THE-CASE Of TAUFIK RAAD.
A FINE IMPOSED..
In the City Court yesterday Mr. A. S.
Roe. P.M., gave his decision in the case of
Taufik Raad, charged with having on July
28 last, he not being a pharmaceutical
chemist or a legally qualified medical prac-
tioner, used the sign "chemist," which could
be construed that he was qualified as a
pharmaceutical chemist. Mr. Roe said he had
seen defendant's premises and defendant
himself had interviewed him. Mr. Raad
had again expressed himself willing to do
anvthing in reason to meet the wishes of
the Pharmaceutical Society. He (Mr. Roe)
told defendant that he considered the word
"chemist" in conjunction with defendant's
name constituted an offence against.the Act.
"I have to bear in mind." continued the
magistrate. "that defendant has already
been fined for what is practically the same
offence. I think, therefore, that the ends
of iustice will be met by a nominal fine of
10s. I would again suggest that a confer
ence be held between Mr. Raad and, say,
Mr. Mayhew, representing the Pharmaceu
tical Council to see if the matter cannot be
arranged."
Mr. J. Moss. who appeared for the prose
cution. said that the Board required that
it should be met openly. not by subterfuge.
Mr. Roe said that he also bore in mind
that the defendant had stated after the pre
vious prosecution he was led to believe by
the society that a conference would take
place. No one. however, he said, had
turned up
Mr. Moss: That. is not so. I went there
with the authoritv of the Council. That
was quite sufficient.
Mr. Roe: I do not wish to say anything
disrespectful. but you were not sufficient in
a case like this.
Defendant was fined l0s. and 23s. costs.
"I do not think we need have any further trouble with Mr Raad" concluded Mr Roe.
