OHAP. vim] COPYRIGHT LEGISLATION 1217 by Order in Council the provisions of the Copyright Act of 1842, or of any other Acts, prohibiting the importation of foreign reprints of British copyright works as to any Colonies mn which the Legislature made due provision for securing and protecting the rights of British authors.
