"Before the delivery on sale." Under sect. 4 of the Act of 1842 the copyright ceased "unless after publication of such design" every article to which it was applied was duly marked. The words at the head of this note, and the corresponding words in sects. 50 (2) and 51, ante, p. 147, remove the doubt as to the meaning of the word "publication" expressed in Dalglish v. Jarvie (u), cited ante, p. 145. "Shall cause each such article to be marked," &c. See ante, p. 148.
