§ 94. Appointment of clerical and other assistants of appellate
division in first department. The justices of the appellate division of
the supreme court in the first judicial department, or a majority of
them, are authorized to appoint and at pleasure remove a clerk, deputy

reimburse the state for such salaries and expenses. The time and method
of such reimbursement shall be as specified in section seventy-four of
this chapter. Provided, however, that the present deputy clerk,
assistant clerks, confidential clerk, typewriter operators, crier and
assistant to the crier of said appellate division shall be continued in
