, shall be 
deemed guilty of a misdemeanour, punishable by fine or 
imprisonment, and shall, on conviction thereof, be sen¬ 
tenced to be imprisoned for any term not exceeding 
twelve months. 
12. Every registrar of deaths in Ireland, on receiving 
notice of the death of any pharmaceutical chemist, or 
pharmaceutical student, apprentice, or assistant, shall 
forthwith transmit by post to the registrar under this 
Act a certificate, under his own hand, of such death, with 
the particulars of the time and place of death; and on 
receipt of such certificate, the said registrar under this 
Act shall erase the name of such deceased pharmaceutical 
chemist, or student, apprentice, or assistant, as the case 
may be, from the register, and shall transmit to the said 
registrar of deaths the cost of such certificate and trans¬ 
mission, and may charge the cost thereof as an expense 
of his office.
