9 & 10 Vict. c. 93, s. 3.
(2) Every such action shall be for the benefit of the same person, or persons, and shall be subject to the same regulations and procedure, as nearly as may be, as if it had been brought by and in the name of such executor or administrator.
6. In every such action the plaintiff on the record shall be required, on taking out the writ of summons in such action, to deliver to the defendant or his solicitor a full particular of the person or persons for whom and on whose behalf such action is brought and of the nature of the claim in respect of which damages are sought to be recovered.
7.--(1) If, in any such action as aforesaid, the defendant is advised to pay money into court, it shall be sufficient if he pays it as a compensation in one sum to all persons entitled under this Ordinance for his wrongful act, neglect, or default, without specifying the shares into which it is to be divided by the jury, if any, or by the court, if there is no jury.
(2) If the said sum is accepted in full satisfaction of the plaintiff's claim, the court or judge shall have power, either at the trial or on a summons for that purpose, to apportion the same amongst the parties, if more than one, entitled thereto.
(3) If the said sum is not accepted, and an issue is taken by the plaintiff as to its sufficiency, and the jury or court, as the case may be, think or thinks the same sufficient, the defendant shall be entitled to the verdict or judgment upon that issue.
8. Not more than one action shall lie for and in respect of the same subject-matter of complaint; and every such action shall be commenced within twelve months after the death of the person whose death has been so caused as aforesaid.
