1 - A, 2 - B, 3 - C, 4 - D
Explanation
Each process has a distinct function in the notes: oral testimony, document production, production of a person held under civil process, or general attendance in a Magistrates’ Court. Correct classification avoids seeking the wrong form of order. **Key takeaway:** Match the process to what the court needs the witness or custodian to do. **Glossary:** Duces tecum: an order to bring a document; habeas corpus ad testificandum: the named process to produce a detained person to testify.
