§ MR. OCTAVIUS V. MORGAN (Battersea)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that the Report and General Orders of the Commissioners of Her Majesty's Customs relating to "The Merchandize Marks Act, 1887," and contained in the Thirty-second Report on the Customs, convey the impression that in the opinion of the Commissioners the Act applies exclusively to imported manufactured articles, and not to domestic manufactures; and whether the Commissioners purpose to administer the Act in relation only to imported manufactured articles?
§ MR. JACKSONThere was no intention of conveying the impression referred to. The Commissioners of Customs are only concerned with that part of the Act which refers to imported goods, and, therefore, their Report and General Orders are restricted to the sections of the Act that are administered by them.
