IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

ROUSE OF COMMONS. July 2.
PH \R%IACY BILL.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
Mr. HENLEY was quite willing to believe that many
fatal mistakes bad been committed by chemists and
druggists in the preparation of physicians' prescriptions,
but he doubted much wnetber those mistakes occurred
in the small shops, which this Bill contemplated sup-
pressing; the Bill:however, was defective in its details.
As it sto td it was perfectly inoperative, because it would
be d.fficult to tell what was meant by " pharmaceutical
chenal.t," the term which the Bill proposed to apply to
those who were authorised to preetise under its provi-
sions. At present some members of the profession called
themselves dispensing chemists and druggises, others
simply chemist., and others druggists; end he should be
glad to kuow which of those classes the Bill proposed to
embrace.
Mr. BELL said they all belonged to one clefts, though
sailed be ditf,r• nt names.
Mr. HENLEY seid his obj action remained still the
same, eeterttbe sudine that ex elenaion, because the
Hon. Member told th,:m that the 8.11 was not to inter-
fere witn the sale of comoion drug., provided they were
not son for meckcinel purposes, and there would be
great difficulty in deciding what was and what was not
sold for purpol,.s —(Hear, hear.)
Sir G. GREY was afraid there WAS no chance of
passing this Bill in its present shape, and he would
theretore recommend the lien. Gentleman not to pro
seed with it. All legislation ought to be with the full
consent and knowledge of the profession, and if the
Honourable Member would allow the subject to be
delayed until they were better informed upon it, he
should have no objection to allow the Bill to be read a
second time, and committed pro forma, with the view
of introducing amendments, on the understanding that
it was not carried further this session.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. CARDWELL fully approved of the object of the
Bill; but the House was not sufficiently informed upon the
matter to allow them to legislate upon it, and be would
therefore recommend the Hon. Gentleman to accept the
offer of the Right Hon. the Secretary of State, or refer
the Bill to a Select Committee.
Mr. EWART supported the Bill.
Mr. BELL said he was willing to accept the pro-
posal of the Right Honourable the Secretary of State,
and if the Bill was read a second time, and committed,
be would undertake not to proceed further with it.
Mr. HENLEY wished to know whether it was to be
referred to a Committee of the whole House, or a Com-
mittee up stairs.
Mr. BELL said the Bill would be committed pro
forma and printed with the amendments. He did not
propose to refer it to a Select Committee this session,
though he might do so next.
The Bill was then read a second time and order to be
committed.
Tie Coroners' Bill was postponed until this day fort-
night.
PU3LIC HOUSES (SCOTLAND) BILL.
On the motion for the second reading of this Bill,
Mr. FORBES MACKENZIE said it was not his in-
tention to proceed with this Bill after it had been read
a second time pro Jorruct. It was highly desirable,
however, that the consumption of spirituous liquors
in Scotland should, if possib:e, be reduced, and next
session he proposed to introduce a similar Bill with the
view of referring it to the consideration of a Select Com•
mittee.
Mr. ELLIOT objected to the Bill in principle, but he
should not oppose the motion fur the second reading.
Mr. FIUME could not understand the lion. Member.
What did he mean by objecting to every point of the
Bill, and then stating that he should not oppose the
second reading? 'rho 8.11 was an unwarrantable int-re
ference with trade, and he would move that it should Le
read a sec .'ad time this day six months.
Mr. EWARr opposed the Bill, and suggested that, as
it was not intended to proceed with it, the motion for the
second reading ought to he withdrawn.
Mr. MACKENZIE declined to do that.
L 1 DUNCAN said it was an unwarrantable waste
of public time to discuss this Bill, when it was nut in-
tended to proceed with it.
The LORD ADVOCATE thought the Bill ought
to be withdrawn at once.
Mr. FORI:IES said the consumption of spirits in
Scotian I had ben very much txeggerated, and us he ob
jected to the Bill both in principle and detail, he should
certainly support the amendment.
Mr. F. AIACKENZIE, seeing the feeling of the
House was against him, would nut put Hon. Members
to the trouble of dividing, but with permission he would
withdraw the Bill.
The motion and amendment were accordingly with-
drawn.
