(1)As from the appointed day, the Keeper of the Advocates' Library shall become the first librarian of the Library, and such of the assistants in the employment of the Faculty in connection with the Advocates' Library as the said Keeper, with the consent of the Treasury, may determine, not being persons to be retained in the employment of the Faculty in connection with their Law Library, shall become officers of the Board, and the said librarian and officers shall be deemed to be permanent civil servants of the State and shall be paid such salaries or remuneration as the Treasury approve :

(2)A person transferred to the service of the Board under this section shall vacate his office not later than the end of the completed year of service in the course of which he attains the age of seventy years:

(3)The provisions of the Superannuation Acts, 1834 to 1919, shall apply to persons so transferred as if they had entered the Civil Service with a certificate from the Civil Service Commissioners after the passing of the Superannuation Act, 1909:

Provided that the service of a person so transferred shall be reckoned for the purpose of computing any superannuation allowance, additional allowance, or gratuity, in accordance with the said Acts from the commencement of his employment by the Faculty, or from his eighteenth birthday, whichever is the later:

(4)Notwithstanding anything contained in the immediately preceding subsection, the annual superannuation allowance to be granted to the first Librarian shall, if he continues to serve until he attains the age of seventy years, be of the amount of £600, or if he retires before attaining the said age, be of such lesser amount as the Treasury may determine to be a reason able proportion of the said amount of £600.
