Civil Bill Courts (Ireland) Act, 1851

Assistant barrister, &c. may sue for lands wholly in his own jurisdiction before the assistant barrister of an adjoining county.

85. [1] And whereas it is reasonable, in cases where it may happen that any assistant banister, or the recorder, is the landlord or lessor of or claims to be entitled to the possession of any lands or tenement within his own jurisdiction, that provision should be made for extending to such assistant barrister or recorder the benefits of this Act: Be it therefore enacted, that in every such case it shall and may be lawful for such assistant barrister, or recorder to proceed by way of civil bill respecting such lands or tenements before any assistant barrister of any of the counties next adjoining to that wherein such lands or tenements shall be so situate, in the same manner as any other landlord or claimant might proceed respecting any other tenement before such assistant barrister; and an appeal shall lie from any decree of such assistant barrister upon such civil bill to the judge at nisi prius, or the next going judge of assize, as the case may be, in the same manner, and subject to the same restrictions, conditions, and limitations, as are applicable to other civil bill decrees and dismisses, as herein provided.
