A collateral issue is a question which is not immediately or mediately a matter in dispute in the proceeding. Thus, it is not allowable to adduce evidence as to particular acts of misconduct by a witness with the view of discrediting his testimony, because that would raise a collateral issue.(Jowitt's, p. 370) 1, record 2, English, - collateral%20issue

The Treaty of Washington was a treaty concluded in 1871 between Britain and the United States for setting various differences between the two governments, but chiefly those with regard to the Alabama claims. In the beginning of 1871 the British government sent Sir John Rose to the United States to ascertain whether negociations looking towards the settlement of the question in dispute would be acceptable to the President. The United States government received his advances with cordiality and on the 26th of January Sir Edward Thornton, the British Minister at Washington, formally proposed the appointment of a joint high commission to meet at Washington for the purpose of devising means for setting the matters at issue. The United States readily consented to the proposal, provided the differences growing out of the Civil War should be included among the subjects to be considered. The British government promptly accepted the American proviso and the President appointed commissioners. 1, record 4, English, - Treaty%20of%20Washington
