We must know at once by wire whether we are to proceed and protect Messrs Marsland's interest in this matter. .....As far as we know Messrs Meyerink have the right of user on their side, as they brought the ticket into the market before Messrs Marsland, but their mark is clearly an infringement of Messrs Marsland's rights.........

As a supplement to the foregoing we may add that Messrs Marsland's "Horseshoe" mark if not so well known in the Hong Kong market has long been known in other Eastern markets and it thus appears to us that the Messrs Meyerink in question who are importers in Hong Kong of Belgian goods, have adopted and now desire to secure to themselves permanently the "Horseshoe mark of Messrs Marsland, being stimulated to do so by the fact that Messrs Marsland have opened out to some extent this year in the Hong Kong market.
Our object in attending at the Colonial Office on 5th instant was to ascertain whether it could not act in some way to protect an English manufacturer's marks, and we are now only following up the recommendation then given us to bring the facts before you.
