§ MR. HAZLETONI beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether the present Registrar and Clerk of the Crown in the King's Bench Division of the Supreme Court of Judicature in Ireland acted, prior to his promotion to that position, as private secretary to the Lord Chief Justice; whether he still receives, in addition to his salary as registrar and clerk of the Crown, the salary formerly paid to him as private secretary; and whether the chief part of the secretarial work is, as a matter of fact, performed by a writing clerk who is paid out of court fees.
§ MR. RUNCIMANI am informed that the reply to the first two parts of the Question is in the affirmative and to the last in the negative.
