50 The thirty-fifth section of the Civil Bill Courts (Ireland) Act, 1851, and also the fifth section of the Common Law Procedure Amendment Act (Ireland), 1870, shall be read and construed as if the words fifty pounds were therein substituted for the words forty pounds wherever the words forty pounds occur therein, and the jurisdictions thereby conferred shall be extended accordingly. Where in any action the claim consists of a balance not exceeding the sum of fifty pounds, after an admitted set off of any debt or demand claimed or recoverable by the defendant from the plaintiff, the Civil Bill Court shall have jurisdiction to hear and determine such action.
