2. Whenever any person makes default in payment of any sum of money due or payable by him to the Crown in respect of rent, or of any assessment for rates, or of any fees or forfeitures, or of any instalment thereof, the Treasurer may recover the same by action in the Supreme Court in its Summary Jurisdiction, although the amount claimed exceeds 1,000 dollars.
3. The writ of summons in any such action shall be taken to have been duly served if it appears, to the satisfaction of the Court, that the writ was left at the defendant's residence or place of business, or, in case the same is unknown, then that it was left on the tenement or premises in respect of which the claim is made.
4.-(1) A certificate purporting to be under the hand of the Treasurer, and setting forth that the sum claimed is due or payable to the Crown and that the person sued is liable to the payment thereof, and specifying the nature and particulars of the claim, shall be prima facie evidence of the facts certified therein and of the signature of the Treasurer thereto.
(2) Such certificate shall be sufficient if made in the form in the schedule or to the like effect.
5. In an action for the recovery of Crown rent, the certificate shall not be sufficient unless it purports to be signed by the Land Officer as well as by the Treasurer.
6. In all matters under this Ordinance, the Treasurer shall sue as Treasurer, but may be represented in the Court by any person whom he may appoint in that behalf.
7. In any case under this Ordinance, the Court may award interest at the rate of 8 per centum per annum on the sum recovered from the day when the same became due or payable.
8. Nothing in this Ordinance shall affect any other remedy of the Crown for the recovery of such sums as aforesaid.
9.-(1) The Treasurer may, with the approval of the Court, appoint a special bailiff for the service of process in proceedings under this Ordinance.
