§ 57. Mr. HOPKINasked the Attorney-General in view of the great increase in the scope and importance of the duties of Judges of County Courts, if he is now prepared to revise their salaries?
§ The SOLICITOR-GENERALAny alteration in the salaries of County Court Judges could only be effected by an Act amending the County Courts Act, 1888, by which the present salaries were fixed, and I am unable in the present state of Parliamentary business to hold out any hope that the Government could undertake to introduce a Bill on the subject in the immediate future.
§ Sir K. WOODWould it not be possible to effect certain economies in other legal expenditure in order to add to the salaries of County Court Judges?
