Suspension from office.
|
3. In case any charge of neglect incompetence or misconduct is made against any petty sessions clerk in Ireland, it shall be lawful for the Lord Lieutenant, if he shall think fit, to make an order suspending such petty sessions clerk from his office; or for the justices of any district, if they shall think fit, for which such petty sessions clerk acts to make an order in petty sessions suspending such clerk from his office in such district. Every such order shall continue in force until such charge shall be disposed of. Whenever any such clerk has been so suspended from his office the justices at petty sessions may appoint some other person to act as clerk at such petty sessions for the time being. When the justices at petty sessions appoint any person to act as clerk for the time being under the authority of the eighth section of the principal Act, or under the authority of this section, the person so appointed shall, if required by the justices or by the registrar, before entering upon his duties as such clerk, enter into security for the due discharge of his duties in the manner prescribed by the eleventh section of the principal Act.
