THE COMMISSIONERS appointed by His Excellency the Governor-in-Chief to enquire into the course of proceeding in Civil actions and other matters connected with the practice of the Supreme Court of New Zealand, having made considerable progress in the matters referred to them, but being unable to prosecute the same to completion by reason of HENRY SAMUEL CHAPMAN, Esquire, one of the said Commissioners having ceased to be a Judge of the Supreme Court, His Excellency has been pleased to issue a new Commission addressed to WILLIAM MARTIN, Esquire, Chief Justice of the Colony, and to SYDNEY STEPHEN, Esquire, Judge of the Supreme Court, authorizing and directing them to carry on and fulfil the objects comprised in the said Commission, viz. :-
“to make diligent and full inquiry into the course of proceeding in actions and other Civil remedies now in use in the said several Courts in England and in the said Supreme Court from the commencement to the termination of such proceedings and into the process, practice, pleading and other matters connected therewith, and also what parts of such process, practice, pleading and other matters may be applicable to the Supreme Court of this Colony, and what changes it may be desirable to introduce therein having in view the said several jurisdictions in the said Supreme Court and the convenience and benefit of the suitors therein,”
and directing that they do certify and report to His Excellency their proceedings under the said new Commission together with what they shall find concerning the premises and what regulations may appear to them fit to be established.
