5. Besides a pension or superannuation allowance, a free passage home or a bonus equal to 3 months' pay is given as a matter of right to all Inspectors, Sergeants or Constables after each period of five years' service. If they re-enlist, they receive the bonus; if they do not re-enlist, a passage may either be provided to the place where they were engaged or the 3 months' pay may be given instead as a bonus.
The following amounts have been paid during the period before referred to for bonus and gratuities. The latter term is applied to payments made under special circumstances to persons who retired before they were qualified for pensions. It is difficult to separate these two items, but the gratuities do not amount to much :-
