Ordinance 8 of 1869 repealed 9 of 1868, which had repealed Sect XI and dx #1 of 1862 and in repealed Sect. X and XII.
In lieu of the provisions of Sect II above mentioned, Sect III of Ordinance 8 of 1869 enacted that at the termination of each period of five years every Inspector, Sergeant or Constable of Police should be entitled to a free passage from Hongkong to the Port nearest to the place at which he may have been engaged for Service in the Force, or in lieu thereof, or in case he shall have been engaged in Hongkong, he should be entitled to a bonus, but it was provided that no right to such passage or bonus should accrue unless three months previous notice of intention to leave the Force at the end of such service of 5 years had been given to the Captain Superintendent of Police, or unless the Inspector or Sergeant or Constable should engage for further service of 5 years.
Placing the most liberal construction on Article 12 of Ordinance 6 of 1862, it was of opinion that no Inspector or Constable can claim bonus for any period exceeding 10 years; liberally construed would give him a second bonus or passage money at the end of 10 years, but nothing except the pension for any longer service.
