A well-timed little pamphlet has estfad, "Oa
Fraudulent Trade Marks," by Mr. Jam M.e•*
It is a reprint of • paper read at the • ti ibe
Metropolitan and Provincial Lim Aamod at
Worcester. It will be remembered thattiaTenb
Marks Bill, which paned the House of Lords is the
last session of parliament, was withdrawn by do
President of the Board of Trade when it came into
' committee in the Commons, with notice tint it
would be re-introduced " the first thing ant
session, and referred to a select committee.°
The object of the pamphlet is to indicate ee d
the points to which attention will have to be direeledi
in dealing with any bill to be hereafter introduced
in lieu of that so recently withdrawn. The subject,
which is of great practical importance, is treated in
a way at once sensible and unassuming. The con-
clusions at which the writer arrives are stated as
follows:

1. That false labelling as to quantity, length, or Elm ill
manufacturer or owner be punished criminally in Ws IMO
of the maker, end that the vender be also criminally re-
sponsible if he sells or exposes for sale, know's/ el an
false labelling and with intent to defraud. 2. Tbst lhs
fraudulent tee of trade marks, not comics under whet I
have defined as false labelling, shall be nude ILble le a
pwil action, sod that if it be made subject to the Marisa
law at all, then that for the first offence it be made bale le
a penal action, and for any repetition thereof, alter j
meat shall be recorded against the defendant in the pawed
ac:iuu, it shall be subject to criminal punishment. S.
proper provisions be made for conventions with fore*
countries upon this subject.
