b. How far the friendless and the poor should be assisted by the public
authorities in the maintenance of their rights in the Courts of Justice? In this
connection it may be considered whether the provision for suing in forma
pauperis should be abolished, as degrading to the suitor; also, whether public
prosecutors and defenders should be provided for the Courts of first resort,
to render their aid under the direction of the Court, to all such parties as
should apply therefor.
c. By what means the present expense, delay and uncertainty, of judicial
proceedings may best be reduced, without depriving the people of the
right to be promptly and efficiently protected in their persons, property and
reputations.
d. How the manifold burdens arising from the present enormous multi-
plication of judicial reports may be lightened without seriously impairing the
value of such reports?
e. What are the distinguishing characteristics, advantages and defects of
the administration of justice in the several Spanish American countries?
f. What are the distinguishing characteristics, advantages and defects of
the administration of justice in the several countries of continental Europe?
g. What are the distinguishing characteristics, advantages and defects of
the administration of justice in oriental countries?
h. What are the distinguishing characteristics, advantages and defects of
the system of Consular and Ministerial Courts, existing under the diplomatic
systems of the United States and other countries; and what changes, if any,
should be recommended therein?
