5. Where a British subject within the jurisdiction
   of the Court has a complaint to make of assault, or
   of any other offence not amounting to felony, and
   being of a private or personal character, such as is
   contemplated by section 133, which he is willing to
   have settled under the powers of said section, he may
   apply to such officer for a summons under section
   198 against the person complained of, and such
   officer shall have the powers of a Registrar of the
   High Commissioner's Court to issue such summons,
   and, on the defendant appearing, to proceed as a
   Commissioner of the High Commissioner's Court to
   promote reconciliation and settle the difference in an
   amicable way, upon such terms of compensation as
   may appear just, or to withdraw the summons should
   the complaint appear to be frivolous or not proved,
   or the defendant be unwilling to have the matter
   settled under the provisions of said section.

6. It shall be the duty of the said officer to trans-
   mit, at the earliest opportunity, to the Registrar of

   Assistant High Commissioner.

   the High Commissioner's Court for the purposes of
   sections 96, 97, and 98 of the said order; and it shall
   be his duty to communicate to the High Commissioner,
   or Assistant High Commissioner, or to the Deputy
   Commissioner within the district, should one be
   appointed, notice of the death of any British subject,
   and such information respecting his affairs as he may
   be able to obtain.

8. He shall have power to take such steps for the
   preservation of the personal property as he may deem
   expedient, reporting the same forthwith to the High
   Commissioner, Assistant High Commissioner, or
   to the Deputy Commissioner as aforesaid.

9. Such officer shall be a Commissioner, and, as
   such, an officer of the Court for the purpose of
