§ The House in Committee (according to Order).
The EARL of MOUNTCASHELLwas understood to ask, whether the sale of corrosive sublimate could be prevented under the Bill?
LORD CAMPBELLsaid, that he had no difficulty in giving an opinion, legally and chemically, that corrosive sublimate was not arsenic. He was sorry to say, the statement of the noble Lord (the Earl of Carlisle) last night was quite correct. The people in parts of the country spoke of arsenic lightly. It was, in fact, a household word in their mouths. It was with much satisfaction he saw this Bill introduced to check the use of so deadly a poison.
§ Bill reported without amendment, and to be read 3a. on Monday next.
