XXVIII. No Writ of Summons and Plaint shall be in force for the Purpose of Service for more than Six Calendar Months from the Day of the Date thereof, including the Day of such Date; but if any Defendant therein named shall not have been served therewith, the original or duplicate Writ of Summons and Plaint may be renewed at any Time before its Expiration for Six Calendar Months from the Date of such Renewal, and so from Time to Time during the Currency of the renewed Writ, by being marked with the Common Seal of the Superior Courts, with a Memorandum, signed or initialed by the Officer, of the Date of the Day, Month and Year of such Renewal: Provided always, that no Writ of Summons and Plaint so renewed shall be available to prevent the Operation of any Statute whereby the Time for the Commencement of the Action may be limited, unless such Renewal shall be had by Leave of the Court or a Judge on an Affidavit to satisfy the said Court or a Judge that reasonable Diligence was used to effect Service thereof.
