Saving as to Lord Chancellor.
|
82. This Act, except so far as herein is expressly directed, shall not affect the office of Lord Chancellor, nor the rank salary or pension attached to such office; and the officers in the Lunacy Department, and the officers personally attached to or connected with the Lord Chancellor, shall continue attached to him in the same manner as if this Act had not passed; and all duties which any officer of the Court of Chancery may now be required to perform in aid of any duty whatsoever of the Lord Chancellor may in like manner be required to be performed by such officer when transferred to the Court of Judicature, and by his successors. It shall be in the power of the Lord Chancellor, with the concurrence of the Treasury, to abolish or alter the duties and designation of any offices whether in the Lunacy Department or attached to himself, and to fix the salaries of such as shall be retained, but so that no existing officer holding office during good behaviour shall receive a less salary than heretofore, or hold office otherwise than he did before.
