sir,

I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of

your despatch No.97 of the 10th.ultimo, enclosing copies of

correspondence with Messrs. C. and E. Morton relating to an

alleged imitation of their label, and to state in reply that

this matter had previously been brought to my notice in a

letter, a copy of which I enclose,from: Messrs. Morton to the

Acting Colonial Secretary.

The Governor in Council has power under the

: Trade-marks Ordinance (No.18.of 1898) to cancel the registra-

tion of a mark on such grounds as he may consider sufficient;

: but it is obvious that the mere allegations contained in the

: letter of Messrs. Morton could not be considered sufficient

grounds for such action, and accordingly I caused the letter

or which I enclose a copy to be addressed to them.

RIGHT MONOURABLE

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most Obedient,

dumble Servant,

By Gang

Major-General,

Administering the Government.
