35.-That, except as may be herein otherwise directed, the offices of this Court shall continue open for the despatch of business, and the officers and clerks belonging thereto shall attend in such offices in the discharge of their business, during such times and for such number of hours in each day as they have hitherto done under any existing Order or practice of the said Court.

36.-That the office of the Clerk of the Affidavits, and of the Patentee of the Subpoena Office, be open from the hour of ten in the forenoon until four in the afternoon, and during the sitting of either of the Courts, from the hour of seven to eight in the evening, except that from the 1st of September to the 20th October those offices shall be open only from eleven to one o'clock.

LORD BROUGHAM's Order of 21st December, 1833, for regulating the FEES to be received by the Gentlemen of the Chamber upon any Fiat for a MASTER IN CHANCERY EXTRAORDINARY.

WHEREAS by an Order bearing even date herewith, made by the Lord High Chancellor, by and with the concurrence of the Master of the Rolls and the Vice Chancellor, it is ordered that the Masters Extraordinary of the Court of Chancery may administer oaths in any place distant not less than ten miles from the Hall in Lincoln's Inn. And whereas the effect of such Order may be to increase the number of Masters Extraordinary in Chancery, by extending the privilege to solicitors and attornies residing within twenty miles of London, of administering oaths, and will thereby add to the present and future emoluments of the Gentlemen of the Chamber, and other persons attendant upon the Lord Chancellor. Now for the prevention of such increase, and to add to the fee fund provided to be created by the act of the 3d and 4th of the present King, intituled, An Act for the Regulation of the Proceedings and Practice of certain Offices of the High Court of Chancery in England," I DO HEREBY ORDER, that all fees which may become payable to the Gentlemen of the Chamber for their own use, or for the use of any other person or persons upon any fiat for a Master in Chancery Extraordinary resident within twenty miles of Lincoln's Inn Hall aforesaid, shall be received by the Gentleinen of the Chamber as heretofore, and shall be paid by them once every six months into the Bank of England, to the credit of the Accountant General of the Court of Chancery, to be placed by him to the account intituled "The Suitor's Fee Fund Account," the amount of such several payments to be verified by the affidavit of the party making such payments.
