1823. Octr 28.
Constitutional Code or Procedure

Ch.Procedure in distances.
(4) §.

11
Examination epistolary
1 directly 2 with the
intervention of the Judge

Examination of a person, party or extraneous
witness, through the medium of writing may is,
in the nature of the case performable in either
of two ways: directly immediately without the intervention of any
Judge; or unimmediately with the intervention of

the same as if the Pursuer himself were present,
except that the Defendant has not in this case
the benefit of extracting information and admissions
from him, as if he were on the spot.

13
Case where instrument
of examination a string
of interrogatories as in
English Equity Courts

writing addressed and communicated to the Judge,
that the examination is performed, what is possible
is — that the instrument of examination consists
of nothing more than a string of interrogatories,
to which it is the business of the Judge to extract
answers. In this case, the examination is performed
in the same manner as when, in the English
Equity Courts, the examination of an extraneous
witness, or of a party considered in the character
of a witness, is performed. In
