sums otherwise payable to such person on account of his
non-effective pay and of the emoluments of his fresh em-
ployment :

And whereas such saving has been heretofore effected by
means of a reduction of the non-effective pay, and it appears
to the Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury expedient
that, in the case of officers accepting certain civil employ-
ments of profit, such saving should be effected by reduction
of the emoluments of the fresh employment instead of by
reduction of the non-effective pay :

Now, therefore, the Commissioners of Her Majesty's Trea-
sury, in pursuance of the powers conferred on them by the
Superannuation Act, 1887, and of every other power enabling
them in this behalf, do hereby make the following rules :—

In these rules—

1. (a.) The expression " non-effective pay " shall mean any
   half-pay, or retired pay, or other payment granted by Parlia-
   ment for officers in Her Majesty's naval or land forces on
   account of past service in some portion of those forces, but
   does not include rewards for distinguished or meritorious
   service, nor pensions for wounds.

(b.) The expression " civil employment of profit under any
public department " means any employment the profits of
which are derived from any of the following funds, which are
hereby declared to be public funds, viz. :—

a. The Consolidated Fund ;

b. Money voted by Parliament or receipts taken in reduc-
tion of such money ;

c. Land or hereditary revenues of the Crown ;

d. Crown revenue of the Channel Islands ;

e. Mercantile Marine Fund ;

f. Funds of Greenwich or Chelsea Hospital ;

g. Any other fund which, either from its being adminis-
tered by a public department, or from its receiving a
contribution out of any of the above-mentioned funds,
the Treasury may from time to time determine to be
a public fund ;

but does not include any such employment as the Treasury,
having regard to the regulations of the Admiralty and the
War Department, determine to be a naval or military em-
ployment.

(c.) The expression " naval " shall include " marine," and
the expression " navy " shall include the marines.

(d.) The expression " officer " shall mean any officer who
holds or has retired from a commission in any of the Im-
perial forces, or who has retired with a gratuity or upon non-
effective pay, whether he have commuted such non-effective
pay or not.

(e.) The expression " Imperial forces " means Her Ma-
jesty's Imperial naval or land forces.

(f.) The expression " Colonial Government " means the
Government of any colony, and includes the Government of
Cyprus.

(g.) Other expressions have the same meaning as in the
Superannuation Act, 1887.

I.—Acceptance of Office.

2. An officer who is on the half-pay or retired list, or who
   has commuted his non-effective pay, or retired from the
   Imperial forces with a gratuity, before accepting any civil
   employment of profit under any public department or any
   employment of profit under the Government of any British
   possession, or any employment under the Government of any
   foreign State, shall obtain the consent of the Admiralty or the
   War Department, as the case may be, and the continuance of
   such consent shall be a condition of his holding such em-
   ployment ; and such consent, when given, and a withdrawal
   of such consent, shall be communicated by the giver to the
   Treasury.

3. If any officer fail to obtain such consent, or if he con-
   continues to hold such employment after the consent is with-
   drawn, he shall be liable to have his non-effective pay
   suspended or reduced, either permanently or temporarily,
   according as the Treasury may direct, and, if he have com-
   muted such pay or retired with a gratuity, shall be liable to
   pay to Her Majesty the amount of commutation-money or
   gratuity, or such portion thereof as the Treasury may direct.

III.—Employment of Naval or Military Officers by

Colonial Governments (exclusive of the Govern-
ment of India).

10. If an officer on the active list now holds, or shall here-
    after accept, any employment of profit under any colonial
    Government, not remunerated out of Imperial funds, he
    shall draw no pay, effective or non-effective, from Imperial
    funds so long as he holds that employment ; but, if his
    employment appears to the Admiralty or War Department
    to be of a nature to afford practical experience likely to be
    afterwards of public advantage in the event of his return to
    Imperial service, his service under the colonial Government
    may, if the Admiralty or War Department think fit, count
    towards promotion and retirement as though it were service
    in the Imperial forces, and in that case the retired pay
    earned by his colonial service whilst he remains on the said
    active list will in due course be chargeable on Imperial
    funds.

11. An officer on the active list shall accept and hold any
    employment of profit under a colonial Government on con-
    dition only that the employment does not, in the absence of
    exceptional circumstances, last for a period exceeding five
    years, and is not renewed.

12. If an officer retire from the Imperial forces whilst he
    holds an employment of profit under a colonial Government,
    he may at once draw so much of his retired pay as was
    earned by Imperial service before his entering the colonial
    service ; and upon his retirement from the colonial service
    he may also draw the retired pay earned by so much of his
    colonial service as preceded his retirement from the Imperial
    forces.*

13. If an officer on the retired list now holds, or shall
    hereafter accept, an employment of profit under a colonial
    Government, his retired pay, even though earned by mixed
    Imperial and colonial service, shall not be suspended in
    whole or in part by reason of such employment, unless the
    Admiralty or War Department think fit otherwise to order ;
    and any such order may be carried into effect.

14. Service under a colonial Government subsequent to an
    officer's retirement from the Imperial forces shall not in-
    crease the charge for his non-effective pay upon Imperial
    funds.

IV.—Saving Clauses.

15. If any officer who is on the half-pay or retired list, or
    who has commuted his non-effective pay, or retired from the
    Imperial forces with a gratuity, accepts or holds any civil
    employment of profit under any public department, or any
    employment under the Government of any British posses-
    sion, and is not subject to rule 4, or is not subject to rules
    10 to 14, both inclusive, he shall accept and hold such em-
    ployment on condition that he does not receive any part of
    any sum granted for non-effective pay for any time during
    which he holds such employment, except as hereafter
    mentioned, that is to say,—

(a.) If the appointment is in Her Majesty's household, he
may receive the full amount of his non-effective pay :

(b.) If the annual emoluments of the employment do not
exceed three times the amount of the highest rate of
non-effective pay attached to the rank, by virtue of
which he claims to receive non-effective pay, such
person may, with Her Majesty's pleasure to that
effect, signified by the Treasury, through one of Her
Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State, receive the
non-effective pay to which he would be entitled if he
held no such employment of profit :

(c.) Where the annual emoluments of the employment
exceed three times the amount of such highest rate of
non-effective pay as aforesaid, but fall short of four
times such amount, the holder of such employment
may, with Her Majesty's pleasure signified in the
manner aforesaid, receive so much non-effective pay
as, added to the emoluments of his employment, will
together make up four times the amount of such non-
effective pay.

16. In the case of any officer who has accepted any
    employment before the passing of the Superannuation
    Act, 1887, the foregoing rules shall not, without his con-
    sent, apply to him so far as respects that employment ; and,
    if he does not so consent, the law and regulations applying
    to such officer immediately before such passing shall con-
    tinue to apply to him so far as respects that employment.

Treasury, September, 1887.

• This rule corresponds with a concession made by the Treasury
  in a letter to the War Department, dated 19th November, 1886, and
  acted upon in certain cases from not earlier than that date (vide
  pages 34-35 of sessional paper (85) of 1887).
