19. When the county surveyor considers it probable that the expense of any work will exceed the sum of one hundred pounds, it shall be lawful for the justices and cess payers at the presentment sessions, if they so think fit, to order a notice for the receipt of such tenders to be inserted in some newspaper circulating in the district, and to direct that the opening of the tenders for such work shall not take place at the adjourned sessions, but that such tenders shall be opened by the grand jury at the commencement of the following assizes, and such grand jury shall open such tenders accordingly, and proceed in all matters relating thereto in the same manner as the justices and cess payers at the adjourned sessions are herein-after directed to proceed in respect of tenders and contracts, and shall afterwards, in due order, take the application for such work into their consideration, in the same manner as if the tenders had been opened at the adjourned sessions, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
