That your Memorialists find in the course of their dealings with many of the colonies of the United Kingdom, that they are far less protected against the trade frauds to which allusion has been made than in the United Kingdom itself, or in those countries between which and Her Majesty's dominions commercial treaties exist.

That in most of the British colonies the piracies complained of (and which are even greater evils to the public than to your Memorialists) continue practically unchecked. Various cases have recently come to the knowledge of your Memorialists in which the forgeries of trade marks have been perpetrated, and where the class of frauds alluded to are matters of daily occurrence, and carried on with the utmost openness, and practically with perfect impunity, a condition of things which your Memorialists have reason to be well persuaded would be materially ameliorated were the laws of the various colonies of the empire assimilated to the improved law of the mother country.

Your Memorialists humbly pray that the department over which Your Grace presides will be pleased to adopt such measures as may be necessary with a view to the Governments of the Colonies of the British Crown being moved to make the requisite amendments in their law.
