( २२ ) CHAPTER xxII.-OF REQUIRING SECURITY for Costs. We have made no change in this chapter, which corresponds with sections 68 and 64 of tbe Bill of 1865, sections 84 and 85 of Act VIII of 1859. ОНАРткн xxш.--Ок ввттикa ASIDE DECRквs By DвFAtлт Амр кx PАвтв. This chapter corresponds with sections 172 to 175 of the Bill of 1865, section 119 of Act VIII of 1869. Here, to, we have made no change. 幽 Снлгтвк хх1v-Ок Соммпввтомs. This chapter deals with (a) commissions to examine witnesses; (b) commissions for local investigations; (c) commissions to investigate accounts, and (d) general provisions applicable to all such commissions. Under (a) we have inserted a section (885) to provide for the oase of the witness being in jail, and under (d) we have declared that the Commissioner shall take down all questions and answers, und make a note of the objections (if any) to the admissibility of evidence. We have made no other substantial change. PART III.-Or SUITs IN PARTICULAR CASEs. Part III deals with suits in particular cases, and herein with (a) suits by paupers; (b) suits by or against Government or Government servants; (c) suits by or against Native or foreign £rulers; (d) suits by or against corporations and companies; (e) suits by and against trustees, axecutors, and administrators; (f) suits by or against minors and persons of unsound mind; (g) suits by infirm persons and women; (k) suits by or against military men; (3) suits by stakeholders, otherwise called interpleader suits. OHAPTER xxv.–SUITs BY PAUPERs. The principal additions which we have here made are as follows:--We have provided that the Court shall hear any argument which the parties may desire to offer on the question whether, on the face of the petition and the evidence, the petitioner is or is not disqualified from suing as a pauper. We have declared that the puuper shall not be exempt from paying (a) the expense of serving process; (b) the expenses of witnesses; (c) the duty and penalty payable on unstamped or insufficiently stamped instruments which he produces ; and we think that, if he resides out of British India, he should not be exempt from giving security for costs. We have provided that if he succeeds he shall have such costs as the Court thinks fit, and that if he fails, the Court may order him to pay costs to the defendant, and further, if the suit is, rivolous or vexatious, punish him with a small fine and a month's imprisonment. Lastly, we have introduced a section (411) as to dispaupering, a subject ignored both by the Bill of 1865 and by Act. VIII of 1859. CHAPTER xxvi.—SUITs by or AGAINST Governith NT on Government SERVANTs. The only change that we have here made is in section 427 (= section 334 of the Bill of 1865). We think that, where the officer against whom execution of a decree against Government is applied for neglects to satisfy the decree, the Court, whether it be the High Court or subordinate thereto, should report directly to the Local Government; and we think that the period after which execution may issue on such unsatisfied decree should be computed from the date on which the report reaches Government.
