Mr. Lucas

During the period from 8501 - the paper on which it was submitted - having been missing for 20 years, it has not been possible to deal with this; and now that 8501 has come back, it does not appear any easier. The details of the advances, if included in his salary for the purpose of computing his pension, are nil.

It is clear from the '95 paper that his good conduct allowance, which he was receiving, was pensionable and should have been included in his pay for pension purposes. As his Pension was ultimately computed in the same way as Mr. Flood's (see su1083* her 3 of deshon 26113), it was "14/15 of the amount to which he would have been entitled under the Police Regulations had he completed 15 years service", and it was not included.

But I refer to DAG(Y) 2 419 to the July sud with this letter. It was later on 12209/15809. See SASE 0.a.f of the 26.9.78 with the Chinese hotundle. See 11140/96 Fand fellay S. proced CTA 26 at once, S. т 15809.

I have the honour to be acknowledgement receipt of your letter no. 15-809/98 dated the 18th inst., stating that I am mistaken in supposing that under the rules of The Hong Kong Police Service the Award of Medal has a bearing on the grant of pension.

In reply, I beg most respectfully to state that early in the year 1896, The Right Honourable The Secretary of State for the Colonies was pleased to approve of a petition forwarded by some European Officers of the Hong Kong Police Force, praying that Allowances for good conduct and Medals would count towards their pension.
