holden, on which so much of the public rit.iney had
been expended, and to transail this eery important
business with more regularity in future. •
It seems to have been the original intention of
Lieutenant General 1)e. Lances', that the Law Clerk
should do the tastiness of the Attorney of the office;
in fall, however, be the in the charader of Counsel,
there being also Solicitors employed by the office,
whenever there. is occasion ; bet,. in general, the
papers referred to the Law Clerk for his opinion. are
seat immediately to hies from the office, without
the intervention of the Solicitor ; and (as we have
already stated) it is considered as apart of the Jeri-
of the principal Asssistant Barrack-Master General
for the general inspection 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 fee
nor emokusent beyond . his salary of two hur.-
dred ponodisper annum ; nal if the arrangement
of the business, which we have above uoticeJ,
leaking the intervention of the Solicitors in most
Cases unnecessary, can he continued, it will of
course save a considerable expense to' the Offilit:
but we are informed by the present law Clei-k, that
the examination of the 'rides is by no means in a
state of forwardness, and that he funds it requisite
to'have the abuttals made out in a regular profes-
sional manner. However, since the passing of the
Defence AA, lI th of June 1803, which authorises
the taking for the public service any piece of ground
which shall be certified to be necessary, by the Lord
Lieutenant, or two Deputy 'Lieutenants, of the
county where the land is situated,• the trouble at-
tending the examination of titles and coetraets fax
land must be much diminished, though the law
Clerk is still consulted whenever any difficulty arises.
as to the mode of proceeding under that Aft. Oa
the whole. it seems to us, that the business of the
Barrack Office is fully sufficient to warrant the
continuance of the Law Clerk, at his present Ware
of two hundred pounds per enemas.
These are the officers particularly conneded with
the Barrack Office i.l England. There are others
forming a detached branch at Edinburgh. consist-
ing of one principal Assistant Barrack Master-Ge-
neral, with one assistant architalt, 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 Department. whose duties are discharged at a
distance from the oSee • these are, the Assistant
Barrack Masters Generafattached to &arias, and
the Resident Barrack Masters, Sec. having the
charge of barracks, and other public buildings.
For the particular details respeaing the detses of
the Assistant Barrack Masters General, we refer to
the accounts of duties given in the Appendix. and
F
particularly to the examination of M Once.
Assistant Barrack Master General for Keutids
distria. 'their duties and powers are a the sae%
with the exception. that the Assistant Barrack Mee-
ter General at Gibraltar has the discretionary power
to make repairs, without reference to the fleetest
Office, when the eapence is estimated not to excised
fifty pounds.
