§ Mr. Shawwished to ask the noble Lord the Secretary for Ireland, whether it were the intention of the Government to introduce any measure relating to the officers of the superior courts of law in Dublin, so as to place them in the same situation as the similar class of officers in Westminster-hall, particularly with respect to superannuation allowances.
§ Viscount Morpethreplied, that the Government was quite friendly to the principle of assimilation between the salaries and superannuations of law officers in England and Ireland. But the Treasury had thought it right to institute some inquiries as to the mode of proceeding, and the scale of payments in the Irish law courts. Until the result of those inquiries was ascertained, he should not be prepared with any proposition upon the subject.
