Hongkong, November 941b, Ste-I am instructed by my Committee to beg you to convey to the Commoder: their thanks for the trouble he has taken in connection with the rewards proposed to be given by this Chamber from the Plenic'e Rack Fund for laformation feading to the discovery of bidden danges on the cost of Chins,
My Committee at the sime time desire me to
"Since trade marks are recognised through. Tay that their idea of the amount to be awarded out the world, and not merely in the manufaela cach care is a maximum of $ts for an laser's own country, en fadicastwo of his goods, Important danger and lesser sums in the so that the sub-cts of any country are liable to discretion of the distributor for those of minor be defrauded by goods bearing an Imitation of a Importance. to
elga tride mirk, and any manufacturer fi liable to suffer by the forgery of his marks abroad, the right of property in a trade mară fe not limited by tirrtiorial bounds,"
I take it, the Trade Marks Ordinance (16 ni 1873) was pisted primarily, to enable a person postested of a trade mark, who wished to take proceedings in Hongkong to protect his rights, to be able to procure the decessary evidence of his rights by the simple method of local regis- tration. No doubt the Ordlaxnce allowed ulio local registration of local trade marks not regis- tered elsewhere.
Bat le order to obtain registration here, the applicant must (by Ordinance 10 of 1805) wear that he is, to the best of his belief, en titled, solely, or jointly with some other person named in the affidavit, to the exclusive use of such Trade Mark. It is difficult to see how auch an affidavit can be made by "A" when “B” is the registered owner in England, unless "A" is unawaza of the fact; and, if the affidavit should be made laadvertently, it would, as it seems to me, constitute a good groszd for #cancellation" after registration (under section 8 of the Ordinance); that in point of last, "B" was duly registered in England prior to the application here, and that, therefore, "A" waS not endiled to the exclasive use of such trade mark, and his offiivit was made la entor, or was false.
Registration here is therefore only prima facts evidence of the right to the tride mark, and therefor evidence of a prior subslating registration in England would appear to me to be admisible to defeat the prima facie prest of the local register.

As regards (4) the question of cattleg flostrations of the trade marks of which registration is asked to be published in the Gazzle with the notices, this was considered in 1895 when Ordinance 20 of 1895 was passed. It was thought the cast would be considerable, chien requiring dies to be sent from England and delay in printing; and considering that Victoria is a small city and practically represents Hongkong, notice that the trade mask could be seen at the Colonial Secretary's office would afford sufficient city to those faterested to Inspect the makes applicants were desirous of registering. Some of the Chinese trade marks, too, would certainly be difficult to describe clearly.

to believe that many unknown planache rocks exist on the coast of Chins, I am Instructed by my Commillee to bring to the ice of Commo- dore Holland the fact that this Chamber has t Its disposal Fund subscribed in 1888, and now amounting to over $3000, established for the purpose of giving rewards to fishermen and others who report to the Authorities the existence of any of these hidden dangers hitherto unknown. It was believed, at the time that the Planada Rock Food was started, that, if sufficient inducement were offered, much valuable information might be obtained from the native fihermen on the The Most Noble The Margals of Sallabary, coast, who may be supposed to be well ac- quainted with the praicion of these obstacles to afe navigation. So far, however, Kitle call has best made on the Fund, peasibly owing to the existence of such rewards no having been made sufficiently known among the Chinese seafaring population; and to the fact that no vessel of H.M's. Navy has been a regular sarvoying daly on the coast for some yazıs

TRE BURD STREET MURDER
CASE.
The four men charged with the gang robbery and murder fa Boid Street were again brought up on remand to-day.
Soms evidence of a Chinese winess was taken who deposed that all the prisoners spoke in the Kung Tux dialect, when in his company, and before the robbery. They spoke in low tones and sald they had better go at 9 o'clock. Witness car cured his evidenes given on a former occa- sion and sild that what he now sword was true. This was the witness who had lets the flat abore the shops to some of the prisoneIS,
Evidence was given by Inspector Duncan as to the property found on the prisoners and this officer recognised one of the." dollars produced found on one of them.
In answer to the usual queatlon before com- milial the frit prisoner said he would make no statement,
The second prisoner said he was a newcomer from the country and did not know the other
The third prisoner said he had done nothing of the kind as alleged and asked his Worship to deal with the case.
The fourth man said he had done nothing of the kind. He was subjected to serious Identification but was not identified at all. He was identified only because the constable pushed him forward. At one time a witness idèntified the constables and, therefore, they were the the tblaves. He asked not to be committed for trial as he would die.
At Captain May's suggestion the prisoners wern asked if they wished to call witness: The first prisoner sald be knew no one in Hongkong. The others, except the third, sald there were foht's but they did not I they were present,
A witness for the third prisoneraald he was his consin. Wileasa was a 'constable employed by the Mandarin at Chinese Kowloon. Prisoner came up from the country to Sdd work and became a hawker of olives. He came up to bis other brothel In Cirealar Pathway to Hvc. Frisoner had acted as constable for witness whh the knowledge ol his head officer. He asked that Enquiries! be made to show whether the prisoner was a bad man or not. Primozer cama over here to buy things so the head officer knew it. Witness had spoken to the headman about coming to the magistrate but he told him to wall till the caSO was decided, He tree of no enmity betweeq the other witreises and pelsoner.
-Anoth's witness, a coppersmith, was called for the third delendaat. He stated that he knew the third defendant as being a constable la Kowloon City. The defendant came to his house to sit down on the 16th inst, and before this he last saw him in Kowloon City on the 13th.. The four prisoners were commitied for trial.
was sufficiently stipulated for the five per cont. of this total amount to enable him under the cir- cumstances that had occurred to obtain the full payment of the five per cent. In the agreement there was no explicit undertaking either by the Kwang Hop Wo or by the plaintiff, and there was no impiled silpulation that the Kwong Hop Wo should complete the contract. Counsel than read the contract' and belore doing so be said that it had been before the Court so many times that it was almost a fixture, (Laughter.) After reading it conarel uald that the contractors did not undertake or blad themselves to Tam Chak U to complete or carry out the contract nor did Tam Chak U guarantee. Thla was a case in which the defendant got somebody else sa guarantee the contract and the agreement between the defendant and plaintiff was simply on the question of remuneration.
Judgment was deferred.

The Chief Justice-I suppose you have con- aldered that the controversy between the parties Is one of law.
A large piorilon of the produce trade la done by us for irrival and contracted for to be' shipped by a specified date; you will thereicie well andere and how important this matter is, and we hope your Chamber wil' Intimate to all ship owners that they must take steps to pre- serve the integally of a bill of lading at any cost.

I deshe also to allude to the practice of signing three, four, or more, bills of lading, which leads to trouble in dealleg with shipping documents for produce sold, and which apprair to us to be ships agents and captains to sign only two, we unnecessary. I instructions could be given to thing that it would be sufficient, and opportant thes for fraud would be miafmlrd.
We deslie also to draw auration to the Importance of specifying on masters receipts or bills of lading any damage or delective condi. tion that may be apparent in goods received-on board, not in general terms but by staling nom ber and, i positble, marks of packages so damaged. A very large businest is carried on: In these days on fo.b. and cost height terms, the damage on goods being for the account of the buyers after shipment, bat for seller's ac caust if it occurs before shipment
