§ MR. FIELDTo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the deputy to a county court judge in Ireland is paid a daily remuneration varying from seven to ten guineas, always charged on the Consolidated Fund; and whether the daily remuneration paid to the deputy to a county court judge in England is invariably four guineas, sometimes charged to the Vote and sometimes paid by the county court judge himself; and, if so" whether he proposes to take any action in the matter.
(Answered by Mr. Runciman.) The remuneration of a deputy to a county court judge in Ireland is deducted from the salary of the judge himself, under Section 9of the Act, 14 and 15 Vic. c. 57, and is not a charge on the Consolidated Fund. There appears to be no reason for taking any action in the matter.
