The truth is given in cases under cognizance of the Consul, by a Japanese Officer to Japanese Witnesses, but that no declaration is made by the witness prior to the examination; so the depositions could not be brought within the meaning of the Ordinance, however comprehensive its intention.

And as a consequence, the depositions of all the Japanese Witnesses were rejected at the trial. This alteration is introduced to meet the difficulty in any future case from Japan.

"Should this Ordinance be approved, I trust I may at the same time receive Her Majesty's Confirmation of the 'Bankruptcy Ordinance 1864'.

I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient Servant, Kenneth E. Robinson
