§ MATTER—considered in Committee.
§ (In the Committee.)
§
Motion made, and Question proposed'
That it is expedient to authorise the payment, out of moneys to be provided by Parlia-
1497
ment, of a salary to any Registrar of a County Court, who may be required to give his whole time to the public service, under the provisions of any Act of the present Session to consolidate and amend the County Court Acts.
§ MR. BIGGAR (Cavan, W.)objected.
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. JACKSON) (Leeds, N.)said, he hoped this merely formal Resolution would be agreed to. Unless it were passed, salaries that might become payable under this Consolidation Bill could not be paid, nor could the provision be made in the Bill.
CONYBEARE (Cornwall, Camborne)said, he wished to know substantially what it meant, for he had never heard of it before. Of course, he was aware that it was a formal Resolution. He noticed that a salary was to be given to Registrars giving their whole time to the Public Service; but he had supposed they could be required to do that already. Did the Bill make any alteration in the status of County Court Registrars?
§ MR. JACKSONsaid, no; there was no alteration of status.
§ Question put, and agreed to.
§ Resolution to be reported To-morrow.
