 agent of the other Party. It shall be sufficient for this purpose if 

 such case is delivered at the British Embassy at Washington or at the 

 American Embassy at London, as the case may be, for transmission 

 to the agent for its Government. 



Within fifteen days thereafter such printed case and accompanying 

 evidence of each of the Parties shall be delivered in duplicate to each 

 member of the Tribunal, and such delivery may be made by depositing 

 within the stated period the necessary number of copies with the In- 

 ternational Bureau at The Hague for transmission to the Arbitrators. 



After the delivery on both sides of such printed case, either Party 

 may, in like manner, and w T ithin four months after the expiration of 

 the period above fixed for the delivery to the agents of the case, de- 

 liver to the agent of the other Party (with such additional copies as 

 may be agreed upon), a printed counter-case accompanied by printed 

 copies of additional documents, correspondence, and other evidence 

 in reply to the case, documents, correspondence, and other evidence so 

 presented by the other Party, and within fifteen days thereafter such 

 Party shall, in like manner as above provided, deliver in duplicate 

 such counter-case and accompanying evidence to each of the Arbi- 

 trators. 



The foregoing provisions shall not prevent the Tribunal from per- 

 mitting either Party to rely at the hearing upon documentary or other 

 evidence which is shown to have become open to its investigation 

 or examination or available for use too late to be submitted within 

 the period hereinabove fixed for the delivery of copies of evidence, 

 but in case any such evidence is to be presented, printed copies of it, 

 as soon as possible after it is secured, must be delivered, in like manner 

 as provided for the delivery of copies of other evidence, to each of the 

 Arbitrators and to the agent of the other Party. The admission of 

 any such additional evidence, however, shall be subject to such condi- 

 tions as the Tribunal may impose, and the other Party shall have a 

 reasonable opportunity to offer additional evidence in rebuttal. 



The Tribunal shall take into consideration all evidence which is 

 offered by cither Party.

 Party shall demand it within thirty days after the delivery of the 

 case or counter-case respectively, to furnish to the Party applying 

 for it a ropy thereof; and either Party may, within the like time, de- 

 mand that the other shall furnish certified copies or produce for in- 

 spection the originals of any documentary evidence' adduced by the 

 Party upon whom the demand is made. It shall be the duty of the 

 Party upon whom any such demand is made to comply with it as soon
