HC Deb 16 August 1881 vol 265 c39
MR. ERRINGTON

asked Mr. Attorney General for Ireland, Whether his attention has been called to the fact that certain clerks of the peace in Ireland, on whom the Land Bill will impose a great increase of work, are excluded from the provisions of the Bill in favour of the clerks of the peace in the other counties; and, whether he will consider the claims of those clerks to increased salary, or, at all events, to some assistance to. pay for the increased clerical labour which they will have to provide?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. LAW)

was understood to say, in reply, that the Government intended to compensate those officials whose interests would be prejudiced by being called upon to perform extra duties in relation to the Land Bill.
