Probatory Term

In the British courts of admiralty, after the issue is formed between the parties, a time for taking the testimony is assigned. This is called a "probatory term." This term is common to both parties, and either party may examine his witnesses. When good cause is shown, the term will be enlarged. 2 Brown, Civ. Law, 418; Dunl. Adm. Prac. 217.
