TitleCorrespondence with Whitehall and elsewhere over the new Criminal Justice Act.: A letter from the Home Secretary informed the Q.S. Chairman that the Table of Fees sent him was inadmissable. A payment of 14/- to the Clerk to the Justices was reasonable but 10/- to the C.P. was excessive. 4/- was deemed sufficient. The scale proposed for witnesses and prosecutors was also not satisfactory. Allowances......should be uniform, whatever their station in life and the principle of allowances for fractional parts of days should be adopted. A suggested scale was enclosed.
DescriptionThere was also correspondence from the C.P. and Q.S. Chairman with the Treasury and others about the payment of constables' expenses in the apprehension of prisoners. These expenses had been disallowed to the prosecutor by the Clerk of Assize. "The Rural Police Acts are not in force in this county and unless the constables get paid these expenses so disallowed them at our Assizes, they will naturally be indisposed for the future to apprehend offenders." (C.P. to the Treasury Commissioners). Correspondence with Mr. Acton Tindall. Schedules from other counties Northumberland, Cambs, Yorks, (West Riding), Warwickshire
