WHEREAS by an Act made in the Parliament of Ireland in the fifth year of his present Majesty’s reign for erecting and establishing public infirmaries or hospitals in Ireland, it is enacted that the surgeons to be chosen or appointed for the respective county infirmaries or hospitals should be paid by the year a sum not exceeding one hundred pounds to be paid out of the public money in manner as in the said recited Act is mentioned: And whereas the said sum, from the great increase in the price of the necessaries of life, and other circumstances, is inadequate to the fair remuneration of the services of such surgeon; and in consequence thereof it has been found impossible in some counties to procure persons properly qualified according to law to accept such situations: Be it therefore enacted by the King’s most excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the lords spiritual and temporal, and commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, that from and after the passing of this Act it shall and may be lawful for the grand jury of the several counties in the said recited Act mentioned and of all other counties and counties of cities and counties of towns in Ireland, either at the spring or summer assizes to be holden in and for any such county, county of a city, or county of a town in Ireland in each year, to present any sum not exceeding one hundred pounds, to be raised in the county at large, or in the county of a city or county of a town, and to be paid to the surgeon of the infirmary or hospital in such county, county of a city, or county of a town; and which sum shall be in addition to the salary which any such surgeon is entitled to receive under or by virtue of the before recited Act of the fifth year of his present Majesty’s reign or of any other Act or Acts in force in Ireland relating to such infirmaries or hospitals.
