     2.     When any cause of importance in which a subject of Denmark or citizen of Hamburg may be plaintiff or defendant, shall come before the Judge of foreign causes in Honolulu, or any other port or town where a Consular Agent of Denmark or Hamburg shall have been recognized, the presiding Judge shall, with the least possible delay, communicate knowledge thereof, in writing, to the resident Consul of Denmark or Hamburg as the case may be.

     6.     A copy of these practical rules shall be submitted to the Governments of Hawaii, Denmark and Hamburg for their approval, but they shall take effect ad interim in the Kingdom after the their approval by the King.
