I certify that the pension which may be paid to the Applicant according to the Rules of the Colonial Service, amounts to two hundred and twenty-seven dollars and fifty cents.
And I base my Certificate on the following calculation:---
John Cleaver entered the Service on the 19th March 1873. His service therefore extends over a period of 10 years.
His salary is $480, with an allowance of $180 for quarters, but in accordance with the Instructions on page 4, head 7, it is reduced to $130, or one-sixth of the Salary.
His salary has not been increased or revised during the last three years. He is thus entitled to an Annual Pension of $227.50, being two-thirds of his emoluments.
15th March 1883.
Frederick Stewart, Auditor General.
