There were several other offices 

 enumerated in the table annexed 



to the bill of 1813, in the Cus- 

 toms and Excise depaitn)ents of 

 the revenue, the duties of which 

 were not performed in person. 



Your committee have learnt with 

 satisfaction, that to any of these 

 offices which have become vacant 

 since the passing of that bill by 

 the House, no appointment has 

 been made by the Irish govern- 

 ment ; and that the salaries at- 

 tached to them have been saved, 

 by removing the individuals hold- 

 ing them to other effective offices. 



They therefore have only to ex- 

 press their opinion that such of 

 the offices enumerated in the table 

 as yet remain, should be abolished 

 as opportunities occur, and to re- 

 conmiend generally that the duties 

 of all offices, of whatever descrip- 

 tion, connected with the collec- 

 tion and receipt of the public re- 

 venue, should be performed in 

 person, by those who hold them, 

 at reasonable rates of salary.

 your committee not to belong to 

 the judges of that court, but to be 

 in the giftof tiie crown, and it ap- 

 pearing that the duties of them 

 are executed by deputy, there ap- 

 pears no reason for their Ijeing 

 continued, except upon such an 

 establishment as may afford an 

 adequate remuneration to tlie pro- 

 per officers hereafter appointed to 

 discharge the duties in person.
