WHEREAS, by Ordinance No. 15 intituled "An Ordinance to establish a Su- peme Court of Judicuture at Hongkong," it is by section 15 enacted and ordained that all pleadings in any civil case shall be signed by a Barrister"; and whereas it frequently happens that from the absence of Counsel, or otherwise, parties are unable to obtain such signature. It is therefore ORDERED, That whenever it shall happen either from the absence of Counsel, or other sufficient cause, that the signature of a Barrister cannot be obtained to the pleadings, the party desirous of pleading shall be at liberty to file the same without such signature on pro- ducing to the Registrar of the Court before filing the same a satisfactory affi- davit duly sworn verifying the fact of his being unable to obtain such signature.
