period subsequent to such appointment if the annual amount of the profits of the office
to which he shall be appointed shall be equal to those of the office formerly held by
him ; and in case it shall not be equal to those of his former office, then no more of

such pension shall be paid to him than what with the salary of his new appointment
shall be equal to the profits of his former office.

12. A pension is granted only on the condition that it becomes forfeited, and
may be withdrawn by His Excellency the Governor, in any of the following cases : ---

(a.) On the conviction of the grantee for any indictable offence.

(b.) On his knowingly associating with thieves or suspected persons .

(c.) On his refusing to give information and assistance to the Police whenever
in his power, for the detection and apprehension of criminals, and for
the suppression of any disturbance of the public peace.

(d.) If he enter into or continue to carry on any business, occupation, or
employment, which shall be, in the opinion of His Excellency the
Governor, disgraceful in itself or injurious to the public, or in which
he shall make use of the fact of his former employment in the Police
in a manner which His Excellency the Governor considers to be dis
creditable and improper.


13. It shall, however, be in the discretion of the Governor in Council to grant a
special rate of pension to any subordinate officer or constable of the Police Force who
may be compelled to quit the public service by reason of severe bodily injury,
occasioned without his own fault , in the discharge of his public duty.

In every such case the amount of pension shall be made to vary partly in propor
tion to the number of years served by the injured man, and partly in proportion to
the severity of the injury. The portion of the pension earned by length of service
shall be calculated at the rate of 1 /60th of the salary and emoluments of the sufferer
at the time when the injury or accident occurred, for each year of service completed
by him at the time he retires, whether the number of years served be more or less
than 10, but no number of years service shall be allowed to give a claim to pension of
more than 40/60ths in respect of service only ; and in every such case a medical certi
ficate shall be furnished stating :

(a .) Whether the capacity of the sufferer to contribute towards his own
support is slightly impaired , impaired, materially impaired, or totally
destroyed, and

(b. ) Whether such incapacity is likely to be permanent.

(c.) Whether the retirement is to be attributed solely and immediately to the
injuries received .
