§ 2. The proceedings of the Clerk of the board of County Commissioners of said county of St. Croix in opening the returns and making abstracts of the votes polled at the last election in said county for county officers, with the assistance of only one Justice of the Peace instead of two as required by law is hereby declared to be as legal, binding and valid, as though the said Clerk had taken to his assistance, two Justices of the Peace; and the several persons to whom certificates of election for county officers in said county have been given, are hereby declared to be duly elected to said offices.

§3. The county of St. Croix shall constitute a probate district and the jurisdiction of the Judge of Probate for said district shall be co-extension with said county.

§ 5.

6. The qualifications, rights, liabilities, powers and duties of the Judge of Probate, appointed by this act and

hereafter to be elected according to its provisions, shall be the same as prescribed by law for Judges of Probate in the other counties of the Territory.

§ 7. That the official acts of the said Philip Aldrich as Judge of Probate performed by him since the first Monday of June last shall in no wise be affected for the reason that the said acts were performed by him after the time limited by law for the expiration of his office, but all such official acts and every proceeding of said Philip Aldrich as such Judge of Probate are hereby declared to be as legal and valid as though the time limited by law for the termination of his office had not expired when the said official acts were performed and said proceedings were had.
