§ MR. CUBITTasked Mr. Attorney General, Whether any arrangement has been made with the two Registrars of Deeds for Middlesex, to the effect that they will not, in the event of the abolition of their offices, claim compensation in respect of the additional fees received by them in consequence of the vacancy of the third Registrarship; and, if not, whether he sees any difficulty in make such an arrangement?
THE ATTORNEY GENERALsaid, in reply, that there would be some difficulty in making an arrangement with the two registrars of deeds for Middlesex to the effect that they would not, in the event of the abolition of their offices, claim compensation in respect of the additional fees received by them owing to the vacancy of the third registrarship. He had communicated with one of the registrars, who said he had no intention to claim any such compensation, and he (the Attorney General) was of opinion that neither of them had the shadow of a claim to it.
