Gendre and Cavallera v Pagel [1914] ZAWLD 27 (29 October 1914)

Practfre.-Pauper suit.-Peregrini.-Rule 86.-Security for costs.

The rules of Court with regard to pauper suits apply as well to peregrini as toincolae.
The object of affidavits by householders is to secure the best evidence as to means.
Where such evidence is unobtainable owing to the fact that applicants were strangers, unknown to others, and unable to speak the language of the country,
the Court accepted the evidence of their Consul-General and his secretary in their official capacity.
Leave to sue in forma pauperis dispenses with the obligation to find security forcosts.
