communication from Sir M. Nathan that he did not intend to take

any further steps in the matter I have heard nothing since. I wish to draw Your Excellency's special attention to this,

I can hardly believe that the question is

closed, and I trust that this matter may also receive sympathe-

There are precedents for the action pro-

and Scotch judgments in other parts of the United Kingdom.

The Australasian Creditors Act (19 Vict.

No. 12) passed in all the Australian Colonies, similarly allows

judgments of one Colony to be executed in another.

The principle of reciprocal execution of

judgments is recognised on the continent. France, for example,

has treaties on the subject with Italy, Russia, Baden and

Switzerland.

Great Britain has up to the present declined

to enter into treaties with continental Powers, and I should

hesitate to press the consideration of the general question, as

I had in former years much correspondence with the Foreign

Office on the subject. But I do most earnestly ask for favour-

-able consideration of the request in this case, which is

intended to have so limited an area of operation. It falls well

within the precedent of the Australasian Act, for the necessity

there is the same as it is here the necessity which arises

owing to the facility of evading execution and consequently

payment of judgment. debts; there by merely stepping across the
