( 8 ) 6. In re-arranging the Code we have first followed the course of an ordinary suit from the moment that the plaintiff determines to sue, until he obtains execution of his decree. Incidental proceedings (as, for example, when either party dies), suits in particular cases, provisional remedies (such as interlocutory injunctions), and special proceedings are dealt with in subsequent and separate Parts. If an unsuccessful litigant wishes to present an appeal, or to have a judgment reviewed, ile will find the law on these subjects in Parts dealing respectively with appeals and reviews. References to the High Courts are also separately dealt with, and the special Itules relating to the Courts established under 24 and 25 Wic., c. 104, are placed in a Part by themselves. The new Code is thus divided into ten Parts, relating respectively to— I.—Suits in general. II.—Incidenta] Proceedings. III.--Suits in particular cases. IV.-Provisional Remedies. W.—Special Proceedings. VI.-Appeals. Q VII.—lteview of Judgment. VI1I.—Referenees to the Iligh Court. 1X.—Special Itules elating to the Charter High Courts, and X.-Certain muiscellaneous matteis. 7. The substantial chauges and additions which we have made in and to the Draft of 1865 will be conveniently specified under the Part to which each belongs. But first we have to notice the preliminary sections. Puell M1N Alty. Section 1.—The local extent of the Bill is declared to be the whole of british India, except the Scheduled Distlicts as defined in Act XIV of 1874. Section 2, Interpretation-clause.—llcre are omitted several definitions, some 6, which have been rendered unnecessary by the General (lauses’ Act I of 186°, and others appear to us to be useless. On the other hand, we have inserted definitions of “Pleader,’ “ Foreign Court,’ * Foreign Judgment.” We have also defined “cause of action' and “material part of the cause of action,’ in accordance with the judgment of Sir A. Bittleston in DeSouza v. Coler, 3 Mad. 384. section 3, and Schedule I.— We have omitted frotm the repealing scbedule nll the Regulations relating to Civil Procedure which, since 1863, have been repealed, and we have added several Acts relating to the same subject. It will be seen that Sections ifi and 192 of Act VIII of 1859 ure for tiie prebenu to be left untouebud. The Ivriurr w*:et ium relates to declarutory Suits : the latter to specific performance. Both subjects will properly be dealt with by a Bill relating to specific and preventive relief, and the sections in question will then be repealed. Section 4.—This applies to the new Code the references in previous Acts to Act VIII of 1859 or , the Code of Civil Procedure,’ and saves the Oudh Civil Courts’ Act of 1871, the Panjāb Appeals’ Act of 1878, and the Burma Courts' Act of 1875. PAR'l' I —Or Suits 1N on NERAL. This Pait is intended to deal with iitigation in "he simplest case, from the time that the plaintiff decides on suing and has to select his forum to the time when, having obtained a decree, he proceeds to execute it. It is divided into eighteen chapters relating to the following subjects : I.—The jurisdiction of the Courts and res judienta. II.-The place of suing. IIl-Parties, their appearances, applications, and acts. IV.--The frame of the suit, and the form of the plaint. W.-The institution of suits.
