The ANTI-PoIsoN BILL.-We stated on Tuss
day that Mr.. Miller, from the health committee
on Monday last, reported back a bill TO regulate
the sale OF poisons, together with the opinion of
the Corporation Attorney, as to the power OF the
COuhclIs 10 enact such bill" We presume

OF Aldermen that the Corporation Attorney af
nrmed ''the power of the Councils To enact sucb
