Restumping house caused serious damage to beam

Hi, I've haven't been able to get anyone to come out and re-stump my house for years. Simply it's to far to travel, as I live in a really remote part of Australia. My house was build in the 1940's, and is constructed of weatherboard, wood and been stumped on logs. Unfortunately over time these wooden log stumps have rotted and caused the house to slop down on the outside walls, which has caused the floors to slop down as well. Basically I have been using small truck hydraulic jacks to raise house and placed temporary stir-ups between log stumps and have gone back and replaced log stumps with cement footings and brick stumps. Everything has gone well until now. The problem: :? If you could imagine my lounge room is connected to my kitchen like an "L" shape (lounge room is out further than kitchen). The vertical part of the "L" is the wall with a window on it and horizontal part is a wall that connects to wall between Lounge room and Kitchen wall. Both parts are external walls. At the intersection is a stump, which I jacked up the walls and the structural beam cracked and broke. :oo: House is still standing and I have propped up the floors with loose bricks. :aro-r: Now the problem is how do I fix the beam? Its about 60 cm from the end of the beam, just between stumps and centimeters before the stir-up. Can anyone give me some suggestions on what I can do to fix this? Can I just simply cut it out and replace it? Use metal plate to bring it back together? Any ideas would help...
:doh:
