Federal Service and Execution of Process Act, s. 25.-When a certificate of judgment obtained in a Court of Record of any State is produced to the proper officer in another State, that officer is bound to register the certificate, and has no power to inquire into the validity of the judgment. If the original judgment is a nullity, the defendant's remedy is to apply for a stay of proceedings under s. 25: Ex parte Penglase, (1903), 20 W.N. 226; see Mackenzie v. Manwell, 20 W.N. 18.

Substituted service.

The Court has inherent power to give directions as to the mode of service of an order made by it: Ex parte Murray, (1906), 23 W.N. 124; see In re a Solicitor, 24 W.N. 167.

Remitting action.

Rule nisi for a prohibition enlarged; and substituted service allowed when the informer's whereabouts was unknown: Ex parte Elizabeth Brown, (1903), 20 W.N. 245.
