  7. Foreign and Colonial exhibitors should
    apply to the Commission, or other Central
    Authority appointed by the Foreign or Colonial
    Government, as soon as notice has been given
    of its appointment
  8. Her Majesty's Commissioners will
    consider that to be the Central Authority in
    each case which is stated to be so by the Go-
    vernment of its country, and will only commu-
    nicate with Exhibitors through such Central
    Body.
  9. No articles of foreign manufacture,
    to whomsoever they may belong, or where-
    soever they may be, can be admitted for
    exhibition, except with the sanction of the
    Central Authority of the country of which they
    are the produce. Her Majesty's Commissioners
    will communicate to such Central Authority
    the amount of space which can be allowed to
    the productions of the country for which it acts,
    and will also state the further conditions and
    limitations which may from time to time be
    decided on with respect to the admission of
    articles. All articles forwarded by such Cen-
    tral Authority will be admitted, provided they
    do not require a greater aggregate amount of
    space than that assigned to the country from
    which they come; and, provided also, that they
    do not violate the general conditions and limi-
    tations. It will rest with the Central Autho-
    rity in each country to decide upon the merits
    of the several articles presented for exhibition,
    and to take care that those which are sent are
    such as fairly represent the industry of their
    fellow countrymen.
  10. Separate space will be allotted to each
    Foreign Country, within which the Commis-
    sioners for that country will be at liberty to
    arrange the productions entrusted to them in
    such manner as they think best, subject to the
    condition that all Machinery shall be exhibited
    in the portion of the building specially devoted
    to that purpose, and all Pictures in the Fine
    Art Galleries, and to the observance of any
    general rules that may be laid down by Her
    Majesty's Commissioners for public convenience.
  11. By arrangements made with Her
    Majesty's Government, all Foreign or Colonial
    Goods intended for exhibition, sent and ad-
    dressed in accordance with Regulations here-
    after to be issued, will be admitted into the
    country, and allowed to be transmitted to the
    Exhibition Building without being previously
    opened, and without payment of any duty.
    But all Goods which shall not be re-exported
    at the termination of the Exhibition will be
    charged with the proper duties, under the or-
    dinary Customs' Regulations. (105-108.)*
  12. It is not the intention of Her Majesty's
    Commissioners to take any steps in reference
    to the protection of Inventions or Designs, by
    Patent or Registration, the law on these points
    having been materially simplified since 1851.
