1. All acts, things, receipts, and documents heretofore done, given, or executed by, and all payments made to the Registrar of Patents, Designs, and Trade-marks, or by or to any person lawfully authorized to act in his stead during his absence, which should have been done, given, or executed by, or made to, the RegistrarGeneral in pursuance of the provisions of the said recited Acts, or either of them, shall be as valid and effectual in all respects as if the same had actually been done, given, or executed by, or made to, the Registrar-General.

2. All the duties, powers, and authorities which by the said recited Acts, or either of them, are imposed or conferred upon or vested in the Registrar-General, shall be transferred to, and imposed and conferred upon, and vested in, the Registrar of Patents, Designs, and Trade-marks.
