1. Any European Member of the Police Force may, after each period of five years' service, on claiming his returu passage, under 16 of Ordinance 14 of 1887, apply through the Captain Superin- rendent of Police to His Excellency the Governor for permission to return to the service within a period not exceeding nine months.
2. Should this application be approved, the Applicant will receive half pay, during his absence, and a certificate entitling him to a return passage to the Colony within the period specified; subject to his passing a satisfactory Medical Examination about three months before the expiration of his leave as to his fitness to return to a tropical climate.
3. The Applicant shall enter into a bond for the refund of the half pay, or the difference between his pension and half pay as the case may be, drawn after his leaving the Colony, in case he does not return at the period specified.
4. This period may nevertheless be extended by the Secretary of State for the Colonies, on such ground as may to him be satisfactory, and such extension shall be deemed to be leave originally granted within the meaning of the above Sections I, II, and III, anything therein contained to the contrary notwithstanding,
5. Such leave shall enable the Applicant to count his previous service as regards the time of service required before a pension is granted, and each period of two months on leave shall count as one month's service towards the computation of a pension.
6. On the Applicant's return to the Colony, he shall be reinstated in his relative position in the Force, and he will be sworn in for a further period of five years' service under §§ 8 and 13 of Ordinance
14 of 1887.
7. If at the expiration of five years' service leave is refused on the ground that the Applicant's service cannot then be spared, he shall be allowed leave at the earliest suitable date, and the time elapsing between the expiration of the above mentioned five years' service and the date of his going on leave, shall be calculated towards the period of five years' service to be served by him on his return from such kave. If the time of year at which a period of five years' service expires is on consideration of health unsuitable for leave to be taken, the Applicant may, by permission, go on leave at any time within six months from such expiration of service, and this interval shall count towards his next period of five years' service.
S. The period of time spent on leave will not count towards the calculation of time constituting any term of five years' service for bonus or passage.
