6. Arrangements will be made by the Govern-
   ment of India for the supply of carefully dried stems,
   and specimens of fibre separated from the bark, but
   subjected to no other process, to mechanical firms
   and others desirous of competing, on application to
   the Secretary to the Government of India in the
   Home Department.

7. All machinery, &c., must be brought by the
   competitors, at their own charge, to a locality which
   will be notified hereafter, probably in the North-west
   Provinces or the Punjab, and there worked under
   the supervision of their own representatives for a
   sufficient time to enable the judges appointed by
   Government to determine whether all the conditions
   named have been complied with. The prize machine
   is to be transferred, if required, to Government at
   5 per cent. above cost price; the patent right in any
   such machine to be also transferred, if required,
   to Government, on the latter securing to the patentee
   a royalty of 5 per cent. on the cost price of all machines
   manufactured under the patent during its currency.

8. One year from the date of this advertisement
   will be allowed for the preparation of the machines,
   and their transport to the locality named for the
   competition, and the trials will then be made, and
   the decision of the judges announced. If no inven-
   tion of sufficient merit is received in the above-named
   period to obtain the prize offered, the Government
   will continue to allow machines to be tendered for
   trial till the end of two years from the same date,
   after which, or on the award of the prize, the offers
   herein made will be withdrawn.

By order of the Governor-General in Council.

Secretary to the Government of India.

Intent to injure or defraud particular persons need not be
stated in any Indictment.

60. It shall be sufficient in any indictment for any
    offence against this Act, where it shall be necessary
    to allege an intent to injure or defraud, to allege that
    the party accused did the act with intent to injure or
    defraud (as the case may be), without alleging an
    intent to injure or defraud any particular person,
    and on the trial of any such offence it shall not be
    necessary to prove an intent to injure or defraud any
