Upon the application of either party to the Board of Triers, and it being made satisfactorily to appear to them that the attendance of any material witness cannot be procured upon the trial, they may appoint a Commissioner to take the testimony of any such w itness ; and both parties may attend and examine the witness. The examination, being reduced to writing, shall be, as nearly as possible, in the words of the witness, and signed by said witness. The testimony thus taken shall be transmitted jto the Board, certified by the Commissioner, under his seal, and shall be received by them as evidence. 14. Advocates or proctors, who mav be either Clergymen or Laymen, shall be allowed on either side ; and if any differ- ence of opinion shall arise as to the proprietv of any question put, or on any point of order, the Board of triers shall decide all such matters, taking legal opinion if they deem it desirable. 15.
