Vol. 3 No. 19

COMMITTEE ON FINANCE—ESTIMATES FOR PUBLIC SERVICES. - COUNTY COURT OFFICERS.

I beg to move:

"That a sum not exceeding £49,203 be granted to complete the sum necessary to defray the charge which will come in the course of payment during the year ending the 31st March, 1924, for the salaries, allowances, and expenses of various County Court officers, bonus to Chairmen at Quarter Sessions and Recorders and to Clerks of the Crown and Peace, and the expenses of revision." (A sum of £26,000 had already been voted on account.) Much of the expenditure provided for in this Estimate is covered by Statute, and therefore there is little comment called for. The provision hitherto made in this Vote for Resi dent Magistrates is now superseded by the separate Vote for District Justices (Vote 37). Under sub-head (c) the rehearing of a number of compensation cases will increase the travelling, etc., expenses of both Judges and Registrars but the main increase in this sub-head represents the estimated cost of the allowances for travelling and subsistence of County Court Registrars which were formerly chargeable under sub-head A3.

Question put and agreed to.
