19 & 20 Vict. c. 92.

18. There shall be paid to Judges appointed after the commencement of this Act the following salaries, which shall in each case include any pension to which the Judge may be entitled in respect of any public office previously filled by him:

To the Lord Chief Justice five thousand pounds a year    .   .   .    and the Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer four thousand six hundred pounds a year.

To the Master of the Rolls the salary herein-before directed to be paid to the existing Master of the Rolls.

To each ordinary Judge of the Court of Appeal such salary as, in pursuance of the Chancery Appeal Court (Ireland) Act, 1856, might have been assigned for him if he had been appointed under the said Act.

To each of the other Judges of the High Court of Justice the sum of three thousand five hundred pounds a year.

The Chiefs of the Divisions termed in this Act the Queen's Bench    .   .   .    and Exchequer Divisions, whether appointed before or after the commencement of this Act, and the other Judges of the same Divisions who were appointed before the commencement of this Act, shall not be entitled to any allowance in addition to their salaries in respect of circuit. Every other Judge of the High Court of Justice, or of the Court of Appeal, whether appointed before or after the commencement of this Act, who shall actually go circuit as a Judge, shall be entitled to receive in respect of such circuit one hundred and fifty pounds.   .   .   .   

Any Judge, whether appointed before or after the passing of this Act, who shall be sent as Judge for a winter assizes or special commission, shall be entitled to receive in respect thereof such additional payment, not exceeding the amount allowed for a circuit, as the Lord Lieutenant shall determine; but no Judge shall receive any additional or extra payment in respect of an adjourned assizes: Provided always, that nothing herein contained shall affect such rights to remuneration in respect of any special commission or adjourned assizes as the existing Lord Chief Baron possessed before the passing of this Act.

No salary shall be payable to any additional Judge of the Court of Appeal; but nothing in this Act shall in any way prejudice the right of any such additional Judge to any pension to which he may be by law entitled.
