Registration of English and Irish judgments in Dublin and Westminster respectively.

1. Where judgment shall hereafter be obtained or entered up in any of the
Courts of Queen's Bench, Common Pleas, or Exchequer at Westminster or Dublin
respectively for any debt, damages, or costs, on production to the master of
the Court of Common Pleas at Dublin, where such judgment shall have been
obtained or entered up in any of the said courts in England, or to the senior
master of the Court of Common Pleas at Westminster, where such judgment shall
have been obtained or entered up in any of the said courts in Ireland, of a
certificate of such judgment, in one of the forms contained in the schedule
hereto annexed, as the case may be, purporting to be signed by the proper
officer of the court where such judgment has been obtained or entered up, such
certificate shall be registered by such master in a register to be kept in the
Court of Common Pleas at Dublin and at Westminster respectively for that
purpose, and to be called in the Court of Common Pleas at Dublin "The Register
for English Judgments", and to be called in the Court of Common Pleas at
Westminster "The Register for Irish Judgments", and shall from the date of
such registration be of the same force and effect, and all proceedings shall
and may be had and taken on such certificate, as if the judgment of which it
is a certificate had been a judgment originally obtained or entered up on the
date of such registration as aforesaid in the court in which it is so
registered; and all the reasonable costs and charges attendant upon the
obtaining and registering such certificate shall be recovered in like manner
as if the same were part of the original judgment: Provided always, that no
certificate of any such judgment shall be registered as aforesaid more than
twelve months after the date of such judgment, unless application shall have
been first made to and leave obtained from the court or a judge of the court
in which it is sought so to register such certificate.
