Colonial Secretary's Office,

HongKong, 4th.May, 1900.

Gentlemer,

烨

I am directed to acknowledge the receipt of

your letter of the 23rd.March in which you allege that one

of Messrs Siemssen and Company's trademarks is a copy of

your label for mustard, and to inform you that as you have

neither registered your trade mark in this Colony nor trans-

mitted a copy of it for inspection, it is impossible for this

Government to take any action in the matter.

I am to state however that the Colonial Office

would no doubt permit you to see a copy of the HongKong

Trade Marks Ordinance and Rules: if you are unable to obtain

a copy elsewhere, and you can then take such steps in the

matter as are recommended by your legal adviser.

I have etc,

(Sd.)F.H.May,

Acting Colonial Secretary.
