VI. Where Sums have been or shall hereafter be presented by any Grand Jury in Ireland, and applotted on any Houses, Tenements, or Hereditaments, and where, owing to the Alteration of Boundaries or other Causes, it has been or may be found impossible to collect the Sums applotted on any such Houses, Tenements, or Hereditaments respectively, or the Occupiers thereof, it shall be lawful for the Grand Jury, without any previous Application to Presentment Sessions, to re-present all such Sums so remaining unpaid to be paid by the several and respective Townlands, Baronies, or Half Baronies within which the Houses, Tenements, or Hereditaments on which or in respect whereof the Sums remaining unpaid have been or shall hereafter be so applotted as aforesaid shall be situate: Provided always, that in all Cases where the Houses, Tenements, or Hereditaments so charged as aforesaid can be traced out or identified, such Sums so remaining due on such Houses, Tenements, or Hereditaments shall be re-presented thereon: Provided also, that no such Re-presentment shall in any Case be made by the said Grand Jury without previous Examination on Oath (which Oath may be administered by the Foreman of the said Grand Jury, or any Member thereof, in the Presence of the said Grand Jury,) as to the Inability of the Collector to levy same, owing to the Insolvency of the Parties chargeable therewith, or to the Difficulty of tracing out or identifying such Houses, Tenements, or Hereditaments, or other sufficient Cause, notwithstanding all reasonable Exertions having been made by the Collector of such Arrears to enforce Payment thereof, and also that a List or Schedule of such Arrears, and of the Houses, Tenements, or Hereditaments upon which or in respect whereof the Sums remaining unpaid have been applotted, and of the Names of the Parties chargeable therewith, has been duly posted by such Collector at the usual Place for posting Notices for Presentments within the Barony, Division, or other District within which such Collector shall be authorized to collect Grand Jury or County Cess Ten Days at least previous to the First Day of the Assizes at which the said Sums are intended to be re-presented; and it shall be competent for any Parties interested to object to the Re-presentment of such Sums, or any Part thereof, and the Grand Jury shall hear the Objections of such Parties upon their applying to be heard before the Re-presentment is made.
