The Trademark of the Low Moor Iron Company was registered on 27 Jan. 1879 (see file for Gazette of that Date, Notification No. 19). I cannot gather from Ord. 16 of 1873 and the Schedule of Fees thereunder what (if anything) should be paid on transfer of such Registration to "Low Moor Company Limited"; but I expect the Attorney General will want his usual fee ($25) for reporting.

The applicant has applied for the title and that the Attorney General will also consider itself entitled to charge $25 as if it were a fresh Registration. But the charge in that case seems excessive.

? Send copy (with encl.) to fw., suggesting that the Schedule be amended by adding a scale of fee to be applied in this case, and that such fee be fixed at Agent's rates (say ... to meet such cases).

I have received the fee £10.8.4 in respect of Wilkinsmis Trademark. I inform M. Johnson that it will be referred to fur.

The writer suggests to Mr. Johnson that to avoid delay in the Registration, it would be better to pay £10.8.4 in respect of the Low Moor Company's Trademark, understanding that if a lower rate is fixed, the balance will be returned to him.

GR927/3

[As the Att. Gen. is in future not to have private practice, should he be allowed to receive his extravagant fee in connection with Registration of Trademarks? We might take this opportunity to suggest abolishing the Attorney General's fee altogether as soon as the present holder of that office retires?]

1. Point out to Mr. Johnson that the Colonial Ordinance does not appear to provide for transfer.

2. Consult fw. in a separate despatch - The fee is not extravagant as far as the Attorney General is concerned, he would get as much for advising any private client.
