Sir Y. Thesiger le this sir had obtained a role nisi,

ing them to award compensation to a Mr. Wright for the
lees of his 0111411 of crier and registrar of the old Middlesex
Comely Court, and also for the loss of his fees as the clerk
of the Bloomsbury County Court. it was coder the
9th & 10th Vie., cap. 96, that the apolmatios was made.
That statute enacted that there should be several district
meaty courts in the plat.* of the County Court of Middle-
sex,
_and that the c'.erk of the Middlesex County Court
should be the first judge of one of the new district riurts.
This judge was to hove the option of selecting the crier and
mitres of the old court as the list claik of the new die-
trio court. Under the act of parliament before referred to,
Mr. Wright was appointed first clerk of the Bloomsbury
County Court, and up to the year 1949 his remuneration
we. by means of fees; but in that year an act was
passed by whist, the fees were dans away with, and a fixed
salary of 3001. pair annum substituted. Mr. Wright claimed
compensation io respect of these fees, en the ground that
they had amounted to more thee 6001. a year.
The Solicitor.tieneral now showed eases elitist the rule.
He couteeded that, ooterithdanding The office of enter and
registrar had been abolished, Mr. Wright had been ap-
pointed to an office the pecuniary &demotic's of which were
larger the. those of the office whisk had been dose away
with. Under times circuits:anus be (du SolicitoriCienerat)
submitted that Mr. Wright had no dais fee tompersatien.
That gentlemen grounded his application upoo the fact that
he was appointed by the est of pardroment icelf, and not
Mier " the puling of the set," which were the word/ actually
used la the *hutment. If, boweviir, the court acted noon
the letter of the statute, and not upon its spirit, still he (the
IBelisitoe.General) submitted that the act of parliament could
not be interpreted in the manner for which Mr. Wright con-
tended. With regard to his claim for fees, that stood upon
exactly :he same ground, as his claim firr compensation in
respect of the old office which be had held.
Sir F. Theatre appeared In supp era of the rule, and
argued that Mr. Wright was entitled wider the provisions of
the sat of parliament to compensation. This was not a
nutter within the dieeretirn of the court, but was one io
which it was cidnpelled to ince a menden:lu. The two
Maims for coma evade° were quite distinct, and Mr. Wright
war enti'led to compensation for the loss i of the oaks of
once and vegisirar of the old County Court of Middlesex,
under the Milt section of the County Courts Act. The
second claim ler compensation was on account of the differ
mom between the amount of fees that he had received u
clerk of the Bloomsbury County Court, and the fixed salary
of 6001. a year, which was now paid to him.
Loft Campbell thought that the rule in this rue should
be ducharged. When sew of parliament were pared for
reforming offices pipe otos the administration of justice it
was very expedient and eery jest those who suffered in their
pecuniary interest. should be fully and amply recompensed.
It was, however, monstrous to say that these reforms should
lead to the priveci advantage of individuals who had esjoyed
officee which were ahrlished. There were two claims which
Mr. Wright here made, without showing that he was pieced
in a worse position now than he was before the act pasted.
He endeavour id to take advantage of the literal words of the
act, au t ithreg oiled the intention of the legislatnre, which
wee to give indenini.y to those only who were injured when
the reforms seem introduced. It was admitted by Mr.
Wright that the situation he held after the passing
of the at placel him is a fetter position than he war before
it pissed. He, however, relied upon the words of the act,
which enacted that any person whoa' Mc • should be affected
or ebidished, should be entitled to make their claim for tom,
pulsation to the Commissioners of the Treasury; but that
must be for bee sustained, and there could be no complus-
tiou without a loss had actually been sustained. The commis-
sioners in mob one were to award such certain amount of
compensation as they should think fit upon the cenanieration
of all the specie' circumstances of the cue. They were not
imperatively required in each ease to award compensation,
even if it should appear that the party spplying war greatly
bettered by the passing of the wt. But ties court must put a
reasonable censtructiou no the language of the legislature.
When the Cunindeeioners of the Treunry had tele.. into
oossiderutiou tic special cireuenstan-es as the essee, if in
their judgment it should appear that compensation was
due, they were to award it. There ought to he no moo I
penutioo, if the salary of the tame office were ilicreased, or
If the set conferred another office ou the claimant, the
salary of wnich was of a greater moist. That was the
case in the present instance. If, upon consideration, it
were found that the act in no way prejudiced the claimant,
in hi. (Lint Campbell's) opinion there ought to be no
compensation awarded. Then the Maim with reward t 4 the
fees ceme underlie cams principle, bemuse the 39tb section
of the sot sal 1 ,at the oompensatios respecting the fees
must be regulated is the like masher as was provided In
the 39th section. The mart most therefore etre whether,
Ise had suffered by reams of the fees being eisherepd for a!
fixed salary, and compare his condition now with what it
was Uwe the act posed, sad if he were a sufferer hy rams 1
of the change he would be 'elided to compensation. 11,
however, be hod received larger fen by reason of the ages
and Moe* fees were abolished, be would still be is as good a
situation as he had been before the posies of the set, and
no compessetio• would be des to him in judge. Ueda
