Landlord and Tenant Law Amendment Act, Ireland 1860

Proof of contents of lease by counterpart or copy.

23. In all actions, suits, and proceedings, proof by or on behalf of any landlord of the perfection of the counterpart of any lease shall be equivalent to proof of the perfection of the original lease; and in case it shall appear that no counterpart existed, or that the counterpart has been lost, destroyed, or mislaid, proof of a copy of the original lease or counterpart, as the case may be, shall be sufficient evidence of the contents of the lease as against the lessee or any person claiming from or under him.
