Barr (Canterbury) moved, "That tie Government be urged to pass an Act making it compulsory that all good? manufactured in the colony be stamped 'made in "New Zealand,' and that all goods made in factories or warehouses should be stamped with the name of the actual manufacturer." Mr. Barr exhibited a lady's ehoe which he had bought in Christchurch, and which, was stamped with the name of the Auckland manufacturing firm in French. In this way he declared locally-made boots and shoes were sold as of French manufacture to people who would' not believe that the article could be made an well in this colony. The motion was adopted.
