II-SWOND, AND SUBSEQUENT, WIFE'S PROSPECTIVE PENSION.
A- Variations Of pension consequent on increments to, and dementents
from, the current annual contribution while the contributor is a widower.
RULE 11 (a)-Assume that the contributor is married to a wife of the
age that his last preceding wife would have been had she survived to the
date of the variation of the contribution, and proceed in accordance with
Rule 1 (c).
example
of tile application of Rule 11 (a).
If the particulars he as iii the example subjoined to Rule I (c), except
that the first wife, who was born on 31st Angust, 1868, died on 30th
November, 1888, 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 31st August, 1868. The calculations will then be identical
with those aiven in the example subjoined to Rule 1 (c).
B.-variations of pension consequent on the remarriage of the con-
tributor.
NOTE-No variation of the registered pension is to be recorded if the
second, or subsequent, wife was at the date of the remarriage of the same
age next birthday as the last preceding wife would have been had she
survived to that date.
RULE II (b)-If the second, or subsequent,, wife was at the date of the
remarriage 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 husbund at the date of remarriage, 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 corresponding to the respective ages of the husband
and of the second, or subsequent, wife at the date oF the remarriage.
The result gives the registered pension to be recorded on the remarriage
of the contributor.
Example
of the application of Rule 11 (b).
Assume particulars as in the example subjoined to the Rule I (a) and
1 (b).

1893, January 31st.-The second wifo being of a less age next birthday
at the date of the remarriage than the first wife would have been had she
survived, the registered pension $166.51 [See example subjoined to

married, the wife at the date of commencement of the contribution is to he
considered as the officer's first wife, and no particulars are to be recorded
respecting any former wife to whom he may have been married, unless
there is issue of such former wife of a pensionable age (see D.-Pensions to
orphan children).
A.-Pension in consideration of the annual contribution current at the
date of commencement of the contribution.
RULE 111 (a)-Turn to the section of Table B which contains in the
heading the age of the husband at the date of completion of his period of
contribution, and multiply the amount of the current annual contribution by
the quantity found from that section corresponding to the respective ages
next birthday of the husband and wife at the date of commencement of the
contribution.
The product gives the registered pension on account of the annual con-
tribution current at the date of commencement of the contribution.

that the deceased wife survived to the date of commencement of the con-
tribntion and died immediately afterwards ; then proceed in accordance
with the rules applicable to the case of officers who commenced to con-
tribute while married (see B).
D.-PENSIONS TO ORPHAN CHILDREN.
regulated by sections 24, 25, 27 and 28 of the Ordinance.
E.-officer TRANSFERRED TO THE SERVICE OF ANOTHER COLONY.
Throughout those rules and examples the calculations depend, not on the
official income of the contributor, but on the amount of his contribution So
.that the transfer of an officer to the service of another Colony does not
aflect his registered pension unless the amount of his current annual con.
tribution is varied, in which case the proper adjustment is to be made in
accordance with the preceding rulles.
F-CALCULATION OF QUANTITIES (OR TABULAR RESULTS) FOR
AGES NOT GIVEN IN THE TABLES.
table A-The quantities are given for every age of the husband from
15 to 64; and for every fifth age of the wife from 15 to 65. Ages of
husbands and wives below or beyond are to be treated as the youngest and
oldest ages given respectively.
For the intermediate ages of wives, interpolate by first differences, as
follows :-
. To finJ the quantity corresponding to the ages of a husband and wife aged
respectively 33 and 27 next birthday.
The quantity for ages 35 and 25 given in the
Table is .................310
The quantity for ages 35 and 30 given in the
Table.................... .332
So that the addition of 5 years to the age of the wife results in an
addition of .022 to the quantity given in tbe Table for ages 35 and 25.
An addition of 2 years to the age of the wife accordingly results by
proportion in an addition of two-fifths of .022 to the quantity given in the
Table for ages 35 and 25.
Two-fifths of .022=.009, which added to .310 gives .319, which is the
required quantity corresponding to ages 35 and 27.
TABLE B.-This Table is divided into eleven sections respectively
applicable to officers who will be aued next birthday 55, 56, 57 . . .
up to 65, when they complete their period of contribution. Care should in
all cases be taken to turn to the section which contains in the heading the
age of the husband at the date of completion of his period of contribution.
in each section the quantities, are given for 35 consecutive ages of the
husband,. terminating at the age preceding that at which the contribution
ceases, and for every fifth age of the wife from 15 to 65.
Ages of the wife below or beyond are to be treated as the youngest and
oldest ages given respectively. For the intermediate ages of wives inter-
polate by first differences as explained above. Thus the quantity found
from the first section of the Table (age 55) corresponding to the noes of a
husband and wife aged respectively 45 and 38 next birthday is tbree-fifths
of .17, added to 1.78, which gives 1.88.
For officers who commence to contribute at all earlier age than 20 next
birthday the method of calculation given in the subjoined examples is to be
followed
EXAMPLE (1)-An office aged 17 next brithday, having a wife aged 15
next birthday, columences to contribute. Assume that the officer is aged
20 next birthday, so that the quantity found from Table B will be 6.05.
This officer receives an increment of salary at age 22 next birthday, when
his wife's age is 20. Assume that his age is 25 next birthday, i.e., his
actual age 22, plus the difference between his actual age at entry and 20,
which is three years. The quantity found from Table B will be 5.16.
EXAMPLE (2)-An officer aged 19 next birthday commences to contribute
as a bachelor, and 5 years later, when aged 24 next birthday, marries ;his
wife's age being 20 next birthday. The quantity found from Table A in
accordance with Rule I (a) will be taken for the actual ages (husband 24
and wife 20) and will be .422. With respect to the current annual contribu-
tion at marriage, assume that the officer's age is 2,5 (his actual age plus 1)
so that the quantity found from Table B will be 5.16.
This officer receives an inercinein of salary when aged 39, when his
wife's acre is 35. Assume as before that the ages are 40 and 35 respectively,
so that the quantity found from table B will be 2.72.
Note-lt will be observed that this method takes account of the actual
number of years for which the annual contribution will run. In Example
(1), when the officer receives the increment, of salary at age 22 lie has
contributed for 5 years, so that at the expiration of 30 years his Contribu-
tions will cease. Similarly in Example (2) when the officer marries at age
24, he also has contributed for 5 years, so that although he is two years
older than the officer in Example (1), yet the unexpired period of contribu-
tion is the same in each case, and the wife's age is in each instance 20, so
that no important error is involved in using the same tabular quantity for
the two cases.
TABLE C.-The quantities are given for the same ages as in Table A.
Ages. or husbands and wives below and beyond are to be treated as in using
that Table.
For the intermediate acres of wives interpolate by first differences as
explained above, except that it must be noted Lhat in this Table an addition
to the age of the wife results in a deductiogt from the quantity given in the
Table.
To find the quantity corresponding to the ages of a husband and wife
aged respectively 35 and 27 next birLliday.
The quantity for ages 35 and 25 given in the
Table is ................3M4
The quantity for ages 35 and 30 given in the
Table....................is 3.010
So that the addition of 5 years to the age of the wife results in a dedue-
tion of .214 from the quantity given in the Table for ages 35 and 25.
An addition of 2 years to the age of the wife accordingly results by
proportion in a deduction of two-fifths of .214 from the quantity given in
the Table for ages 35 and 25.
Two-fifths of .214=.086, which deducted from 3.224 leaves 3.188, which
is the required quantify corresponding to acres 35 and 27.
