Bubject to the necessities of the service, leave of absence on half salary may be granted after a period of six years' resident service without any special grounds. It may be given before the expiration of that period in case of serious indisposition, or of urgent private affairs. In the absence of special grounds, the leave in such case must not exceed one-sixth of the officer's resident service; on special grounds it may exceed that period by six months. In addition to the above, vacation leave on full pay may be granted, if no inconvenience or expense is caused thereby, not exceeding three monthst in any two years.
In the case of Hong Kong, leave of absence on half salary may be granted after 4 years' resident service, and some portion of this leave may, at the Governor's discretion, be commuted for half the amount with full salary.
On first appointment, an officer whose salary and fees together do not exceed £500 a year will be provided by the Crown Agents for the Colonies with free passages to the Colony for himself and his wife and children, if any, not exceeding four persons besides himself. The officer so appointed will be required to execute an agreement binding him to repay the cost of the passage or passages so obtained in the event of his leaving the Government service within three years.
An officer taking leave out of the Colony has to provide his own passages.
