Office Copies of Memorials to be received in Evidence.
|
XXXII. And whereas it is convenient that Office Copies of the Memorials registered in the said Register Office should under certain Limitations be received in Evidence; be it therefore enacted, That in all Proceedings before any Court of Justice for all Purposes whatsoever, an Office Copy of any Memorial registered in the said Office shall, upon such Office Copy being proved in like Manner as an Office Copy of any other Record, be received and taken as Evidence of the Contents of the Memorial of which it purports to be an Office Copy, without the Production of the original Memorial: Provided always, that the Party producing such Office Copy shall, if out of Dublin Ten Days, and if in Dublin Eight Days before producing the same, give Notice in Writing to the adverse Party thereof; and provided also, that such adverse Party shall not within Four Days after receiving such Notice demand by a counter Notice that the original Memorial shall be produced; and in every Case in which such counter Notice shall be given, the Costs of producing the original Memorial shall be paid by either Party, as the Court in which the Proceeding shall take place, or the Taxing Officer of such Court, may determine.
