Section 19 is that portion of the old section 13 which applied to Court of Survey, with the addition of several clauses borrowed from the English Act of 1894, e.g. subsection (4), part of subsection (5), and subsections (6) to (13) inclusive. The fee for official members of the Court has been raised from $5 to $10 a day, as the former rate of remuneration is considered wholly inadequate. It may be mentioned that the normal remuneration for special jurors in the Colony is $10 per day.

Section 20 corresponds with that portion of the old section 13 which applied to Courts of Survey.

Section 21 is new, and has been rendered necessary by the recent extension of the boundaries of the Colony.

Section 22 is the old section 24 with slight amendments and additions in subsections (1), (3), (4), (5), and (6). The clause at the end of subsection (3) and the proviso at the end of subsection (6) are entirely new.
