Validation of schemes for the collection of poor rate.

9. All officers employed in pursuance of a scheme for the collection of the poor rate, purporting to have been framed by a county council under subsection (10) of section one hundred and fifteen of the principal Act, shall be deemed to be, and to have always been, poor rate collectors appointed by the county council within the meaning of that Act; and no act done in pursuance of the scheme shall be, or be deemed to have been, invalid by reason only that the amount of the remuneration of any existing officer was not fixed by the scheme as approved by the Local Government Board.
