A member of the Civil Service would become entitled to full pay for twenty-eight months and leave on half pay for twenty-eight months after a total of four years and eight months, all allowed to count for purposes of pension.

The duties are principally performed during the night, exposed to all weathers when the deteriorating effects of this climate is felt on the physique, rendering absolutely necessary a change of climate and rest, after each term of service.

(a) Your petitioners do not ever-

(b) That subordinate officers of the Police Service cannot retire before they become fifty-five years of age, and that they are not entitled to the same privileges as regards passage as members of the Police Force. On the other hand, they would respectfully point out that while the duties of the former are performed principally in offices during the day time, the duties of the Police are principally performed at night.

(c) That it is really very necessary for the good of the service that men should have a change, and that as in the case of the Naval and Civil Services, time spent on leave counts as service, you would be pleased to recommend to the Right Honorable the Governor.
