"I have received the Petition of the Liverpool Chemists' Association against some of the provisions of the Sale of Poisons Bill, and will present it without loss of time. As the Bill has been referred to a Select Committee to consider its provisions in detail, I shall move that your Petition be referred to the same Committee; and if you should be inclined to depute any of your body to come up and be examined in support of your objections, I do not think the Committee would refuse to hear him. In that case however you ought not to lose any time. B. 9Second letter) a note advising haste for the Deputation since the Committee meets the following day. Note: Derby was Prime Minister 1862, 1858-9, 1866-8. He was born near Liverpool.
