115 would have been used. In most (if not all) of the Ordinances which exist here, where money of my kind is to be paid into the Treasury, express directions to that effect (such as "to the use of Her Majesty") are to be found, and like provisions are to be found in all Imperial Acts of Parliament where the disposition of Public money is concerned.

Moreover, in putting any construction upon the terms of this Ordinance, it is important to bear in mind that it was passed with a suspending clause, and is therefore not likely to have received more attention in its details than would probably otherwise have been given to it. Under such circumstances, I cannot think that those who advise the Secretary of State in such matters would have allowed Regulation XI to pass as it stands, had the real intention been that the fees should form part of the salary of Emigration Officer, when the much more obvious reading of the clause is that they are to go into his pocket as remuneration for the extra work which may be imposed upon him by the Ordinances. The word "remuneration" has a definite technical meaning.
