Mr Gerrard entered the Service on the 1st April 1860, on the 31st of March instant will complete 24 years of Service. The Salary of his permanent Office and personal allowance amount to $2,400 per annum, neither increased nor revived during the last three years - He will thus be entitled to a pension of $1,160 per annum, being 22/48 of his emoluments.
