HC Deb 07 June 1869 vol 196 c1299
MR. BRUCE

said, he wished to correct a statement he made the other day with respect to the number of clerks to justices and of clerks of the peace whose payment by fees had been commuted into salaries. Misled by a Return, he stated that in about thirty counties the clerks of the peace had been subject to the change, but he now understood the number was much less, and the commutation had been made with respect to clerks to the justices in the greater part of about nine counties and in about forty or fifty boroughs.
