APPENDIX C. 
Form of Legal Processes. 
It is well for the forest officer to be familiar with the 
proper forms of the legal processes with which he will 
have to do. Warrants, subpoenas, etc., however, will be 
prepared by the issuing magistrate and the forest officer 
will have no direct responsibility for their form; he will 
only need to be sure that they properly state the facts of 
the case, which he must properly have stated in his com¬ 
plaint (see p. 58). The correctness of the latter only his 
knowledge and care can insure, and he must therefore be 
thoroughly familiar with its requirements. On any doubt¬ 
ful points, especially of form, the magistrate will doubtless 
be glad to give him assistance; but he should not be en¬ 
tirely dependent on such help. 
Complaint. —The following is an accepted form. The 
letters (a), (b), etc., inserted in the blank spaces refer to 
illustrative wordings for different kinds of cases, following. 
These, however, should not be followed verbatim unless 
they fit the individual case; every case should be stated 
on its own merits.
