Go ndeontar suim breise ná raghaidh thar £10 chun íoctha an Mhuirir a thiocfaidh chun bheith iníoctha i rith na bliana dar crioch an 31adh Márta, 1943, chun Tuarastail agus Liúntaisí agus Costaisí Oifigeach Cúirte Cuarda, Leas-Bhreithiún Cuarda agus Udarásanna Clarathachta Aitiúla airithe; Costaisí Taistil Breithiún Cuarda; agus na gCostaisí alos Liostaí Vótálaithe agus Giúrithe d'Athscrúdú (Uimh. 27 de 1926, etc.).
That a supplementary sum, not exceeding £10, be granted to defray the Charge which will come in course of payment during the year ending March 31st, 1943, for the Salaries, Allowances and Expenses of Circuit Court Officers, Deputy Circuit Judges and certain local Registering Authorities; the Travelling Expenses of Circuit Judges; and the Expenses of Revision of Voters and Jurors Lists (No. 27 of 1926, etc.).
This is merely a token Vote which has become necessary owing to an excess on the gross Vote brought about by increases in expenditure on sub-heads A and B. The additional sum required for sub-head A is £500 to meet the increase in the cost-of-living bonus. For sub-head B a sum of £450 is required to meet excess expenditure due to the increase in the cost of travelling and subsistence rates for judges, county registrars, court stenographers and judges' criers.
In the ordinary course, the excess could be provided for out of savings on the various sub-heads, but during the year the duties of under-sheriffs were taken over by county registrars in four counties, and savings were absorbed in providing for extra staffs for that work in Circuit Court offices.
There has, however, been an increase under sub-head E—Appropriations-in-Aid—of fees received on foot of the execution of court orders and Land Commission warrants out of which the whole amount of the excess can be paid.
