B., a mineral water manufacturer made use of bottles moulded with the name and address of W., another manufacturer, but caused a paper label, bearing his own name and address, to be put upon the bottles. The delivery was accompanied by an invoice, which left no doubt that B. was the vender. The magistrates dismissed the summons on the ground that B. had acted innocently. But the Queen's Bench Division held that an intent to defraud the purchaser was not an ingredient in the offence, and that B. was guilty of using a false trade description. (79) Sec. 450. Sec. 491. Punishments. Every one guilty of an of

fence defined in this Part in respect to trade marks or names, or in respect to trade descriptions or false trade descriptions for which no penalty is in this Part otherwise provided, is liable,

(a) on conviction on indictment,, to two years' imprisonment, with or without hard labor, or to a fine, or to both, imprisonment and fine; and

(b) on summary conviction, to four months' imprisonment, with or without hard labor, or to a fine not exceeding one hundred dollars; and, in case of a second or subsequent conviction, to six months' imprisonment, with or without hard labor, or to a fine 'not exceeding two hundred and fifty dollars.
