2.

3.

4. Every Officer otherwise qualified for a pension who is constrained from infirmity of mind or body to leave the public service before the completion of ten years' service may be awarded a gratuity at the rate of half a month's salary for each complete six months of service.

5. An Officer who has been transferred to or from the service of the Crown in this Colony from or to the service of the Crown elsewhere will not be awarded a pension or gratuity under this clause, but his case will be dealt with under clause 15 of this Minute, provided always that the case of any such Officer who, having been so transferred to the service of the Colony, has served in the Colony for a period of ten years and upwards immediately prior to his ultimate retirement from the service of the Crown, may be dealt with under this clause instead of under clause 15.

6.
