9. Vacancies, if any, in Grade V of the Subordinate Civil Service ($480 to $660 by $60 annual increments), existing at the time of the examination will be filled at once from Probationer Clerks, and other vacancies in this grade as they occur will be given to Probationer Clerks in the order of their seniority. If Probationer Clerks do not accept appointments offered to them, their services will be dispensed with.
10. Probationer Clerks receiving appointments will be required to give a full mouth's notice of their intention to resigu, or to forfeit a month's pay.
11. Probationer Clerks on receiving appointments will serve a further term of probation in those appointments, which will usually be three months, but may be extended as the Governor may determine. If they do not give satisfaction during this term, their services will be dispensed with, and they will be debarred from again entering for examination.
12. When a Clerk is confirmed in a permanent appointment, the fee he paid for exami- nation will be returned to him. In no other case will the fee paid by a candidate who has been examined be returned.
13. Clerks who are confirmed in permanent appointments will be subject to all Rules, Regulations, Orders and Instructions of the Hongkong Civil Service applicable to their appointments.

15. Grade VI comprises a small number of minor appointments not obtained by exami- nation. Holders of these appointments, who obtain the qualifying percentage of marks at one of the half-yearly examinations, will be offered appointments in Grade V according to the order in which they appear on the list. Paras. 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 of this noti- fication do not apply to Clerks holding these appointments who qualify or attempt to qualify for a higher grade. If they fail to pass the examination they will remain in their previous position and if they fail to give satisfaction in their new appointment they will revert to their previous position.
16. Appointments to clerkships in higher grades than Grade V will as heretofore be made by selection and, except in special cases, from Clerks in the Service at the time the vacancies occur.
