Colonial

Regulation

38.

No. 12.

Except where otherwise provided, seniority as

between persons selected for appointment from outside

the Colony, will be determined by the date of arrival

in the Colony. Where, however, two or more persons

selected from outside the Colonial Service arrive on the

same date, seniority inter se will be determined by the

date of the letter from the Colonial Office confirming the

selection, or, in the case of officers engaged on agreement,

by the date of the agreement. Seniority in any department

will be determined by the date of an officer's appointment

to the particular class or grade in which he is serving.
