Balances of partnership accounts, not exceeding 40l., and actions involving title to corporeal or incorporeal hereditaments, may be brought in civil bill courts.
|
1. The chairmen of every county in Ireland shall have jurisdiction to try by civil bill actions for the recovery of any debt or demand not exceeding forty pounds alleged to be due as the balance of a partnership account, whether the balance shall have been ascertained or not previous to the issuing of the civil bill; and such chairmen shall, in addition to any jurisdiction in respect of lands and hereditaments which they already possess, also have jurisdiction to try by civil bill actions in which the title to any corporeal or incorporeal hereditament shall come in question, when the value of the land in dispute, or in respect of which an easement or license is claimed, or on, through, over, or under which such easement or license is claimed, shall not exceed [2 thirty pounds]
by the year as valued under the Acts relating to the valuation of rateable property in Ireland; but the decision of the chairmen in any action in which the title to any corporeal or incorporeal hereditament shall be in question shall not be evidence of title between the parties or their privies in any other action relating to any other corporeal or incorporeal hereditament, although the same may depend in the whole or in part on the same title: Provided, however, that this section shall not extend to any action in which title to any fishery or right of fishing shall come in question.
