That a supplementary sum not exceeding Eleven Thousand, One Hundred and Sixty-eight Pounds be granted to defray the charge which will come in course of payment during the year ending the 31st March, 1927, for the expenses of Criminal Prosecutions and other Law Charges, including a grant in relief of certain expenses payable by Statute out of local rates.
The purpose of this vote is to meet an amount which was advanced for a deposit in connection with the proceedings that are going on in America with reference to the Dáil funds. This sum has been carried as a suspense account in the Law Charge Vote for some time. It was expected that the proceedings would have terminated before this and that the amount would have been recovered. However, the proceedings are dragging on, and we have now reached a point where there will not be a surplus in the Law Charges Vote that would enable this to be carried over. Consequently, this supplementary estimate is being presented. There will possibly be a certain loss in the amount because of the exchange variations, but the amount will be recoverable. It was first put on deposit but has since been invested in United States 4¼ per cent. Liberty Bonds.
