of such order, interlocutor, or decree having been made, and thereupon such last mentioned Court shall take such steps in the matter as may be requisite for enforcing such order, interlocutor, or decree, in the same manner as if it were the order, interlocutor, or decree of the Court enforcing the same. An order made in Scotland, having been entered in the Registrar's office of the Court here, was enforced in England, upon the application of the official manager. (Re Western Bank of Scotland, 8 W. R. L. C. 1.) CHAPTER XIX. ON ADVERTISEMENT, SERVICE OF NOTICE OF PRO- For the sake of convenience it is thought well to repeat in a separate Chapter the provisions of the Orders of November, 1862, as to advertisements, service of notice of proceedings, orders, &c., and the time within which notice must be given of the various steps taken in the winding up. By rule 53 it is provided that "When an advertisement is required for any purpose Advertiseexcept where otherwise directed by these rules, the adver- ments. tisement shall be inserted once in the London Gazette and in such other newspaper or newspapers and for such number of times as may be directed. The Judge may, in such cases as he shall think fit, dispense with any advertisement required by these rules." The special directions in the rules relate to the advertisement of the petition to wind up by the Court, or subject to the supervision of the Court (see rule 2, Chap. IV.), and of the order to wind up the Company by the Court, or subject to the supervision of the Court (see rule 6, Chap. VI.), and of the meeting to appoint the official liquidator (Chap. X.) The usual advertisements required on Serviecs. Time. other matters are mentioned in the progress of this work. By rules 63 and 64, it is provided as follows: 63. Services upon contributories and creditors shall be effected (except when personal service is required) by sending the notice or a copy of the summons or order or other proceeding through the post in a prepaid letter addressed to the solicitor of the party to be served (if any) or otherwise to the party himself, at the address entered or last entered (in the appearance book), pursuant to the preceding rule (rule 62), or if no such entry has been made then, if a contributory, to his last known address or place of abode, and if a creditor to the address given by him pursuant to the foregoing rule (20), and such notice or copy summons, order or other proceeding shall be considered as served at the time the same ought to be delivered in the due course of delivery by the post office, and notwithstanding the same may be returned by the post office. 64. No service under these rules shall be deemed invalid by reason of the Christian name or any of the Christian names of the person on whom service is sought to be made has been omitted or designated by initial letters in the list of contributories, or in the summons, order, notice, or other document wherein the name of such contributory or creditor is contained, provided the Judge is satisfied that such service is in other respects sufficient. It will be observed that the provisions of rule 63 are very important, and absolve the official liquidator from taking any notice of returned letters, provided they are properly addressed as directed in such rule.
