§ MR. MORTONI beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether his attention has been called to the vacancy, caused by the death of Lord Romilly, in the office of Clerk of the Emoluments; and whether he will consider the advisability of not making a fresh appointment, on the ground that the office is now a sinecure?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. W. H. SMITH,) Strand, WestminsterThe Clerk of Enrolments, which is, I presume, the office intended to be referred to, is abolished under the terms of the Supreme Court of Judicature Officers' Act of 1869.
