the post will be graded along with the other Deputy Registrar, the Assistant Crown Solicitors and Assistant Land Officer. For these posts we recommend a scale of £700 rising to £970 per annum by 2 increments of £30, 2 of £60 and 3 of £30. It will be noted that in the case of these legal officers we have placed the marriage increments at an earlier stage, namely after 2 years' service only, in view of the longer training re- quired for a legal officer and the consequent greater age on joining the service.
103. The post of European Interpreter is at present vacant.
We feel therefore that no useful purpose would be served at this stage by suggesting a scale of salary for the post, as the salary to be offered must depend largely on the qualifications and standing of an applicant.

17. ATTORNEY GENERAL.
106. For the Attorney General we recommend a salary of £2,100 per annum, The Assistant to the Attorney General is, normally, a Cadet Officer possessing legal attainments and it is unnecessary therefore to suggest a separate scale for this post; if a temporary appointment is made from outside the service the salary must necessarily depend on a special arrangement made in each case.

108. We consider the Official Receiver and Registrar of Trade Marks is at present inadequately paid in view of the importance and multiplicity of the duties he has to perform.
