Abstract
In 1997 I endeavoured to draw attention to the importance of the magistracy and to place on the new Government's agenda some causes of concern about m agistrates.' In this paper, I wish to expand on particular problems in rela tion to magistrates' clerks: their growing judicial powers and their roles in the dispensation a criminal legal aid and in fine enforcement.
