§ The ATTORNEY-GENERALI beg to move, in page 142, line 10, at the end, to insert:
(c) nothing in this Section shall be construed as excluding the Office of judge of the Federal Court or of a High Court from the operation of the provisions of this chapter with respect to the eligibility for civil Office of persons who are not British subjects.?This is a drafting Amendment consequential upon the new Clause which we added to the Bill enabling State subjects to be appointed in certain circumstances to Offices under the Crown.
§ Amendment agreed to.
§ The ATTORNEY-GENERALI beg to move, in page 142, line 25, after "liability," to insert:
to pay a pension granted to or in respect of any such person or any other liability.This is of the same character of the last Amendment but one. It makes it clear that the liability to pay a pension extends to liability to pay a pension to dependants of the judge in order to avoid any inference that the liability to pay a pension is made a new ground of suit.
§ Amendment agreed to.
