§ MR. O'DOWD (Sligo, S.)To ask Mr. Attorney-General whether he will state what are the total fees payable, by stamp duty and otherwise, by gentlemen appointed to His Majesty's Commission of the Peace in England, because of their appointment.
(Answered by Sir John Walton.) The only amount payable to Crown officials by English magistrates on their appointment to His Majesty's Commission of the Peace is the sum of one pound, payable to the Exchequer on the insertion of the names, 1379 irrespective of number, in a Commission of the Peace. With regard to the fees payable locally to clerks of the peace I beg to refer you to my replies to the hon. Member for the Guildford Division of Surrey on May 2nd and June 14th respectively.†
