The Yokohama Foreign Board of Trade has sent the following communication to the press: -References have lately been made in the European and American Press with regard to the infringement of foreign trademarki. The subject is one which has been under careful consideration and investigation by the Com- and a circluar was issued on the sub- ject in June, special attention being then die rected to the necessary methods of procedure in cases of infringement. The Committes has now been specially requested by Mr. Hisamoto, of the Pateni Bureau, to make known as widely-as possible its earnest desire to secure to every one the full protection accorded by the law. Many of the difficulties which have arisen are due to the neglect of foreign merchants and manufacturers in not registering their marks in Japan. The Bureau is thus unable to detect Infringements, and in this way rights are tëï"} gistered which afterwards become the subject of dispute. According to the Trade-iks Law Article Claus No. 5. trade marks caapot be registered if they are identical with, or similar 10, marks used by another before the operation of the Trade Mark Law which came into force on July 1, 1899, provided always that such trade marke have since coolinuad in use. In order to prevent, as far as it may be possible, the difficulties arising from infringement of old established trade marks, the Patent Bureau will be glad to receive particulars for fis records of all trade marks which are still in use and were in existence and use prior to July 1, 1899. In this manger it is hoped to minimize the possibility of infringement, but success in this respect requires that all who value, their trademark should assist by supply..

The Committee of the Yokohama foreign Board of Trade is of opinion that this sugges tion offered by Mr. Hisamote, of the Patent Bureau, is of an extremely liberal character and hope that it will receive the widest pes. sible. circulation by all who are in any way interested,

His Lordship-Perhaps you are suing for more than you are entitled to. The dollar is higher.
Mr. Grist-Perhaps so, your Lordship, but that matter can be adjusted.
The defence, Mr. Grist observed, deny en- gaging the plaintiff, or that they undertook to 'provide him with board and lodging. It seemed that the defendauts had an interest in a miniog concession in Borneo. They' tried to float a company in Hongkong, and in pegotiating the business they found they required a master mariner to take charge of a g host to go down to Borneo, and also to act as pilot, Plaintiff was then engaged to do that work. Witnesses he would cell to show that plaintiff was actually engaged by the defendants. The concession, he said, belonged to Macmillan, but it was in the name of Aiken.
