        Section 1.  Deeds defectively executed under power of
     attorney
        Whenever any deed of conveyance or other instrument of
     writing has been heretofore executed or acknowledged, or both,
     under any power sufficiently authorizing the same, which power
     has been recited in said deed or other instrument, shall have
     been informally executed by an attorney in his own name,
     reciting his authority, instead of being executed in the name of
     the principal or principals, such deed or other instrument shall
     be taken to be of the same validity and effect as if executed in
     the name and behalf of the principal or principals as a party or
     parties thereunto: Provided, That no case heretofore decided
     judicially shall be affected by this act.  1897, May 25, P.L.
