NOTICE TO THE DEFENDANT.

If you pay the debt and costs, as per margin on the other side, into the Registrar's office, within eight days after the service of this summons, and without returning the dispute note, you will avoid further costs.

If you do not return the dispute note, but allow judgment against you by default, you will save half the hearing fee, and the order upon such judgment will be to pay the debt and costs forthwith (or by instalments, to be specified, as in plaintiff's written consent).

If you admit a part only of the claim, you must return the dispute note within the time specified in the summons; and you may, by paying into the Registrar's office at the same time the amount so admitted, together with costs proportionate to the amount you pay in, avoid further costs, unless the plaintiff at the trial shall prove a claim against you exceeding the sum so paid.

If you intend to dispute the plaintiff's claim on any of the following grounds :

1. That the plaintiff owes you a debt, which you claim should be set-off against it;

2. That you were under twenty when the debt claimed was contracted;

3. That you were then, or are now, a married woman;

4. That the debt claimed is more than six years old;

5. That you have been discharged from the plaintiff's claim under a Bankrupt or Insolvent Act;

6. Tender;

7. Statutory or equitable defence.

The dispute note must contain notice of such special defence, and must also contain the particulars required by the Rules of Court; and you must deliver to the Registrar as many copies of such notice as there are plaintiffs, and an additional copy for the use of the Court.

If your defence be a set-off, you must, with the notice thereof, also deliver a statement of the particulars thereof.

If your defence be a tender, you must pay into Court, before or at the trial, the amount tendered.

Summonses for witnesses and for the production of documents by them will be issued upon application at the office of the Registrar of this Court, upon payment of the proper fee.

Hours of attendance at the office of the Registrar

from nine a. m. till four o'clock p. m., except on Saturdays, when the office will be closed at one o'clock.
