(5) 10 years of pensionable administration with medical certificate, or
(6) 60 years of age and at least eight years of pensionable administration after attaining 40 years of age, with permanent civil service making at least 20 years altogether.
The Act of 1872 allows an addition to the reduced rate in certain cases.
In cases (3) and (6), if the permanent Civil Service be Colonial, the Imperial Treasury will decide what proportion of the pension for which the officer is qualified shall be paid from Imperial Funds "but no payment shall be made therefrom in respect of any employment in the permanent Civil Service of a Colony;" nor in any case will there be paid from Imperial Funds in respect of Governmental Service any larger pension than together with any pension for permanent Civil Service, Imperial or Colonial, will amount to more than £1,000 per annum or 3rds of the salary of the permanent office, whichever is greater.
When the Governmental Service is sufficient to establish a claim to pension from Imperial Funds for Governmental Service only such pension can be granted with the above-mentioned limitation independently of any pension from Colonial Funds for permanent Civil Service.
No Imperial pension granted as above is any longer Vict. c. 13, liable to be reduced by half the amount of any pension
for
permanent Civil Service although it remains liable to Act 28 & 29 reduction by half the amount of any Military or Naval
"half pay, salary, or other emolument."

In cases where a Colonial Governor, who has also been employed in the permanent Civil Service, has not become entitled to any of the above-mentioned pensions, Section

Section 12 of the Superannuation Act, 1859, in respect Act 22 Vict. of his Governmental Service of a pension of as many c. 26, Sec- sixtieths of the salary and emoluments of his lust office tion 12. in the permanent Civil Service as there have been years Act 50 & 51 of Governmental Service. Where Service has been rendered Vict. c. 13, in a country or place declared unhealthy under the Sections 4,
6, and 8. "Superannuation (Unhealthy Climates) Act, 1876, two years of such service is reckoned as service for three years, and Act 39 & 40 such service for any greater or-less period than two years in the like proportion.
Acting administration of a Government whilst holding another permanent office or during the temporary absence of the Governor does not count as pensionable administration,
Vict. c. 53.
Under the terms of the Acts a Governor is only entitled to count for pension the time spent in the actual administration of a Government; but under the powers given by Section 12 of the Act of 1865, it has been decided that time occupied on leave from Government or on voyage to assume Government is allowed to count as pensionable administration for a period not exceeding th of resident administration, or in the case of service in countries or places declared unhealthy under the Superannuation (Unhealthy Climates) Act, 1876, 4th of Act 39 & 40 resident administration.
