Head 3.-State the description of allowance for which the applicant is recommended, viz., super- annuation, compensation, compassionate allowance, or gratuity, and its amount. In the case of persons claiming an addition to their pensions in respect of professional or other special qualifications, this should be stated, and a reference should be given to the authority undor which the claim is made.
Head 5.-If the service has been interrupted by one or more breaks, the word "broken" should be added before or after the number of years and months, and the causes, dates, and circumstances of the break or breaks should be stated under heading 9.
Head 6.—If the person retiring has been in receipt of the same salary, or in the class from which he retires, for the 36 months immediately before the date of his retirement, the actual annual rate of salary or wages at that date should be inserted, preceded by the word "actual." In other cases the average annual amount of salary or wages for the 36 months next preceding the date of retirement should be inserted, preceded by the word "average"; but if the whole
period of service is less than three years, then the average for the whole period of service should be inserted.
Head 7.-A separate statement should be inserted
of the average annual value, for the 36 months im- mediately preceding retirement, of each emolument
(exclusive of salary or wages) which is claimed to be included in the calculation of the pension or gratuity.
Whenever the value of a house or house allowance, so ascertained, exceeds one-sixth of the salary and other emoluments which count for pension purposes,
it is to be reduced to one-sixth of that amount, so that it shall not exceed one-seventh of the whole.
Fees which an officer is allowed to retain for his own use will be taken into accoput for pension pur-
poses, with regular salary, at the annual average of the net receipts of the 36 months next preceding the
officer's retirement. These net receipts are to be ascertained by deducting from the gross amount of fees such office expenses, etc., as an officer may have had to defray from his own resources, in performing the services for which he was remunerated by fees. No deduction, however, from the fees should be made in respect of office expenses provided from public funds, for the due discharge of those duties to which a fixed salary is annexed. Papers of "particulars when forwarded to the Colonial Department, should be accompanied by formal declarations from the retiring officers, showing the amount received by them for fees, and the amount defrayed as above for office expenses, etc., in each of the three years immediately preceding the retirement. It will be the duty of the Colonial Governments concerned to satisfy themselves.

of the accuracy of such statements before forwarding them to the Colonial Office. In the case of Officers receiving fixed salaries and fees, the fees will not in ordinary circumstances be allowed to count for pension purposes to the extent of more than one quarter of the salaries; and fees will not in any case be allowed to count for pension purposes during any period in which the whole time of the officer receiving them was not given to the public service.
Head 8.-In cases of infirmity, if the applicant is below the ordinary age for retirement, a medical certificate is to be furnished showing that he is dis- qualified by infirmity of mind or body for discharging the duties of his situation, and that such infirmity is likely to be permanent.
In case of ten years' service or more, this certificate- should be signed by two Officers, of whom at least one should, if possible, ba a salaried Officer of the Government.
Head 9.-As to "broken" service, ses Head 3,

99. In case of Public Officers receiving salaries not exceeding 1201. per annum, the Governor, subject to revision by the Home Government, may decide on the amount of retiring allowance to be granted, in accordance with the general rules relating to pensions.*
