Governor to dispense with the services of any such officer, or to reduce his salary in case of re-organi- sation or abolition of office; and no claim to any additional grant on account of such reduction or abolition shall in any case be recognised. Any such officer shall continue to be liable to suspension, dis- missal, or removal from office in the same manner as if this section did not exist.

30. Officers who have been paid from votes for services exclusive of establishments shall, when transferred to appointments on the establishment, be allowed to count for pension, half of such ser- vice as may have been continuous with their sub- sequent service on the establishment. Provided that the allowance of such service shall be limited to a maximum of five years to count for pension. Provided further that the service of overseers in the Public Works Department shall be deemed to be continuous if the breaks therein have been caused by no fault of their own. Provided also that head overseers of the Public Works Department, and Irrigation Officers, employed on, or previously to, October 19, 1886, shall be allowed to count the whole of such previous continuous service.

31. When a person employed in the public ser- vice of the Colony, whether serving in a pensionable or in a non-pensionable office, is injured,

(a.) in the actual discharge of his duty; (b) without his own default; and

(c.) by some injury specially attributable to

the nature of his duty;

it shall be competent for the Governor and the Executive Council, subject to the approval of the Secretary of State, to grant to him in respect of such injury an annual allowance not exceeding the under-mentioned portion of his salary and emo- luments at the date of the injury, viz. :—

When his capacity to contribute to his support is

Provided that no award shall, together with any retired allowance for which he would be qualified by length of service, exceed 50-60ths of his salary and emoluments at the date of the injury, and that the award shall be so much less than the amount grantable under the scale given above as the Governor and Executive Council shall think rea- sonable, in case-

(a.) The usual amount exceeds by not less than Rs. 1,000 a year the rate of retired allowance to which the length of the injured man's Borvion would entitle him; or

(b.) The injured man has continued to serve for not less than one year after the injury in rospect of which he retires; or

(c.) The injured man is 50 years of age or

upwards at the date of injury; or

(d.) The injury is not the sole cause of retire- ment, ..., the retirement is caused partly by age or infirmity.

In the case of a pensionable officer the above award shall be in addition to the pension or gratuity.

for which the injured man would be qualified by length of service, and in the case of an injured officer who is entitled to a gratuity only, he may, if he wish it, be awarded in lieu of such gratuity an annual allowance of so many 60ths as the years he has actually served, together with the number of 60ths that may be awarded as above on account of his injuries.

32. When an officer is killed while in the discharge

of his duty the Governor may at his discretion propose to the Legislative Council an award to the widow and children, which ordinarily may be on the following scale:-

Pension to widow not to exceed 10-60ths of the husband's salary and emoluments, or Rs. 100 a year, whichever is greater; and Gratuity to children not exceeding Rs. 10, mul- tiplied by the total number of their years, starting from their ages at the time of their father's death and ending with 15 years; the total gratuity not to be less than Rs. 100 or more than Rs. 500.

In the case of motherless children the award may

be of twice the usual rate.

If the service of the deceased at the date of the injury was less than five years, the award may be→ To the widow a gratuity not exceeding one half of the salary and emolumente of the deceased; and to each child a gratuity not exceeding 1-12th of the salary and emoluments of the deceased; but the total gratuity to widow and children shall not exceed one year's salary and emoluments of the deceased.

If the deceased does not leave a widow, and if his mother or other near relative was wholly dependent upon him for her support, the award which might have been made to a widow may be made to the mother or other such dependent relative.

38. No pension granted under this Minute shall be assignable or transferable or liable to be attached, sequestered, or levied upon for or in respect of any debt or claim whatsoever.

34. If any person to whom a pension has been granted under this Minute becomes a bankrupt, the pension shall forthwith cease; but it shall be lawful for the Secretary of State for the Colonies, or if such pensioner is resident in the Colony, then for the Governor in Council from time to time during the remainder of such pensioner's life, or during such shorter period or periods either continuous or discontinuous as such Secretary of State or Governor in Council shall think fit, to pay all or any part of the moneys to which such per- sioner would have been entitled by way of pension had he not become a bankrupt to or apply the same for the maintenance and personal support or benefit of all or any, exclusive of the other or others of the following persons, namely, such pensioner and any wife, child, or children of his in such proportions and manner as such Secretary of State or Governor in Council from time to time thinks proper.
