of the Consul for the Secretary of State, the form is based on the form of Letters of Request in use at home. The form in the "White Book", as recently considered in this Colony, is the one we should issue if it were necessary in the case of service say on a Japanese in Japan. The High Court in England, if a Chinaman were defendant in an action before it, would use the form in the White Book, and there would be no question of Treaty involved. The power to issue Letters of Request, though now specially regulated by the Order of Court, is really inherent in the Courts.
