WRIT OF SUBP - NA ACT 1805 - SECT 3

Service of writs of subp - na in any part of the United Kingdom requiring appearance in any other part, shall be valid.

3. And whereas it is fit to provide for the appearance of persons to answer in
cases where warrants are not usually issued, and to give evidence in criminal
prosecutions in every part of the United Kingdom: the service of every writ of
subp-na or other process upon any person in any one of the parts of the United
Kingdom, requiring the appearance of such person to answer or give evidence in
any criminal prosecution in any other of the parts of the same, shall be as
good and effectual in law as if the same had been served in that part of the
United Kingdom where the person so served is required to appear; and in case
such person so served shall not appear according to the exigence of such writ
or process, it shall be lawful for the court out of which the same issued,
upon proof made of the service thereof to the satisfaction of the said court,
to transmit a certificate of such default under the seal of the same court, or
under the hand of one of the judges or justices of the same, to the [High
Court] in England, in case such service was had in England, or, in case such
service was had in Scotland, to the Court of Justiciary in Scotland, or, in
case such service was had in Ireland, to the [High Court of Justice in
Northern Ireland], and the said last-mentioned courts respectively shall and
may thereupon proceed against and punish the person so having made default in
like manner as they might have done if such person had neglected or refused to
appear in obedience to a writ of subp-na or other process issued out of such
last-mentioned courts respectively.
