§ MR. A. C. MORTONI beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware that the Clerk of the Peace for the County of London has demanded a fee of five guineas each from the Justices who have recently been appointed by the Lord Chancellor; and whether he will inquire into the matter?
§ MR. ASQUITHI am informed that the fee in the case has been duly authorised and goes to the County Fund, the clerk being paid by salary. But the matter seems to me to be one which calls for further inquiry.
