SECT. 2. That all such rules, orders, and regulations, with all convenient speed after the same shall be made, altered, or amended, and so from time to time after every making, altering, or amending thereof, shall be exhibited in writing to the Justices of the Peace assembled at the General Quarter Sessions of the Peace, or at any adjournment thereof, in and for the county, riding, division, or shire, where such Society shall be established, and such rules, orders, and regulations, shall be subject to the review of such Justices, who shall and may, after due examination thereof, at the then, or the then next subsequent Session, annul and make void all such rules, orders, or regulations, as shall be repugnant to this act, and shall allow and confirm all such rules, orders, and regulations, as shall be conformable to the true intent and meaning of this act; and after the confirmation thereof by such Justices, all such rules, orders, and regulations, so confirmed, shall be signed by the Clerk of the Peace at such Sessions, and a duplicate thereof, being first fairly wrote on parchment, shall be deposited with the Clerk of the Peace at such Sessions, to be by him filed with the rolls of the Sessions there, without any fee to be paid for any matter or thing relating to the same; and such rules, orders, and regulations, approved of and confirmed by the Justices, and filed as aforesaid, shall be binding upon all parties during the continuance of the same, &c.
