as compared with officers in other departments of the same service, his pension to be Calculated on his bare pay, and any Extra pension allowances he may have been in receipt of, are not taken into the account.
15. In conclusion Your Petitioners point out that out of the eleven Inspectors now doing regular Police duties, five will in the spring of 1882, complete their full period of service entitling them to retire on pension, that a great saving would accrue to the Treasury, by the retention in the Service worn at increased rates of pay and allowances of the Officers now qualified for pension and retirement.
16. Your Petitioners therefore humbly pray your Excellency to take this their petition into Your favourable consideration and to grant them in their respective Classes such an increase of pay as will adequately remunerate them for their Increased duties and responsibilities, and as will be sufficient to attract and retain in the Service really capable and trustworthy men and Your Petitioners as in duty bound will ever pray.
