Special pensions to present holders of offices.
|
24. At any time, and notwithstanding the provisions of any other Act of Parliament regulating the grant of pensions or superannuation allowances, the Lord Lieutenant may, with the approval of the Treasury, grant to any Clerk of the Crown or Clerk of the Peace who shall be in office at the passing of this Act, and shall retire from his office, such annual sum by way of special pension as, having regard to length of service and the other circumstances of each case, he may think fit, not exceeding two thirds of the entire yearly salary fees and emoluments of the office of such person, calculated upon the average of the five years next preceding such retirement, less by the amount of the annual sums (if any) paid by him to, and the emoluments (if any) received by, his deputy; and may also grant in like manner to any such deputy heretofore appointed such annual sum as, having regard to length of service and the other circumstances of each case, he may think fit, not exceeding two thirds of the entire yearly amount of the sums and emoluments (if any) so payable to or receivable by him, calculated upon the like average; and any sums granted in pursuance of this section shall be presented and paid in manner hereinbefore provided, and without any application to presentment sessions.
