126. It shall and may be lawful for every assistant barrister in Ireland, although he shall not be at the time within the county of which he shall be such assistant barrister, to take any such affidavit or affidavits as he is now by law entitled to take, or as in any way relates to any action or proceeding in his court of civil bill jurisdiction, and to administer the necessary oath or oaths for that purpose; and every such affidavit shall be of the same force and effect, and the penalty for any false swearing therein shall be the same, to all intents and purposes, as if such affidavit was taken by or before such assistant barrister in the civil bill court within his county: Provided always, that every affidavit relating to or concerning any action or other proceeding in his court of civil bill jurisdiction shall, within six days after the day on which such affidavit shall be made, be delivered to the clerk of the peace of such county, or at the office of such clerk of the peace within such county to be filed amongst the records of such court, otherwise such affidavit shall be null and void.
