Arrangements shall be made for hearing any such appeals without delay, and, as far as possible, continuously.
(2) Any such statement made by the revising barrister for the purpose of any such appeal may be made at any time within ten days after the conclusion of the revision, and the statement need not be read in open court, but shall be submitted to the appellant, who, if he approves the same, shall sign the same as directed by section forty-two of the said Act, and return the same to the revising barrister.
