HC Deb 23 July 1867 vol 188 c2071
MR. BOUVERIE

asked, What arrangement is proposed to be made respecting the Judgeship and business in the Admiralty Court?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

said, he believed that it was not intended to hand over the business of the Admiralty Court to the Judge of the Court of Probate. An offer of the Judgeship had been made to an eminent individual, but he believed that no answer had as yet been received.

MR. BOUVERIE

wished to know whether the offer was accompanied by a condition that in case any alteration was made by Parliament no claim for compensation could be entertained?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

No doubt the offer has been made with requisite discretion.
