§ MR. TOMLINSON (Preston)asked the Secretary to the Treasury, Whether Her Majesty's Government would object to make an amended Return, pursuant to s. 38 of "The Supreme Court of Judicature Act, 1875" (38 & 39 Vict. c. 77), so as to show separately, in respect to each Division of the High Court of Justice, the actual cost of the administration of Justice in such Division and the amount of the stamps and fees received from suitors and applicants in the same Division?
§ THE SECRETARY (Mr. JACKSON) (Leeds, N.)I am afraid I cannot adopt this suggestion. There would be great difficulty in giving separate accounts of the receipts and expenditure in the several Divisions of the High Court. Many of the administrative departments of the Court perform services for all the Divisions; and it would be almost impossible to accurately separate in each ease the receipts and expenditure properly applicable to each Division.
§ MR. TOMLINSONasked if any approximation could be arrived at?
§ MR. JACKSONsaid, he would consider the matter.
