Masters in Chancery.

The master’s salary, received quarterly from the Exchequer, is £87 : 6 per annum; and for robe-money, from the Hanaper-office, £6 : 8 : 10 per annum.

The master’s salary, received from the suitors’ fund, in the Accountant-General’s Office, half-yearly, is £600 per annum.

The clerks have no salaries; they are remunerated solely by fees, partly belonging officially to the chief clerk, and partly by a participation of the master’s fees, regulated by usage or particular agreement between him and his clerks; and varying in different offices.

asterisks Returns were made, to the House of Commons, of the emoluments of the other Masters in Chancery; but, as the sources whence they arise and their amount are similar to Master Stratford’s, we omit them, to save room.
