COMMERCIAL  INTELLIGENCE  COMMITTEE  :

The  Committee  cannot  conclude  their  Report  without  recording  their  high
appreciation  of  the  services  of  Mr.  Thomas  Worthington,  the  principal  of  the
Commercial  Intelligence  Branch  of  the  Board  of  Trade,  to  whose  zeal  and
discretion,  combined  with  practical  commercial  experience,  the  success  already
attained  by  the  Branch  is  largely  due.  They  look  forward  to  a  wide  extension
of  the  utility  of  the  Branch  under  Mr.  Worthington’s  administration  in  its
new  and  more  convenient  premises  in  the  City.
The  Committee  also  wish  to  acknowledge  their  deep  indebtedness  to  their
Secretary,  Mr.  G.  J.  Stanley,  who  has  given  them  most  valuable  help
throughout  the  whole  period  covered  by  this  Report,  and  whose  exceptional
knowledge,  especially  with  regard  to  tariff  matters,  has  been  of  the  greatest
possible  assistance  to  them  in  their  deliberations.
We  have,  &c.
