MR. DALZIEL (Kirkcaldy, &c.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury why the Roman Catholic Chaplain to the Glasgow Barlinnie Prisons, with a daily population of 1,200 and annual commitments of 27,000, receives only £100 a year, with neither house allowance nor right to pension, whereas the Roman Catholic Chaplain to Liverpool Prison, with a daily population of 1,000 and annual commitments of 1,900, receives £300 a year, together with a house and right to pension?
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Sir J. GORST,) ChathamI have no information as to the accuracy or otherwise of the numbers quoted. Salaries are fixed after communication with the responsible Department; and it is impossible for me to compare the various considerations, no doubt quite satisfactory in each case, which justify the respective amounts.
