The claim of a Public Servant to Pension will be considered to have commenced from the date of his first permanent appointment to the Fixed Establishment of this Colony; Service on the Temporary Establishment of this Colony will however be allowed to count for Pension when such Service shall have been continuous with a subsequent permanent appointment. In the case of Public Officers appointed from Home (except Cadets) their Services will be reckoned from the date of the Secretary of States' Despatch notifying the appointment to the Governor.
12. Cadets appointed in pursuance of the Regulations published in the Government Gazette of 12th October, 1861, will date the commencement of their Claims to Pension from the period at which the Board of Examiners may declare them qualified for Government Interpreters.

upon the average annual amount of Salary of the permanent Offices held by such Person for Three Years next preced- ing the commencement of such Pension.
15. In case of reduction or abolition of Office, Temporary Allowances may be assigned agreably to the specified rates; on condition however that the parties receiving the same will be liable to be re-called into the service, and, with the understanding that they are to be re-employed as opportunity may occur in preference to new applicants for Office.
16. The period of Service upon which the Superannuation Allowance of all Officers appointed to the Public Service, taking leave of absence in the regular manner with abate- ment of Salary will be calculated, will be at the rate of One Month for every Two Months of such leave.
17. If any person receiving a Pension under this Minute should accept any Public Office or situation under the Crown, his Pension shall remain in abeyance while he is in occupation of such Office or situation.
18. Should the time of Service not warrant the assignment of an annual Allowance, a gratuity may be granted after the rate of One Month's Salary for each Year of Service..
