I most rerne ot fully beg to lay the following

faots for your favourable consideration.

On 17th. February, 1892, I was enlisted as

a Private in the lete Hongkong Regiment, and remained there

till the 30th. November, 1902, when the regiment was disband-

ed, having served nearly 11 years in that regiment.

The Regulations then in force in the Hongkong

Regiment entitled one for pension after 15 years' cervico

or in the event of one's leaving after completing 10 years 1

service & good gratuity at the rate of Rs. 285 per $100 was

granted. I did not receive any gratuity as I continued In

the service. The officer Commanding the Hongkong Regiment

issued a notice when the Regiment was being disbanded to

the effect that any one joining the Military or Civil Service

would be entitled to oount his Hongkong Regiment service for

the purpose of pension. Taking my Military Service into

account I have now completed 21 years' service, but being

handoarped with my age of 45 yearn to carry out my police

duties in the proper way, I most respectfully request that

you will be pleased to recommend mo for a pension, for which

act of generosity I shall over feel grateful.

I have &c.,

(sa.) P.C. 86 Shah Wali Khan.

Mr. Mol. Meseer,

Captain superintendent of Police,

Hongkong.
