12. It shall, however, be in the discretion of the Governor in Council to grant a special rate of pension to any Subordinate Officer or Constable of the Police Force who may be compelled to quit the blic Service by reason of severe bodily injury, occasioned without his own fault, in the discharge of his public duty.
In every such case the amount of pension shall be made to vary partly in proportion to the number of years served by the injured man, and partly in proportion to the severity of the injury. The portion of the pension earned by length of service shall be calculated at the rate of 1/60th of the salary and emoluments of the sufferer at the time when the injury or accident occurred, for each year of service completed by him at the time he retires, whether the number of years served be more or less than 10, but no number of years service shall be allowed to give a claim to pension of more than 40/60TMa in respect of service only; and in every such case a Medical Certificate shall be furnished stating:
(a.) Whether the capacity of the sufferer to contribute towards his own support is slightly
impaired, impaired, materially impaired, or totally destroyed, and
(b.) Whether such incapacity is likely to be permanent.
(c.) Whether the retirement is to be attributed solely and immediately to the injuries received. An addition to the pension of the sufferer, on account of the injury may then be made on the following scale:
(a.) When the capacity is certified to be slightly impaired not exceeding 6/60 of the pay
and emoluments,
(b.) When impaired not exceeding 12/60th
(e) When materially impaired not exceeding 18/60
(d.) When totally destroyed not exceeding 24/60s
But in no case, however, shall the total amount of the pension exceed the full amount of the pay
and emoluments of the sufferer at the time when the injury occurred.
13. Sections 7 and 8 of these Regulations do not apply to Subordinate Officer or Constable of the Police Force who joined previous to the 12th March, 1870.
