ADDITIONAL REGULATIONS.
These regulations which have been decreed, as having the force of law in the Consular Courts of the United States in China, by James B. Angell, Envoy Extraor dinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States, are dated May 26th, 1881. They have been assented to by the various United States Consuls in China and are
as follow:-
1.-In civil proceedings between American citizens in the Consular Courts in China, the service of summous upon the defendant, if he is found within the Empire of China, shall be personal. That is, the copy of the complaint and summons July certified by a Marshal of any Consular Court in China shall be delivered into the hands of the person to be served. The officer so serving the summons shall certify the same to the Consul before whom the suit is brought.
if a
2. When the defendant has removed from or is absent from the Empire, or conceals himself therein to avoid the service of summons, and the fact appears by affidavit to the satisfaction of the Consul, and it also appears by such affidavit or by the verified complaint on file that a good cause of action exists against the defendant, or that he is a necessary party to the action, such Consul may make an order that the service be made by publication of the summons. Such order shall direct the publication to be made in a newspaper of general circulation (to be named) for such length of time as may be reasonable, in not less than six issues of such paper, daily, and in not less than four issues, if a weekly. Such publication shall be made in a newspaper published nearest to the Consulate where the suit or proceeding is pending, at least five months before the time fixed for the trial by the Consul. In case of publication, when the residence of a non-resident or absent defendant is unknown, the Consul shall direct a copy of the complaint and summons, duly certified, and addressed to the person to be served at his supposed place of residence, to be deposited in the Post Office by the Marshal of the said Court.
