MEMORANDUM.

(a) Under No. 1 (b) of the Rules of September, 1887, made by the Treasury under the Superannuation Act, 1887.

By No. 4 of those rules, if any officer who is on the half-pay or retired list, or who has commuted his non- effective pay, or retired from the Imperial forces with a gratuity, accepts any civil employment of profit under any public department and the annual amount of his non- effective pay, &c., and the profits of such civil employment together exceed £400 per annum, the profits of his civil employment shall be subject to abatement of not less than 10 per cent. thereof, as may be determined by the Treasury in concert with the department employing the officer; provided that no abatement shall be made which exceeds the amount of the officer's non-effective pay or reduces his total emoluments to less than £400 per annum.

(6

The above expression "civil employment of profit under any public department" is defined by Rule 1 (6) 18 any employment the profits of which are derived from any

(6) Under Section 4 of the Superannuation Act, 1892 (55 and 56 Vict., Ch. 40).

This Act empowered the Treasury to frame rules for regulating pensions for persons who have served con- tinuously and successively in two or more public offices and for granting the same pension to any person as might have been granted to him if his whole service had been in the public office from which he ultimately retires.

An Officer therefore who has been transferred from the Imperial Service to that of a Colony or Protectorate whose revenues have been declared to be "public funds" within the meaning of the above section enjoys continuity of service for pension purposes under the rules.
