times, by way of annuity or otherwise, as shall be
adjeded and determined to be due to such peneons
respectively by any commission to be appointed by
his Majesty, or by virtue of an Act of Parliament*
for the purpose of determining the amount of the.

compensation that ought to be due and payable in
such cases; and that in the mean time and until
compensation shall be awarded and determined in
'winner aforesaid, or the time shall have elapsed that

sons as aforesaid, out of the said consolidated fund,
►f such half-yearly or quarterly allowances as to the
said commissioners shall seem reasonable, both as to
the amount and times of payment on account of such
compensation as may thereafter be awarded to the

26. No person shall be entitled to such com-
pensation or allowance as aforesaid, whose appoint-
ment to his office was qualified by any condition or

liament touching the same, or without any claim to
compensation in case the same should cease or be
subjected to any regulation : and no person shall be
retitled to receive any such compensation or allow-
ance who shall not previously make a full and true
statement to the said Commissioners of his Majes-
ty's Treasury, to be verified on 04) before a Judge
or Master in Chancery, if they shall- tit think fit so
to direct, of the • mount of the salary, fees, and.
emoluments of such office, and of the,-disbursements
and outgoings of the same, for the space of ten
years before the passing of this Act ; and that such
compensation or allowance shall cease altogether, or
be reduced in amount, us the case may be, whenever
the party entitled to receive the same shall be placed
in any other public office, of which the salary and
emoluments shall be equal to the whole or to part of
such compensation or allowance, so that in the lust
mentioned case no person shall be entitled to receive
more of such compensation or allowance than shall
be equal to the difference between the full amount
thereof and the amount of the salary and emolu
ments of the office in which he may be hereafter
placed.

several courts abolished by this Act shall, until
otherwise provided by law, be kept by the same
pet sons and in the same places as before the passing
of this Act; and the Court of Common Pleas shall
have the like power and authority to amend the
records of fines and recoveries passed heretofore in
any of the Courts abolished by this Act, as if the
same had been levied, suffered, or had in the Court
of Common Pleas : provided always, that in case of
the death of any such person before' any other pro-
vision shall have been made for keeping such re-
cords, muniments, and writings, the custody thereof
shall be with the clerks of the peace of the several
counties to which counties the same shall respec-
tively belong.
28. Upon all lines which now are, or before the
commencement of this Act shall be, duly. acknow-
ledged in Chester or Wales, proclamation may be
made at the successive Assizes, to be holden under
his Majesty's Commission within the county of
Chester and principality of Wales, before any Judge
of such Assize, during the continuance of his com-
mission, in the same manner and form, and with the
same force and effect, as if the same had been pro-
claimed before the Justices of Chester and Wales or
any of them; any law or usige to the contrary not-
withstanding.
29. All fines or recoveries to be levied and suf-
fered altcithe commencement of this Act of lends,
tenements, or hereditaments in the county of Ches-
ter, or principality of Wales, shall be levied and
suffered in such and the like manner, and the same
officers shall be emp!oyetl therein, as in the cases of
tines and recoveries now levied or suffered, of lands,
tenements, hereditaments in any county of England,.
not being a county palatine.
30. Nothing in this Act contained shall be taken
to affect the right of any lessee by patent under the
Crown, or of any pensioner or other person lawfully
entitled to any portion of the money payable upon
lines and recoveries of 'minors, lands, or tenements
in the county of Chester, or principality of Wales,
but the same shall be paid by the proper officer of
the Court of Common Pleas, who shall receive the
same, to the party entitled thereto, as heretofore.
31. In all cases where any trust for charitable
uses, or of a public nature, lass been cast on the
Judges of the courts hereby abolished, the Lord
Chancellor, for the time being, or the Judges of
Assize, upon their circuits in the county of Chester,
or principality of Wales, Inlay appoint, by tiny writ-
ing under their hands, such other trustees us they
shall think fit, which trustees so named shall have
the same powers, and be subject to the same rules
and duties, as the trustees for whom they are sub-
stituted.

32. Corporate or other officers to take the same
oaths before the Judges hereby appointed, as they
did before the Judges of the courts abolished by this
Act.

33. And whereas it is expedient that the ac-
counts of the Sheriff of the county of Chester, and
the principality of Wales, should be passed as nearly
as ell CUMSNIICCS will admit, in the same manlier as
heretofore, it is therefore enacted, that the Clerk of
Assize, within ten days after the conclusion of the
ussizes in the county of Chester, and in each county
in Wales, shall make out a roll, containing the names
anti places of residence of all persons liable to the
payment of any Goes, &c., or other sums forfeited
during the preceding assizes, ,vith the sums set op-
posite to each name, and forthwith transmit the same
to the Sheriff, with an order signed in the name of
one of the Judges of Assize, directing the Sheriff to
cause such sums to be levied from the parties liable
thereto, which order shall be of the same force, and
be returnable to the same persons, us any writ, &e.,
heretofore issued to the Sheriff for the like purpose,
and the Sheriff, on receipt thereof, shall levy the
sums in the said roll mentioned, and account for
the same in the same manner and at the same time
as heretofore.
34. The several persons holding, within the
counties of Wales and Chester, the office of his
Majesty's Attorney-General, shall, until his Ma-
jesty's pleasure be otherwise declared, continue
(within their several places anti comities where they
are now entitled to exercise such office) to have
in person ottly, and not by deputy, the seine rank,
name of office, privileges, fees, and emoluments,
which by any law or custom they have hitherto
enjoyed, except such fees us would necessarily
cease with the courts and jurisdictions abolished by
this Act.

35. And whereas the general quarter sessions of
the peace are now directed to be held in each year,
in the first week after the 11th day of October, in
the first week after the Epiphany, in the first week
utter the clause of Easter, and in the first week after
the translation of St. Thomas the Martyr : and
whereas it will be expedient that the times of hold-
ing the general quarter sessions of the peace should
be altered in part; be it therefore enacted, that in
and after the year 1831, the justices of the peace in
every county, riding, or division for
,which quarter
sessions of the peace by law ought to be held, shall
hold their general quarter sessions of the peace in
the first weak after the 11th day of October, in the
first week after the 28th day of December, in the
Brat week after the :flat day of March, and in the
.first week after the with day of June ; and that all
acts, matters, and things done, performed, and
transacted at the times appointed by this Act for
the holding of the general quarter Sessions of the
