GILDED CLERK.
EARNED E141,150 IN A YEAR.
"It was disclosed during the hearing of an appeal in the House of Lords that in one year a Lendon underwriting clerk earned over 141,000 in salary and com-
mission.
The appellante, firm of insurance brokers and underwriting agents, unsuc cessfully sought their lordship's ruling that the whole of the reiteration by them to an authorized underwriting paid clerk who represented them at Lloyd's for the
purpose of accepting marine risks eculd be deducted sis arriving at their assessable profits for excess profita duty.
The Inland Revenue Commissioners con- tended that the clerk was concerned in the management of the business, and their lordships upheld that view.
The clerk received a salary of £1,500, with a quarter of the commission earned by the firm up to £5,000, and a half of the balance. Under this arrangement he receivel £4,711 in 1913, 10,233, in 1914, $10,210 i 1015. 220,435 in 1010, £103,719; in 1917, and £141,150 in 1818.
