Assuming solely that the injuries are to be important and have contributed to his ill health the case facts and circumstances of the 13th Regt do not necessarily justify grant of the full addition to pension allowed in accordance with the 13th Regs, since the words "not exceeding" inserted in that Reg "were" (in accordance with 410 despatch no. 31 of 10th March) to make the amount of the pension depend on the officer's remuneration at the time he was injured, not on that received at the time of his retirement. On this last point, I have no information; but 321 (G.O. of 1888) expressly gives some latitude in dealing with cases (like the present) where the injuries were not of very recent date.

But apart from the above points, the provisions of the 13th Reg" do not give the five years climate bonus in addition to the injuries bonus, and as at present advised I do not think that if a pension of £422 27s be awarded (being an average of his salary at the time of his retirement) he will have been treated with reasonable liberality, as £572 per annum is a large sum, I am informed.
