Of fixed at a lower rate in consideration of the exceptional

privilege of free quarters, who according to paragraph 2 (A)

of your Despatch to Sir F. Swettenham, copy of which was en-

closed in your Despatch No. 5 of the 3rd January last will

be allowed to reckon the value of their quarters for pension,

said that the salaries of any of the higher Officers of the

Prison, Hospitals, or Police have been fixed at a lower rate

that no officers will be allowed to reckon the value of their

quarters for pension.

Regarding the claims of Officers who enjoy

free quarters and who were appointed prior to the date of your

Civil Medical Officer and Dr. J. Bell, Assistant Surgeon, who

enjoy free quarters, and Dr. J. C. Thomson who enjoys a house

allowance, receive such substantial increases under the
