1. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856)
LETTERS OF REQUEST, Eng. eccl. law, An instrument by which a judge of an 
inferior court waives or remits his own jurisdiction in favor of a court of 
appeal immediately superior to it. 
     2. Letters of request, in general, lie only where an appeal would lie, 
and lie only to the next immediate court of appeal, waiving merely the 
primary jurisdiction to the proper appellate court, except letters of 
request from the most inferior ecclesiastical court, which may be direct to 
the court of arches, although one or two courts of appeal may, by this, be 
ousted of their jurisdiction as courts of appeal. 2 Addams, R. 406. The 
effect of letters of request is to give jurisdiction to the appellate court 
in the first instance. Id. See a form of letters of request in 2 Chit. Pr. 
498, note.
