Be it therefore enacted as follows: (1) Notwithstanding that the Superannuation Act 1947 does not apply to any Deputy Judge of the Court of Arbitration, the contributor shall, during the period hereinafter specified, continue to be a contributor to the Government Superannuation Fund under section 72 of that Act.
(2) The period referred to in the last preceding subsection means the period of 5 years ending on 18 May 1953 if the contributor continues for so long to hold office as a Deputy Judge or a Judge of the Court of Arbitration, and, in any other event, means the period for which he continues to hold office as afore- said.

(4) On the expiry of the said period of 5 years, if the contributor still holds office as a Deputy Judge or a Judge of the Court of Arbitration, his contributions to the Fund under section 72 of the Superannuation Act 1947 in respect of that period of 5 years shall be refunded to him without interest.
(5) On the retirement of the contributor from his office as a Deputy Judge or a Judge of the Court of Arbitration at any time after the expiry of the said period of 5 years, he shall be entitled, in addition to any retiring allowance in respect of that office, to an annual retiring allowance for the rest of his life computed as provided in section 72 of the Superannuation Act 1947 by reference to the period of his contributory service as a Magistrate before the date of his ap- pointment as Deputy Judge of the Court of Arbitration as if the salary received by him immediately before that appointment had been at the rate of 1,250 pounds a year, and as if that period of contributory service had immediately preceded the date of his actual retirement.
(6) For the purposes of subsections (7) and (8) of section 72 of the Superannuation Act 1947, the contributor shall be deemed to continue in office as a Magistrate so long as he continues in office as a Deputy Judge or a Judge of the Court of Arbitration.
