Regulations made by the Governor in Council, in pursuance of Section 4 of Ordinance No. 8 of 1869, for the granting of Police Pensions,

1. The following Regulations apply to all Inspectors, Sergeants, Sergeant Inter- preters, and Constables of the Police Force who may join after the present date; excep- ting those who may enlist under special agreement.

2. Subject to the exceptions and provisions hereinafter contained, a Pension will be granted to any Member of the Force, who has completed fifteen years' service, at a rate not exceeding 20/60ths of the Annual pay of his rank, provided he shall have been in receipt of the same for the last three years; otherwise, the Pension shall be calculated upon the average amount of pay received by such person during the three years next preceding the commencement of such Pension. Further, for every full and complete year's service after fifteen years, an addition to the Annual Pension of 1/60th part of his annual pay shall be made for each additional year of such service,

3. Any Member of the Force who may be invalided after serving ten complete years and under fifteen years, may (provided that such invaliding be not the conse- quence of intemperate or vicious habits) be granted a Pension not exceeding 15/60ths of the average of the Annual pay of his rank during the past three years for ten years' service, and 1/60th for each full and complete year's service after ten years.
