THE VIVISECTION BILL.
[TO THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."] SIR,—Will you kindly permit us to announce through your- columns that, on the retirement of Mr. Holt, the charge of the Bill for the Total Abolition of Vivisection has been undertaken, at the joint request of our three Societies, by Sir J. E. Eardley- Wilmot, Bait, M.P. for South Warwickshire ?
The uprising of public interest in this subject may be ganged by the number of petitions which, even in the past brief Session, have been presented to Parliament in favour of Mr. Holt's Bill, namely, through the Victoria-Street Society, 71 petitions, with 10,899 signatures ; through the International Society, 79 peti- tions, with 19,375 signatures ; and through the Brompton-Road Society, 60 petitions, with 8,410 signatures ; total, 210 petitions,. with 38,684 signatures.—We are, Sir, &c.,
FRANCES POWER COBBE, J. C. D. MORRISON, WILLIAM ADLAII, ANN MARSTON. Office of the Society for Protection of Animals from Vivisection, March 24th, 1880.
