being sent, conveyed or transported to any laundry, dry cleaning or
dyeing establishment to be washed, laundered, dry cleaned or dyed,

ship or body corporate that has heretofore registered returnable
containers, or clean laundered articles, under the provisions of the
law, as the same stood at the time of such registration, shall not
be required to again register the same, but shall be entitled to all
the benefits of this sub-title as if the same had been registered
hereunder; provided, however, that it shall be unlawful for any
person or corporation to adopt and register under the provisions
of this sub-title any returnable container, or clean laundered article,
or description, name, mark or device that has been previously
registered by any other person, or is at such time used or in use by
any other person in good faith, whether under the provisions of
this article or otherwise.

cutions. In any prosecution under any of the provisions of the
preceding sections, it shall not be necessary to set forth or describe
the name, mark or device affixed or attached to or impressed or
imprinted upon any returnable container, or the clean laundered or
soiled article; nor to set forth the particulars of the registration of
same or of the assignment or transfer of such registration, but it
shall be sufficient to describe the container, or the clean laundered or
soiled article, so as to permit of its identification averring that the
same is distinctly marked, and is registered according to law, giving
the name of the owner of such returnable container, or the clean
laundered or soiled article, or of the owner or dealer using the same
by virtue of such registration, or the name of the assignee or trans-
feree thereof as the case may be.

481.    Costs in Prosecutions. All costs incurred in prosecutions
under Sections 474 and 475 hereof, shall be assessed and collected
in the same manner as in criminal cases, and be accounted for in
the same manner as fines in cases of assault and battery are now by
law disposed of.

June 1, 1965.

Approved May 4, 1965.
