Additional Payment · Preserved transcription; page attribution imported from the source collection. Verify against the original.
Where a witness must attend at court for more than one day the court may order the party at whose instance he was summoned to pay into court such sum as is sufficient to defray the expenses of his accommodation for such further period.
In case of default in payment under this Article, the court may either order such sum to be levied by attachment and sale of the movable property of the party obtaining the summons or discharge the person summoned without requiring him to give evidence, or the court may order both such levy and discharge.
