486 APPENDIX 



The time allowed for the direct agreement of the President of the United States 

 and His Britannic Majesty on the composition of such Tribunal shall be three months. 



Art. VI. The pleadings shall be communicated in the order and within the time 

 following: 



As soon as may be and within a period not exceeding seven months from the date 

 of the exchange of notes making this agreement binding the printed case of each of 

 the Parties hereto, accompanied by printed copies of the documents, the official cor- 

 respondence, and all other evidence on which each Party relies, shall be delivered in 

 duplicate (with such additional copies as may be agreed upon) to the 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 International 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 within four months after the expiration of the period above fixed for the 

 delivery to the agents of the case, deliver 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 Arbitrators. 



The foregoing provisions shall not prevent the Tribunal from permitting 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 conditions as the Tribunal may impose, and the other Party shall have a reason- 

 able opportunity to offer additional evidence in rebuttal. 



The Tribunal shall take into consideration all evidence which is offered by either 

 Party. 



Art. VII. If in the case or counter-case (exclusive of the accompanying evidence) 

 either Party shall have specified or referred to any documents, correspondence, or 

 other evidence in its own exclusive possession without annexing a copy, such Party 

 shall be bound, if the other 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 copy 

 thereof; and either Party may, within the like time, demand that the other shall 

 furnish certified copies or produce for inspection 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 as may 

 be, and within a period not exceeding fifteen days after the demand has been received. 

 The production for inspection or the furnishing to the other Party of official govern-
