I most rerne ot fully beg to lay the following
faots for your favourable consideration.
On 17th. February, 1892, I was enlisted as
a Private in the lete Hongkong Regiment, and remained there
till the 30th. November, 1902, when the regiment was disband-
ed, having served nearly 11 years in that regiment.
The Regulations then in force in the Hongkong
Regiment entitled one for pension after 15 years' cervico
or in the event of one's leaving after completing 10 years 1
service & good gratuity at the rate of Rs. 285 per $100 was
granted. I did not receive any gratuity as I continued In
the service. The officer Commanding the Hongkong Regiment
issued a notice when the Regiment was being disbanded to
the effect that any one joining the Military or Civil Service
would be entitled to oount his Hongkong Regiment service for
the purpose of pension. Taking my Military Service into
account I have now completed 21 years' service, but being
handoarped with my age of 45 yearn to carry out my police
duties in the proper way, I most respectfully request that
you will be pleased to recommend mo for a pension, for which
act of generosity I shall over feel grateful.
I have &c.,
(sa.) P.C. 86 Shah Wali Khan.
Mr. Mol. Meseer,
Captain superintendent of Police,
Hongkong.
