§ Mr. LARDNERasked the Chief Secretary whether he is aware that in the year 1910 payment was authorised in respect of fourteen days' revision for the counties of Monaghan and Fermanagh, that payment was made for twelve days' revision in Fermanagh, and that subsequently, although the revision court sat in Clones for three days, the Treasury Remembrancer declined to pay the assistant clerk of the 1142W peace more than two days' remuneration; and will he inquire whether the court actually sat three days; and, if so, will he take steps to insure the payment of this official for the work which he actually did?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe facts are as stated in the Question. The total number of days in respect of which payment was authorised for revision in Fermanagh and Monaghan combined was fourteen. In the end of September a claim was received and payment made for twelve days' revision in Fermanagh. Under the Treasury regulations the Treasury Remembrancer had no power to pay for more than two days' revision in Monaghan.
