The affairs of such absentees, to make inquiries as to the whereabouts of absent parties, & to communicate with them where possible and in the meantime to protect their best interests. The appointment is not new, having been a part of the duties of this office under The Administrator General in British Guiana and so far as any experience went it was considered satisfactory for all parties.

In Hongkong advantageous arrangements are a number of cases in which Foreign Attachment is applied for in consequence of the shifting character of the population but in addition to the ordinary cases arising out of debts, there have been several instances where not only immovable property has been affected but where shops and stores worth their thousands have been deserted by persons in difficulties and the only way of preserving them from plunder has been by calling in the assistance of the Police.

I would also suggest that the Registrar should also be Ex Officio Receiver of the Court with liberty however to any of the parties to the suit to appoint another person and he ought also be appointed Manager under Section 76.
