Though the above offices are ecclesiastical, the emoluments are derived from fees in business in which every one is interested,—viz. on all testamentary proceedings, besides other ecclesiastical jurisdiction, and the amount of ditty is small. The above emoluments are taken from returns moved for by Mr. PROTHEttoE,relating to Ecclesiastical Courts.
Similar offices are held by the sons of the Speaker of the House of Commons in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury. By a strange omission, either of the printer or of the parties who ought to have made the return, the enormous amount of their fees is not given. The offices are held for several lives.
