Accountant-General's Accounts.
AT the request of the Lord Chancellor the
Council
have
considered
the
form
of
Accountant-General's account hitherto
in
use in the High Court with a view to its
improvement. The Council have had before
them the forms in use in the Supreme Court
Pay Office of the Royal Courts of Justice,
London. A Committee of the Council have
had interviews with the Accountant-General,
and a new form has now been settled, and
has been approved by the Lord Chancellor
and Judges of the Chancery Division. The
account will in future be in book form, and
when lodged to be made up will be written
up to date, but will not be balanced. An
Accountant-General's certificate showing the
balances of stocks and cash to credit will be
issued as heretofore when required.

In reply to the inquiry whether Regulations

letter has been received :—

Estate Duty Office,
Custom House, Dublin,
Hth June, 1915.
DEAR SIR,
In reply to your letter of the llth inst., 1
write to say that no " Regulations " under
the Death Duties (Killed in War) Act, 1914,
have been issued by the Commissioners of
Inland Revenue, but
in
the
instructions
issued by them to the Officers of this Depart
ment, the applications for remission of duty
under Section 1 of the Act must, in the first
instance, be made to the Admiralty or the
War Office, as the case requires, who, if
satisfied that the case comes within the Act,
makes the necessary recommendation to the
Commissioners of Inland Revenue, and the
matter is then dealt with by this Office in
the regular course.
The cases falling under Section 2 of the
Act are dealt with by the Office without
reference to the Treasury.
Yours faithfully,
*
