whether this item contained in a scale of
fees made and fixed under the County
Officers and Courts (Ireland) Act, 1872, with
the consent of the Treasury, in February,
1878, had been altered or repealed. To this
letter the following reply was received :—

only County (Kilkenny) where there still
exist a Clerk of the'Peace and a (separate)
Clerk of the Crown.
I am,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
(Signed) T. L. HEATH.
