No pension granted under this Minute shall be assignable or transferable or liable to be attached, sequestered or levied upon for or in respect of any debt or claim whatsoever.
No. 20. 2/
If any person to whom a pension has been granted under this Minute is convicted before any Court in Her Majesty's dominions of any crime or offence for which he is sentenced to death or penal servitude or transportation or any term of imprisonment with hard labour or exceeding twelve months and does not within two months after such conviction receive Her Majesty's free pardon; or if any such person becomes a bankrupt, then in every such case such pension shall forthwith cease: provided always that in any case where a pension ceases by reason of the bankruptcy of the pensioner, it shall be lawful for the Secretary of State for the Colonies, or if such pensioner is resident in the Colony, then for the Governor in Council, from time to time during the remainder of such pensioner's life, or during such shorter period or periods, either continuous or discontinuous, as such Secretary of State or Governor in Council shall think fit, to pay all or any part of the moneys to which such pensioner would have been entitled by way of pension had he not become a bankrupt, to or apply the same for the maintenance and personal support or benefit of all or any, exclusive of the other or others, of the following persons, namely, such pensioner and any wife, child or children of his, in such proportions and manner as such Secretary of State or Governor in Council from time to time thinks proper.
THE SCHEDULE.
Rule 3, section 2.
The number of years to be added to the period of service in cases coming under this Rule for the purpose of computing pensions is as follows:---
For the 1st Class 5 years.
Enclosure 2.
Minute by the Colonial Secretary.
C.O. 14233
Rec. AUC 93!
A further alteration is, I think, inferentially necessitated, viz.: the deletion of the words in brackets in clause 4, paragraph 2.
314
I am not clear why, in view of the addition made to clause 15, paragraph 1, a similar addition was not suggested to clause 15, paragraph 2. Possibly it was overlooked because Sir C. Smith's case raised a question about clause 15, paragraph 1 only; possibly it is considered unnecessary in view of the existing provision in paragraph 2 for adding to the Hong-Kong service of such officers as are there contemplated.
