With reference to your letter No. 83, last signed by the Police, contemplates the possibility of readiness for item of gear after a long time. It is simpler to say merely that Policemen should have pensions on exactly the same terms as other members of the Service, except that instead of 55 years of age as the age for retirement, they may retire at the age of 45 or 50 - whichever is adopted.
The age of 45 was fixed in the Agreements of the Straits Police lately sent out. A draft on this subject is still in circulation. I now submit a draft to Governor on this paper. G.W.J. 3 Dec. 84
Dated, the 11th July last, I have the honour to inform you that the six Constables required for service in Hong Kong have been obtained from the Glasgow Force, and arrangements have been made for their passages to the Colony on the S.S. "Bellerophon" sailing 18th inst. from Liverpool.
I have the honour to be, Sir, Your Obedient Servant
Under Secretary of State
Colonial Office.
