old pension revives on his alternate retirement when the new pension is awarded.

A separate pension is based on

276

the length of his later service and his emoluments.

In this case, the man was reemployed at the same salary to which he had attained, but as he had not served 3 years when he first retired,

the average salary was less then than now; on the other hand, his free quarters then, which he has not since enjoyed, practically made his pensionable emoluments then greater than now.

The Treasurer (who now calculates pension) makes it from Dec - 1882 to Feb-1891, 8 years. Whereas it is only 8; and I am inclined to think that under Treasury practice he cannot have both his salary and pension.

It would now give him both his salary of $1200, or $500, in addition to his old pension of $200; or $600, or $560, for 20 years of his old allowances $120 or $600 altogether.

The Treasurer adds a yearly mode of treatment, much practically leaving out of consideration the fact that he had quarters free during his first employment.

It is a curious case, because on moderation, considering the first medical certificate in 127/40/79 not very strong, the doctor in 29/78/81 furnished a much more decided one; that the man has been able to serve again till the age of 62.
