11. Every person who shall be appointed or shall act as clerk of petty sessions under the provisions of this Act shall, before entering on such his office, give security for the due discharge of his duties as such clerk; and such security shall be given by a recognizance, with two sureties, to be approved of by any two of the justices of his district or districts, in double the amount of the annual salary of such petty sessions clerk; and every such recognizance may be in the form (B.) in the schedule to this Act, or to the like effect; and the same shall, when perfected, be deposited by the justices with the registrar at his office in Dublin: Provided always, that, notwithstanding anything herein-before contained, it shall be lawful for the Lord Lieutenant to direct that the security of any guarantee society established by charter or Act of Parliament in Great Britain or Ireland may be accepted in lieu of such security by recognizance as aforesaid; provided also, that it shall be lawful for the Lord Lieutenant, when and so often as, from the death or insolvency of sureties or other circumstances, he shall think right so to do, to direct that new security shall be given and entered into, by recognizance or otherwise, as he shall direct; and the same shall be given and entered into accordingly.
