Office of Committee of Privy Council for Trade,
7th August, 1868.
SIR,—I am directed by the Lords of the Committee
of Privy Council for Trade to transmit to you, to be
laid before the Secretary of State for the Colonies,
the enclosed extract of a Report that has been
received from the Commissioners of Customs relative
to the examination of goods on transhipment as a
means of more effectually preventing the forgery of
Trade Marks, and to submit, for the Duke of
Buckingham's consideration, the advisability of
issuing instructions to the Customs Officers in the
British Colonies, as suggested by the Commissioners
of Customs.
I have, &c.,
ROBERT G. W. HERBERT.
The Under Secretary of State,
Colonial Office.

Extract from Report of Commissioners of Customs,
dated 28th July, 1868.
"We would, however, submit, for your Lordship's
consideration, whether the attention of the Customs
Officers in the British Colonies might not be called
to the provisions of the 161st Section of "The
Customs Consolidation Act, 1853," rendering liable
to forfeiture any articles of foreign manufacture, and
packages of such articles bearing any names, brands,
or marks being or purporting to be the names,
brands, or marks of manufacturers in the United
Kingdom, and to the 10th Section of the Act of the
last session of Parliament 30 and 31 Vict., cap. 82,
which requires the person entering goods in transit
through this country to furnish a duplicate Shipping
Bill containing the particulars of such goods, and,
as those duplicate Shipping Bills are sent with the
papers of the ship in which the goods are imported into
the British Possessions abroad, the Revenue Officers
there are thereby afforded the means of knowing
the origin of the goods, and of seizing any foreign
goods bearing British Marks, which may be imported
in the respective Colonies; and we would further
submit whether your Lordships may not think fit to
communicate with Her Majesty's Secretary of State
for the Colonies, with a view to the necessary
instructions being issued accordingly."

any packages of such articles, bearing any names,
brands, or marks, being or purporting to be the names,
brands, or marks of manufacturers resident in the
United Kingdom, shall be imported in any of the
British Possessions abroad, the same shall be for-
feited."
