HC Deb 28 March 1843 vol 68 cc39-40
Dr. Nicholl

(in answer to a question from Lord R. Grosvenor) said, that he would lay before the House, the returns referred to as far as they had been made out. Other returns, which would be ready, would refer to the changes to be made in the prerogative and other ecclesiastical courts in the metropolis. It would be seen, by the returns, that under the new arrangements of the see of Canterbury the Courts were much more economical than the old, and that the reduction in salaries, &c. in them would be from 24,700l. to 16.320l. In the York Courts, the reduction of expense would he from 3,900l. to 1,900l. In some of the Diocesan and Archidiaconal Courts there would be a saving. The only new offices created in the metropolis would be, one usher, at 100l. a-year; a judge's clerk, at 150l. and an accountant, at a salary of 200l. The only new officers in the country were the judges in the new courts of Manchester and Ripon, and their officers.
