The Treasury Lords to the Revenue Commissioners,
Ireland. We have considered the list of your
proposed reducements in the salaries of several
officers of the revenue. We approve of them all
except the last article for laying aside 11 of the
riding surveyors for the Country Excise. We
think these may be necessary to be continued
because we find in the accompts that the decrease
of the revenue is principally in that particular
branch. Put in for all the other your said proposed
abatements and reducements, amounting to
4,908l. 5s. 0d. per an. exclusive of the 660l. per an.
for the said 11 officers. The officers set aside in
accordance herewith are to be admitted to adequate
employments in the revenue as same shall become
void. |
