Exchequer Extra Receipts Act, 1868

Payment of casual receipts to the Exchequer.

1. Notwithstanding any Act of Parliament now in force, or Order in Council, or ancient usage, it shall be lawful for the Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury to direct that any such fees or other casual receipts, or any part of them, shall be paid over to Her Majesty's Exchequer, to the credit of the Consolidated Fund, in such manner as such Commissioners shall from time to time determine, instead of being applied to the purposes aforesaid, in any case where provision shall have been made by Parliament or otherwise to meet the charges to which any such fees or casual receipts would have been applicable if this Act had not passed.
