Prison (Officers Superannuation) Act, 1878

Provision as to local authorities contributing to annuity.

4. Where two or more local authorities are liable to pay shares of the same annuity to an officer of a prison, each of those authorities shall be deemed to be a local authority for the purposes of this Act; but any such local authority shall not be entitled to require the Treasury to accept commutation of the share of an annuity if the Treasury have already commuted the share of that annuity payable by the Treasury.

The said local authorities may agree together for the commutation of the share of any such annuity which is payable by either of them, and the provisions of this Act shall apply accordingly.
