II.  And whereas it often happens that Actions are delayed by Reason the
Evidences in such Suits are Seafaring Men, or others, whose Business and
Employments call them out of this Province when such Actions should regularly
come to Trial; Be it therefore further Enacted, by the Authority, Advice
and Consent aforesaid, That the Depositions of any such Seafaring Men,
or others, taken before Two Justices of any County Court of this Province,
or one of the Justices of the Provincial Court, in the Presence of the adverse
Party to him that requires such Depositions to be taken, if upon due Notice
he thinks fit to be present, or upon Notice to refuse to be present, (the Notice
being proved) shall be received as good Evidence in any of the Courts
within this Province, as if such Evidence were personally present upon the
Trial, and should deliver the same Vivâ Voce.

    III.  And be it further Enacted, by the Authority aforesaid, That from and
after the End of this present Session of Assembly, it shall and may be lawful 
for any person or Persons that shall conceive themselves aggrieved by any Decree
of the Chancery Court, to have an Appeal to the Governor and Council
of this Province, for the Time being, wherein each Member shall have a full
Voice.

    IV.  And be it further Enacted, by the Authority aforesaid, by and with the 
Advice and Consent aforesaid, That one Act of Assembly, made at a Session of
Assembly begun and held at the City of Annapolis, the Twenty-Second Day 
of April, Anno Domini One Thousand Seven Hundred and Eighteen, entitled,
An Act to limit the Continuance of Actions in several Courts within this Province,
and ascertaining the Manner of taking the Evidence of Seafaring Men, and for
granting Appeals from the Chancery Court to the Governor and Council; and one
other Act made at a Session of Assembly begun and held at the aforesaid City
of Annapolis, the Eleventh Day of October, in the Year of our Lord One 
Thousand Seven Hundred and Twenty, entitled, A Supplementary Act to the
Act to limit the Continuance of Actions in several Courts within this Province,
and ascertaining the manner of taking the Evidence of Seafaring Men, and for
granting Appeals from the Chancery Court to the Governor and Council, be, and
are hereby utterly repealed and made void.

    V.  And be it also Enacted, That all Actions that were continued in the
Provincial Court from October to April Court last, and from the said
April Court to August or October this present Year, and all other Proceedings
in the said April Court that were postponed, continued or referred to the Second
Tuesday of August this present year, be, and are hereby continued to
the said Second Tuesday of October; any Thing in this, or any former Act
for limiting the Continuance of Actions to the contrary notwithstanding.
