14. Provided always, that if at any time or times it shall be ascertained by affidavit or otherwise, to the satisfaction of the lord chancellor of Ireland or the lord keeper or the commissioners for the custody of the great seal of Ireland, that any officer of the said court hath not in his office sufficient room for the reasonable accommodation of himself, his deputies and assistants, and of a sufficient number of clerks to do and perform the business so required to be done in such office as aforesaid, then and in every such case it shall and may be lawful to and for such lord chancellor, lord keeper, or commissioners, to make an order declaring that the same has been so proved, and that it shall be lawful for such officer to cause, direct, or permit any such copy, or any part thereof, to be made in any place and by any person whatever; and that for every copy or part of a copy which shall be so made in any other place than the said office, such officer, in ascertaining and charging his fees in respect thereof, shall allow out of the fees usually payable on such copies or parts of copies one penny halfpenny for every office sheet thereof; and every such order shall be good and valid, and shall be a sufficient justification in all respects to any person acting in pursuance thereof, for one year from the date thereof, unless sooner rescinded, and shall and may be renewed from time to time, until, by reason of new buildings or new arrangements or otherwise, sufficient room shall have been obtained for the purposes in that behalf aforesaid; and the residue only of the fees to which such officer would then be lawfully entitled in case such copying had been regularly done in his office, which shall remain after such deduction as aforesaid, shall be deemed and taken to be the lawful fees or fee of such officer in such case.
