list consists of those poisons in common use, for example,
ammonia, carbolic disinfectants, sulphuric and nitric acids, spirits
of salts, salts of lemon, insecticides, and also certain forms of
arsenic and mercury used in agriculture. These may be sold only
by "authorised sellers of poisons," i.e. registered pharmacists,
and also those persons whose names are entered on a list which
is to be kept in the prescribed manner by a local authority. This
list includes the names of persons who are not entitled to sell those
poisons included in Part I of the poisons list, but who are entitled
to retail those poisons included in Part II of the poisons list—
for example, ironmongers, oilmen, garage keepers, seedsmen,
nurserymen, and agriculture merchants. The fee to be paid for

the original entry in the local authority's list is 7s. 6d., and for
the annual renewal of such entry the fee is 5s.
The Act imposes upon the local authority the duty of enforcing
the provisions of Part II and of the rules made under the Act,
in so far as they relate to Part II of the Poisons List, and this
duty includes the keeping of a list of persons other than "authorised
sellers of poisons." Power is given to the local authority to refuse
to enter in, or remove from, the list of names, the name of any
person provided that the authority has sufficient reason for its
action.
Part III. This part deals with the inspector and sampling.
