Admissibility in evidence of books of abolished bodies.

12.—(1) All books and other documents directed or authorised by or under any statute to be kept by any of the abolished bodies and which, immediately before the appointed day, would be receivable in evidence shall, notwithstanding the dissolution of such abolished body, be admitted in evidence after the appointed day as fully as if this Act had not been passed.

(2) Whenever an extract from or certificate of the contents of any book or other document directed or authorised by or under any statute to be kept by any of the abolished bodies would, if verified in a particular manner by a particular officer of such abolished body, have been admissible immediately before the appointed day as evidence of such contents, an extract from or certificate of the contents of such book or document shall, if verified in such particular manner by the officer of the successor of such abolished body corresponding to such particular officer, be admitted, on or after the appointed day, as evidence of such contents to the same extent as such first-mentioned extract or certificate would have been so admitted if this Act had not been passed.
