I have the honour to state that Sir William
Rees-Davies, the Chief Justice, has informed me of his
intention to retire from the Service next year, and he asks that his pension may be calculated. I attach a copy of a
letter which he has addressed to me in this connection.
The pension in respect of Service in Hongkong comes under paragraph 2 of the Pension Mimate, which reads:
"A Judge of the Supreme Court who, before being
"made a Judge, has served the Goverment of the Colony
"in another capacity and who has not less than ten “years' service in the Colony in all (including his
"service as a Judge), may claim a pension at the rate
"of one-thirtieth of his salary as such Judge for each
"year of his service as such Judge together with one-
"sixtieth of the salary received by him previous to his. "becoming a Judge for each year of his service in that
"other capacity with an addition to such service which
"shall bear the same proportion to five years as such "service bears to his total service in the Colony."
Sir William Rees-Davies held the office of
Attorney General from the 28th June, 1907, until the 30th
April, 1912, and his pensionable service in that office,
