This is the original version (as it was originally made).
19.—(1) Subject to sub-paragraph (2), upon application by any party to the arbitration, the judge of the county court may, if he or she thinks fit, issue an order under his or her hand for bringing before the arbitrator any person (in this paragraph referred to as “the prisoner”) confined in any place under any sentence or under committal for trial or otherwise, to be examined as a witness in the arbitration.
(2) No such order may be made with respect to a person confined under process in any civil action or matter.
(3) Subject to sub-paragraph (4), the prisoner mentioned in any such order must be brought before the arbitrator under the same custody, and dealt with in the same manner in all respects, as a prisoner required by a writ of habeas corpus to be brought before the High Court and examined there as a witness.
(4) The person having the custody of the prisoner is not bound to obey the order unless there is tendered to him or her a reasonable sum for the conveyance and maintenance of a proper officer or officers and of the prisoner in going to, remaining at, and returning from, the place where the arbitration is held.
