Civil employment was provided he got leaving the Police, to count so gratuity Service in that force as pensionable under the ordinary pension minute, the & another 11th clause of that minute warrants such procedure. Though he did but little duty in his new appointment, Jam hidined to think he should have been treated for pension purposes. Under the 83 year average sell the 4½ months passed in that office only tells to a limited extent. He was then refaced vacation on half pay leave (see 6598), so that his retiring allowance dater in mediating from the cagivation of those 4½ months.

Calculated in that way the average for $1328. But it appears from the leave certificate that he drew his so-called Police Good conduct pay up to the date of his leaving the Colony; if this was done deliberately, with the decy of State approval it seems to me that it must be regarded as a sort of Personal Allowance attaching to any appointment he held, & that it would be admissible for pension. Also the leave has been deducted altogether under this Police regulations, but if he was on half pay, I do not see why he should not be treated under the ordinary rules.

His cedien absence in 1871 was, to the best of my recollection, entirely on duty that leave at all. If so beships he has 17 years for pensionable service, this claim may be not to $579, but to which I think he would accept subject to the condition of repaying his passage money - say in instalments spread over 3 or 4 years.

As regards the Police Good conduct allowance. M- Groy's appointment to be 1st class in the magistracy is given in 20620/86, which says nothing about the retention of this allowance. M-Groy's salary was promoted from 1200 dollars + good conduct allowance to 1920 dollars.
