36. No cause of action in the whole amounting to a sum beyond such sum as is made recoverable by force of this Act shall be split or divided so as to be made the ground of two or more different actions, in order to bring such cases within the jurisdiction of this Act; but if any of the said assistant barristers shall find that the plaintiff in such cause shall have split his cause of action as aforesaid, he shall dismiss every such action, with the ordinary costs of a dismiss, without prejudice however to the plaintiff’s proceeding to sue upon such cause of action in any other court, and in such other manner as he lawfully may: Provided also, that if such plaintiff shall be satisfied to recover such sum as the jurisdiction hereby conferred is made to extend to, in full of the whole of such his demand, then such assistant barrister shall and may, if such plaintiff shall satisfactorily prove his case, make and pronounce one decree for such plaintiff for such sum as shall in such case be demanded by the process, so as such sum does not exceed the jurisdiction under this Act, and the same shall be expressed in such decree to be and shall be in full discharge of the whole of such demand.
