Writs for Service or Commissions or Requests to take Evidence
in Foreign Countries in Civil and Commercial Matters.

Department of Justice,
Wellington, 24th January, 1939.

WITH reference to the memorandum from the Secretary
of State for Dominion Affairs, published in the New
Zealand Gazette of the 21st September, 1933, at page 2438,
the following supplementary information contained in a
recent despatch from the Secretary of State is published for
general information.

H. G. R. MASON, Minister of Justice.

His Majesty’s Ambassador at Washington has recently
drawn attention to the difficulty in the way of obtaining
evidence by means of letters of request addressed to Courts
in the United States owing to the inability of the State
Department to secure acceptance of these documents by the
Court to which they are addressed and to ensure that the
necessary action will be taken by the Court.

In view of this difficulty His Majesty’s Ambassador
has suggested that in lieu of procedure by letter of request
evidence desired in the United States should be obtained
by means of commissions addressed to His Majesty’s Consular
officers in that country. For purposes of convenience such
commissions should be made in favour of “His Majesty’s
Consul (or Consul-General) at
, or his deputy.”

Pastoral Societies Amendment Act, 1933—(Notice No. Ag.

of December, 1938, and of the approval by the Governor-
General on the 21st day of January, 1939, of by-laws under
the above-entitled Act, controlling the admission of persons
to any place used or occupied by the said association for any
meeting, show, exhibition, competition, or entertainment,
held by the said association, which said by-laws came into
force on the last-mentioned date. The by-laws made by the
Feilding Industrial, Agricultural, and Pastoral Association on
the 25th day of October, 1935, and published in the Gazette
