EUROPEANS.

Leave at the expiration of Fire Years' Service

1. Any European Member of the Police Force may, after each period of five years' ser- vice, on claiming his return passage, under § 16 of Ordinance 11 of 1900, apply through the Captain Superintendent of Police to His Excellency the Governor for permission to return to the service within a period not exceeding ten months,

2. Should this application be approved, the applicant will receive full 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 bis fitness to return to a tropical climate.

3. The Applicant shall enter into a bond for the refund of the full pay, or the difference between his pension and full pay as the case may be, drawn after his leaving the Colonies, in cuse he does not return at the period specified.

4. The 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 1, 2, and 3, anything therein con- tained to the contrary notwithstanding.

5. On the Applicant's return to the Colony, he shall be reinstated in his relative position in the Forer, and he will be sworn in for a further period of five years' service under §§ 8 and 13 of Ordinance 11 of 1900.

6. 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 leave. 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.

7. The period of time spent on leave will not count towards the calculation of time cons- ituting any term of five years' service for passage.

Note: Under Section 2 he is entitled to a return passage, 2nd class, at the cost of the Colony, subject to his passing a satisfactory Medical Examination about 3 months before the expiration of his leave as to his fitness to return to a tropical climate. He is also entitled to 2nd class return passage as above for his wife and children.
