I certify that the Pension, which we paid to the Applicant according to the Rules of the Colonial Service, amounts to $4,860.00 and I base my Certificate on the following calculation :--
Length of Service : 22 years
Less 1 1/2 years of 1/2 pay : 1 1/2 years
Add 2/3 of 23 years : 15.33 years
Total : 27 years
The applicant is entitled to draw his pension at the rate of 27/60 of $1,080.00 = $4,860.00 or £486 (at 3/8 the dollar).
