Jurors in the county of the city of Belfast may be summoned by post. 22. Provided, that in the county of the city of [Belfast] jurors may be summoned as aforesaid, or in the manner following; that is to say, the sheriff or other proper officer may make out a summons as herein-before prescribed, and such summons, having the words "jury summons" legibly written or printed on the same side as the address, may be sent open by the post, prepaid and directed to the person so required to serve as a juror, at his place of abode, as described in the "general jurors book," which said summons together with a duplicate indorsed with the name and address of the juror to whom the original summons is directed, shall be taken to the postmaster of any post office where money orders are received or paid within such hours as shall have been previously agreed upon at such post office, and [the postmaster, upon receipt of the fee (if any) exigible for so doing, shall] compare the address of the said summons with that of the duplicate, and, on being satisfied that they are alike, shall forward the summons to its address by the post, and shall return the duplicate to the party bringing the same, duly stamped with the stamp of the post office, and the production by the party who posted such summons of such stamped duplicate shall be evidence of the summons having been delivered at the dwelling-house of the person whose name and address are therein indorsed at the place mentioned in such indorsement on the day on which such summons would, in the ordinary course of post, have been delivered, provided it shall appear that the same was not returned by the post office as undelivered, and any summons sent by the post office as before mentioned, and not so returned as undelivered, shall be considered in all respects as duly served, and in the event of any person to whom any summons shall be addressed being ascertained to be dead or to have permanently left the place to which such summons is addressed, the postmaster or letter carrier of the place in which the summons shall then be shall indorse thereon the reason for the non-delivery thereof, and forward the same in the usual course of post to the returned letter office ..., in order that it may be returned to the sender: Provided always, that when any summons shall be served by post two additional days shall be allowed for the transmission of such summons by post over and above the number of days required by law for the service of a summons before the day on which the juror is required to attend, and any ... fees and postage paid by the said sheriff or other officer for the summoning of jurors by post, under the provisions of this Act, shall be defrayed in the same way as the expenses incurred ... in the execution of this Act.
