That the result of the interview of the Parliamentary 
Committee with the Right Hon. AV. E. Forster is

felt objection to the proposed amended Pharmacy 
Bill, this Council determines to oppose the passing 
of such a measure in the House of Commons. 
Amendment, moved by Mr. Sandford, seconded by 
Mr. Groves,— 
That it is undesirable that this Council should commit 
itself to such decided opposition to the Bill; and that 
the course, proposed at the last special meeting of

and preventing the passing of obnoxious clauses, 
should be continued, the more especially as this 
course affords an opportunity of obtaining advan¬ 
tages for chemists generally.

Messrs. Atherton, Betty, Bottle, Brown, Greenish,

On the original motion being again put, the following 
Amendment was moved by Mr. Groves, seconded by Mr.

ing the Bill in a more favourable light.

and AVilliams.

ings, were a source of congratulation to the Council.
