matters depending in this Court; and as often as any such Solicitor shall change his place of business or the place where he may be served as aforesaid, he shall cause a like entry thereof to be made in the Solicitors' Book, and that the above mentioned entries shall be made in such book by the said Six Clerks, who shall be entitled to a fee of one shilling for every such entry; and that the fund arising from such payment shall be applied, in the first instance, in paying the expenses of providing and keeping such book.

III. That all writs, notices, orders, warrants, rules, and other documents, proceedings, and written communications, which do not require personal service upon the party to be affected thereby, shall be deemed sufficiently served if such document, or a copy thereof, as the case may be, shall be left at the place lastly entered in the Solicitors' Book by the Solicitor of such party; and if any Solicitor shall neglect to cause such entry to be made in the Solicitors' Book as is required by the Second Order, then the fixing up a copy of any such writ, notice, order, warrant, rule, or other document, proceeding, or written communication for such Solicitor in the said Six Clerks' Office, shall be deemed a sufficient service on him, unless the Court shall, under special circumstances, think fit to direct otherwise.

IV. That if any Solicitor shall give his consent in writing that the service of all or any writs, notices, orders, warrants, rules, or other documents may be made upon him through the Post-Office or otherwise, such service shall be deemed sufficient if made in such manner as such Solicitor shall have so agreed to accept; but it shall be competent for any Solicitor giving such consent, at any time to revoke the same by notice in writing.

V. t no person shall be allowed to appear or act, either in person, by Solicitor or Counsel, or to take any proceedings whatever in this Court, either as plaintiff, defendant, petitioner, respondent, party inter

vening, or otherwise, until an entry of the name of his Solicitor and his Solicitor's Agent, if there be one, or if he act in person, his own name and address for service shall have been made in the Solicitors' Book at the office of the Six Clerks; but if such address of any person so acting in person shall not be within London, Westminster, or the Borough of Southwark, or within two miles of Lincoln's Inn Hall, then all services upon such person not requiring to be made personaily, shall be deemed sufficient if a copy of the writ, notice, order, warrant, rule, or other document to be served, be transmitted to him through Her Majesty's Post-Office to such address as aforesaid.

VI. That no Writ of Attachment with proclamations, nor any Writ of Rebellion, be hereafter issued for the purpose of compelling obedience to any process, order, or decree of the Court.

VII. That no order shall hereafter be made for a Messenger, or for the Serjeant-at-Arms, to take the body of the defendant for the purpose of compelling him to appear to the Bill.

VIII. That if the defendant, being duly served with a subpoena to appear to and answer the Bill, shall refuse or neglect to appear thereto, the plaintiff shall, after the expiration of eight days from such service, be at liberty to apply to the Court for leave to enter an appearance for the defendant. And the Court, being satisfied that the subpoena has been duly served, and that no appearance has been entered by the defendant, may give such leave accordingly; and that thereupon the plaintiff may cause an appearance to be entered for the defendant. And thereupon such further proceedings may be had in the cause as if the defendant had actually appeared.

IX. That upon the Sheriff's return, non est inventus, to an attachment issued against the defendant for not answering the Bill, and upon affidavit made that due

diligence was used to ascertain where such defendant was at the time of issuing such writ, and in endeavouring to apprehend such defendant under the same; and that the person suing forth such writ verily believed, at the time of suing forth the same, that such defendant was in the county into which such writ was issued, the plaintiff shall be entitled to a Writ of Sequestration, in the same manner that he is now entitled to such writ, upon the like return made by the Serjeant-at-Arms.

X. That no Writ of Execution, nor any Writ of Attachment, shall hereafter be issued for the purpose of requiring or compelling obedience to any order or decree of the High Court of Chancery; but that the party required by any such order to do any act, shall, upon being duly served with such order, be held bound to do such act in obedience to the order.

XI. That if any party who is by an order or decree ordered to pay money, or do any other act in a limited time, shall, after due service of such order, refuse or neglect to obey the same according to the exigency thereof, the party duly prosecuting such order shall, at the expiration of the time limited for the performance thereof, be entitled to an order for a Serjeant-at-Arms, and such other process as he hath hitherto been entitled to upon a return non est inventus, by the Commissioners named in a Commission of Rebellion issued for non-performance of a decree or order.

XII. That every order or decree requiring any party to do an act thereby ordered, shall state the time after service of the decree or order within which the act is to be done; and that upon the copy of the order, which shall be served upon the party required to obey the same, there shall be endorsed a memorandum, in the words or to the effect following; viz.-" If you, the within-named A. B., neglect to perform this order by the time therein limited, you will be liable to be arrested by the Serjeant-at-Arms attending the High Court of Chancery; and also be liable to have your estate se

R

questered for the purpose of compelling you to obey the same order."

XIII. That upon due service of a decree or order for delivery of possession, and upon proof made of demand and refusal to obey such order, the party prosecuting the same shall be entitled to an order for a Writ of Assistance.

XIV. That the memorandum at the foot of the subpoena to appear and answer shall hereafter be in the form following; that is to say-" Appearances are to be entered at the Six Clerks' Office in Chancery Lane, London, and if you do not cause your appearance to be entered within the time limited by the above writ, the plaintiff will be at liberty to enter an appearance for you; and you will be subject to an attachment and the other consequences of not answering the plaintiff's Bill, if you do not put in your answer thereto within the time limited by the General Orders of the Court for that purpose.

XV. That every person not being a party in any cause, who has obtained an order, or in whose favour an order shall have been made, shall be entitled to enforce obedience to such order by the same process as if he were a party to the cause; and every person, not being a party in any cause against whom obedience to any order of the Court may be enforced, shall be liable to the same process for enforcing obedience to such order as if he were a party to the cause.

XVI. That a defendant shall not be bound to answer any statement or charge in the bill, unless specially and particularly interrogated thereto; and a defendant shall not be bound to answer any interrogatory in the Bill, except those interrogatories which such defendant is required to answer; and where a defendant shall answer any statement or charge in the Bill, to which he is not interrogated, only by stating his ignorance of the matter so stated or charged, such answer shall be deemed impertinent.

XVII. That the interrogatories contained in the interrogating part of the Bill shall be divided as conveniently as may be from each other, and numbered consecutively 1, 2, 3, &c., and the interrogatories which each defendant is required to answer shall be specified in a note at the foot of the Bill, in the form or to the effect following; that is to say-"The defendant (A.B.) is required to answer the interrogatories numbered respectively 1, 2, 3, &c.," and the office copy of the Bill taken by each defendant shall not contain any interrogatories except those which such defendant is so required to answer, unless such defendant shall require to be furnished with a copy of the whole Bill.

XVIII. That the note at the foot of the Bill, specifying the interrogatories which each defendant is required to answer, shall be considered and treated as part of the Bill, and the addition of any such note to the Bill, or any alteration in or addition to such note after the Bill is filed, shall be considered and treated as an amendment of the Bill.

XIX. That instead of the words of the Bill now in use preceding the interrogating part thereof, and beginning with the words "To the end therefore," there shall hereafter be used words in the form or to the effect following:-"To the end therefore-That the said defendants may, if they can show why your orator should not have the relief hereby prayed, and may, upon their several and respective corporal oaths, and according to the best and utmost of their several respective knowledge, remembrance, information and belief, full, true, direct and perfect answer make to such of the several interrogatories hereinafter numbered and set forth as by the note hereunder written they are respectively required to answer; that is to say,
