IL-SECOND, AND SUBSEQUENT, WIFE'S PROSPECTIVE PENSION.

(4) Variations of pension consequent on increments to, and decrements from, the current annual contribution while the contributor is a widower.

RULE II (1)

Assume that the contributor is married to a wife of the age that his last pre- ceding wife would have been had she survived to the date of the variation of the contribution, and proceed in accord- ance with Rule I (e).

Example

of the application of Rule II (a).

If the particulars be as in the example subjoined to Rule I (c), except that the first wife, who was born on 31st August, 1888, died on 30th November, 1908, it would be assumed that the contributor was at the date of each of the three variations of the contribution married to a wife who was born on the 31st August, 1888. The calenlations will then be identical with those given in the example subjoined to Rule I (c).

(8) Variations of pension consequent on the re-marriage of the

contributor.

NOTE.- No variation of the registered pension is to be recorded if the second or subsequent, wife was at the date of the re-marriage of the same age next birth day as the last preceding wife would have been had she survived to that date.

RELE II (6)—If the second, or subsequent, wife was at the date of the re-marriage of a less or greater age next birthday than the last preceding wife would have been had she survived to that date, multiply the amount of the registered pension by the quantity found from Table C corresponding to the age next birthday of the husband at the date of re-mar- riage, and the age next birthday which the last preceding wife would have attained had she survived to that date; multiply the product so obtained by the quantity found from Table A cor- responding to the respective ages of the husband and of the second, or sub- sequent, wife at the date of the re-mar- ringe.

The result gives the registerel pension to he recorded on the re- marriage of the contributor.

Example

Assume particulars as in the example subjoined to Rules I (4)
