Lieutenant-Governor, No. 14,

HELIGOLAND.
No application for a Patent right is required in Heligoland.
Proof before the Court that such right had been established in England would be held to be suffi- ~ cient.
The Court would then be open to the patentee to prevent the infringement of his Patent rights.
The Court fee would be 5 marks, if sitting, or 10 marks for a special session; and an extra expense, according to the length, not exceeding 10 marks, for the Protocol.

MALTA AND GOZO.
Mr. Crown Advocate Dingle.-There is no law in
Governor, No. 76, August 12, 1856. these islands regulating Patents, and it is consc- quently impossible to state in general what might be the documents which might be required to enable an inventor or British patentee to make a proper application for a Patent right in these islands, or what fees and expenses might be incurred.
The power
of granting a Patent right resides in the Legislature, and in the absence of a law estab. lishing general rules, it is for the Legislature in each particular case to settle all questions incidental to an application for such rights.
