    further requires that all margarine-cheese sold or dealt in otherwise than by retail, shall either be enclosed in packages marked in accord- ance with the Margarine Act, 1887 (as amended by Section 6 of the new Act), or shall be itself conspicuously branded with the words margarine cheese. By Section 6 of the new Act, the brand or mark required under the Margarine Act, 1887, or the new Act, to be placed on any package con- tammg margarine or margarine-cheese must be on the package itself and not solely on a label, ticket, or other thing attached thereto. The same Section also amends the provisions of Section 6 of the Margarine Act, 1887, so as in effect to require that every person selling margarine or margarine-cheese by retail, save in a package marked as aforesaid, shall in every case deliver the same to the purchaser in a paper wrapper (the words or with in Section 6 of the Margarine Act, 1887, having been repealed) ; it also requires that the words mar- garine or margarine-cheese, as the case may be, shall be printed on the wrapper in capital block letters not less than half an inch long and distinctly legible, and that no other printed matter shall appear on the wrapper.

Section 8 of the Act provides that it shall be unlawful to manufacture, sell, expose for sale, or import any margarine, the fat of which contains more than ten per cent, of butter fat; that every person who manufac- tures, sells, exposes for sale, or imports any margarine which contains more than that percentage, shall be guilty of an offence under the Mar- garine Act, 1887, and that any defence which would be a defence under Section 7 of that Act shall be a defence under Section 8 of the new Act, and the provisions of the former section shall apply accordingly. Section 8, however, is not to apply to any margarine manufactured or imported in fulfilment of any contract made before the 20th day of July, 1899.
