Schedule
or in
                any other prescribed form, the name, residence, and occupation of the person by whom
                the bill was made or given, or, in case the same was made or given by any person
                under or in the execution of process, then the name, residence, and occupation of
                the person against whom such process was issued, and also the name of the person to
                whom or in whose favour the bill was given, and the other particulars shown in the
                said form or to be prescribed under this Ordinance, and shall number all such bills

On the registration of any affidavit of renewal, the like entry shall be made, with the addition of the date and number of the last previous entry relating to the same bill, and the bill of sale or copy originally filed shall be thereupon marked with the number affixed to such affidavit of renewal.
