Wading 'wench ; and this citcumststace close wan
certainly sufficient to make it expedient to hare
seine professional person in the erriphkraent.of the
ice, to ascertain by what tenure the land war,
holden, on which so much of the public money had
been expended, and to transadt this eery iroportart
business with more regularity in future. •
It seems to Is.tve been the original intention of
Lieutenant General 1)e Lancet', that the Law Clerk
should do the brininess of the Attorney of the office;
in lid, however, be ads in the char-after of Counsel,
there being also Solicitors employed by the cffice.
whenever there. is occasion ; boy. in general, the
papers referred to the Law Clerk for his opinion. are
seat immediately to him from the office, without
the intervention of the Solicitor ; and (as we have
already stated) it is considered as a part of the dory
lof the principal Asssistant Barrack-Master General
1 for the general inspettion of barracks, to arrange
the papers and documents relating to the property
of the Barrack Department. for the Law Clerk's
examination.
For these duties the Law Clerk receives no ft.
nor emoisment beyond-. his salary of two hun-
dred powsdaper annum ; nal if the arrangement
of the business, which we have ahoet noticeJ.
raking the intervention of the Solicitors in most
Cases unnecessary, can he colnieued, it will of
course save a considerable expense to the Ofhlie:
but we are informed by the present -Law Clerk, that
the examination of the Titles is by no means in a
state of forwardness, and that he finds it requisite
to-have the abstracts made out in a regular profes-
sional manner. However, since the passing of the
Defence Ad, It th of June 1803, which authorises
the taking for the public service any piece of ground
which shall be certified to be Reoesiary, by (Ise Lori
Lieutenant, or two Deputy -Lieutenants, of the
county where the land is situated,- the trouble at-
tending the examination of titles and cootratts foe
land must be much diminished, though the law
Clerk is still consulted whenever any difficulty arises.
as to the mode of proceeding under that A. Oa
the whole. it seems to us, that the business of the
Barrack Office is fully sufficient to warrant tle
continuance of the Law Clerk, at his patient salary
of two hundred pounds per ariaaaa.
These are the officers particularly canna:Led with
the Barrack Office la England. There are others
forming a detached branch at Edinburgh. consist-
ing of one principal Assistant Barrack Master-Ge-
neral, with one assistant architect, five clerks, and
one messenger, whose duties and salaries are the
same as those holding similar situations in Eng-
land.
There are other offices appertaining to the Bar-
rack Depanmeat. whose duties are discharged at a
distance from the °So •' these are, the Assistant
Barrack Masters General at' ached to distritts, and
the Resident Barrack Masters, ace. haring the
charge of barracks. and other public buildings.
For the particular details respeding the duties of
the Assistant Barrack Masters General. we refer to
the accounts of duties given in the Appendix. and
F
particularly to the examination of 114 bract.
Assistant Barrack Master General for Kentish
distria. Their duties and powers area the same,
with the exception. that the Assistant Barrack bies
ter General at Gibraltar has the discretionary potent
to make repairs, without reference to the Barrack
Office, when the expellee is estimated not to enema
fifty pounds.
