INCRLAFIED SALARY TO THE Jorrica climm ot Till

DAIDVONT DIVISION.
Mr. It. P. Ouxottr brought forward his proposition
respecting an incry is., in the salary of the justices' clerk
of the Bridport division of the county; and read the
thedutions, which *ere unanituoutly agreed
t.i by the uiagierates in that dicijion :—" Rianlvord,—
That, according to the returns furnished of the business
of the varions ottr clerk's salary is lower
than any other click's in the comity of Toorret."
—'' That we recommend that the salary of the cl•rk of
the Bridport division be fixed at a rata peoportioeate to
thst of the other division," lib stated that WIWI dis-
eussio• moos on this subject at the last sessions, when
the Court decided that the justica4 of the Bridgmet
division should ascertain the amount of salary paid to
other clerks. Notices had been sent to them that
effect, but no specific sum had been named, and under
these circumstances be was wilhng to leave be matter
n tbe hands of the Finanot Committee.

The CisllllaN 'viole4 out that when Mr. Fox was
formerly ju-tices' cl.trk for the Bridport division, how,.
saVatled with £4O a-year ; his son, who succeeded him,
found this to be insufficient, and the (\not readily gave
him £BO. lie (the ('hairmen), however, was booed to
say that the sum which was originally estimated for the
clerk in the Bridvort divisoin teas more than £ll5.
After some fvt leer discussion it was dtcided that the
salary should be raised horn 1.130 to I:115 per annual.
