Actions against justices for acts done in execution of duty.

1.] Every action hereafter to be brought against any justice of the peace in
Ireland in any of Her Majesty's superior courts of law at [Belfast] for any
act done by him in the execution of his duty as such justice, with respect to
any matter within his jurisdiction as such justice, shall be an action on the
case as for a tort; and in the declaration it shall be expressly alleged that
such act was done maliciously, and without reasonable and probable cause; and
