APPENDIX V.

CIRCUIT COURT—INCIDENTAL EXPENSES.

The details of the estimated expenditure were as follows:—

Execution of Court Orders (Miscellaneous Expenses)								..	..	£900
Advertising		..	..	..	..	..	..	..	..	300
Printing	..	..	..	..	..	..	..	..	..	100
Postage	..	..	..	..	..	..	..	..	..	70
Carriage on Parcels			..	..	..	..	..	..	..	20
Miscellaneous		..	..	..	..	..	..	..	..	20
Total							..	..	..	£1,410

These estimates were close approximations to the actual expenditure except as regards the first item: in that case, only £442 was expended out of the £900 voted.

This item is intended to cover certain classes of expenditure which occur occasionally, outside the usual routine, in the course of the execution of Court Orders and Land Commission Warrants, principally the employment of temporary additional assistants and the hire of lorries. In the year under review it was anticipated that there would be a substantial increase, as compared with recent years, but in fact that did not occur.

These miscellaneous expenses are only a small fraction of the total expenses of executing Orders and Warrants. The bulk of the expenditure is in the shape of salaries of Clerks and ordinary Court Messengers and is covered by Subhead A. Specific expenses, such as the hire of lorries, are recovered specifically from the defaulters and the general expenses are about covered by the fees charged, so that there is little or no net charge on the Vote. It will be observed (Appropriations-in-Aid—Subhead E.—Notes) that in the year under review fees amounting to something over £16,000 were collected.
