64. An officer acquitted of a criminal charge shall not be dismissed on any charge upon which he has been acquitted, but nothing in this Regulation shall prevent his being dismissed or otherwise punished on any other charges arising out of his conduct in the matter, provided that they do not raise substantially the same issues as those on which he has been acquitted; and if the Governor thinks sit the usual proceedings may be taken for the

purpose.

66. An officer who is under interdiction or suspension may not, without the permission of the Governor, leave the Territory during the interval before he is reinstated or dismissed.

67. Notwithstanding the above provisions, if the Governor considers that an officer holding an office appointment to which is subject to the approval of the Secretary of State, or who, though not holding such an office, was selected for appointment by the Secretary of State, should be required to retire from the Service on grounds which cannot suitably be dealt with by specific charges under the foregoing Regulations, he shall submit a full report upon the case to the Secretary of State, forwarding statements from the heads of the departments in which the officer has served and the officer's reply to the complaints by reason of which his retirement is contemplated; and if the Secretary of State is satisfied having regard to the conditions of the Service, the usefulness of the officer thereto and all other circumstances of the case, that the officer's retirement is desirable in the public interest, the Secretary of State may require him to retire, and his service shall necordingly terminate on such date as the Secretary of State shall specify. In every such case the question of pension will be dealt with under the lawa or regulations of the Territory,
