108. In every proceeding before any assistant barrister in any civil bill court, or before a judge of assize on appeal, an office copy of any original will or other testamentary document lodged in any ecclesiastical court in Ireland, or in the registry thereof, and which shall appear by such copy to have been duly proved, and probate or letters of administration thereof granted, shall, upon due proof of the signature of the proper officer of such ecclesiastical court, certifying the same to be a true copy of such original will or other testamentary document, be admitted as primâ facie evidence of the contents of such original will or testamentary document of which it purports to be an office copy, without the production of the original will or testamentary document; and the proper officer of any such ecclesiastical court is hereby required to make a memorandum in writing upon such office copy of the time at which and the person or persons to whom such probate or letters of administration shall have been granted.
