NOTE-It should be understood, that the Registrar, or whoever acts as the Examiner for him, should take the Depositions in chief of the Witnesses, on the Libel, Information, or Plea itself, without written Interrogatories; putting such relevant questions, virá voce, as may suggest themselves; and care should be taken not to lead the Witness. The Libel, Information, or Plea should therefore always be drawn sufficiently precise and full, to enable the Examiner to take the Examinations accordingly.
The Cross-examinations must, of course, be taken on written Interrogatories.
