requiring Mandate.

Art. In some cases the Judge would do well
in concert with the party to give intimation to the proposed
witness of the points in relation to which he will be
examined. In some cases the Witness knowing
what he knows will not have use and if any
will not be needful but in other cases it will. An example —
where it is only to speak to the character of a party or
a co witness that his testimony is wanted: knowing nothing
concerning the matter in dispute, the mandate may carry

If supposed witness

aseveration to that
effect to answer the
purpose of an attendance
Nil scit in the Response or Excuse papers
What may every now and then happen is — then
a person who by a party is supposed to know more or less about
the matter in dispute, in fact does not know any thing about it
In such case a written assurance to the effect would answer the
purpose of an attendance, and save so much vexation and
expense. For the sake of an assertion to this effect the proposed
witness would be an effectually responsible one for the truth
of any other assertion to any other effect. How often might
be a case in which in the Mandate the Judge might insert
a clause for the purpose of making it known to the
proposed witness, a response to this effect will be receivable
instead of an attendance. But in this case for such a response to such an effect an extra day
might be appointed then for attendance or making
response to epistolary interrogation.

knowledge. The Chancellor a Judge or Archbishop — any body
