Payment by Parliament of pensions of clerks of the Crown and clerks of the peace.
40 & 41 Vict. c. 56. s. 24.
|
1. [Recital.] Whenever a special pension is granted under the twenty-fourth section of the County Officers and Courts (Ireland) Act, 1877, to a clerk of the Crown or clerk of the peace for any county or borough, on his retirement from office, and a temporary clerk of the Crown or temporary clerk of the peace is appointed to fill that office,—
|
|
| |
It shall be lawful for the Treasury to pay the special pension so granted, until such clerk of the Crown or clerk of the peace shall die, or until the offices of clerk of the Crown and clerk of the peace for that county or borough are united under the provisions of the same Act, whichever shall first happen.
|
|
| |
From and after the time when such offices are united, the Treasury shall cease to pay such pension, and such pension shall be thenceforth paid by the grand jury of the county; or, in the case of a borough, by the town council having the fiscal powers of a grand jury.
|
|
| |
Any special pension payable by a grand jury or town council under the said Act, or under this Act, shall be presented and paid to the officer to whom such pension is granted, at the same times and in the same manner as the salary of the office was presentable and payable at the time of the passing of the said County Officers and Courts (Ireland) Act, 1877; and in this enactment the term “salary” shall include any payments customarily made by a grand jury or town council to such officer, whether such payments were of a fixed amount and were described as a salary, or not.
