Court of Session Act 1821

XXI Compensation to Preparers of Extracts.

And whereas by the aforesaid Act, passed in the Fiftieth Year of His said late Majesty's Reign, specific Compensations were provided for Seventeen Extractors whose Offices were abolished, including in that Number the Six Assistants of the Principal Clerks of Session being also Extractors, but a Deduction of Two hundred Pounds per Annum was made from the Amount of the Compensations ascertained to be due to each of the said Assistants, which Deduction was made in Consideration of their Appointment to be Preparers of Extracts with a Salary to each of Two hundred Pounds : And whereas it is just and equitable that when the said Salaries are withdrawn, the corresponding Deduction from the Compensation should cease to operate ; be it therefore enacted, That an Annuity of Two hundred Pounds Sterling shall, from and after the Twentieth Day of June in this present Year, be paid to each of the Six Persons now filling the joint Offices of Clerks Assistant and Preparer of Extracts, upon the Order of the Barons of Exchequer, in the same Manner and at the same Times with the specific Compensations allowed by the said Act.
