M. Fairfield

An European member of the Hong Kong police, who comes on leave enters into a bond "for the refund of the half pay or the difference between his pension may be drawn in case he does not return at the expiry of his leave to the colony. - the period specified": This has been enforced in cases of voluntary retirement. See e.g. the case of Constable McMillan [13519/91, 12199/91].

In the present case is one of a man whose retirement is enforced on grounds of ill-health. I think it was equitably dealt with in allowing the man to have his half pay drawn out prior to going on pension, and I think that clearly the liability to refund half pay is not intended for a case of this kind. The Crown Agents asked what should be done in this case.

I refer the matter to you C.PL. Japes.

The Gov. advised he informed Juffense.
