EDITOR'S NOTE:

This is a verbatim report of a note made by the Acting Chief Justice. It is included in these reports to show that Certiorari runs in Tonga, and so probably the other prerogative writs although there is no mention in the Laws of any of them with the exception of Habeas Corpus. There are references to grants of writs of certiorari in the notes of earlier judges, but no details are given.
