II. Second and Subsequent Wife's Prospective Pension. (a) Variations of pension consequent on increments to, and decrements from, the current annual contribution while the contributor is a widower. Rule II (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 I (c). 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 12th August, 1909, died on 30th November, 1943, 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 12th August, 1909. The calculations will then be identical with those given in the example subjoined to Rule I (c). (b) Variations of pension consequent on the re-marriage of the contributor. If the second or subsequent wife was, at the date of the re-marriage, of the same age last birthday as the last preced- ing wife would have been had she survived to that date, the registered pension remains the same. t For calculations see F on page 28. 26 No. 7 Pensions (Widows and Orphans) (Amendment). 1936 Rule II (b).-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 last birthday of the husband at the date of re-marriage and the age last 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 re-marriage. The result gives the registered pension to be recorded on the re-marriage of the contributor. Example of the application of Rule II (b):- Assume particulars as in the example subjoined to Rule I (c). First wife died on 30th November, 1943. Contributor re-married on 31st January, 1947. Contributor's age last birthday at date of re-marriage, 43. Second wife born on 30th June, 1911.

No. 7 Pensions (Widows and Orphans) (Amendment) 1936 III. First Wife's Prospective Pension. In every case of a public officer who commenced to contri- bute while married, the wife at the date of commencement of contributions is to be considered as the officer's first wife, and no particulars are to be recorded respecting any former wife, unless there is issue of such former wife of a pension- able age (see C.V.). (a) Pension in consideration of the annual contribution current at the date of commencement of the contribution. Rule III (a).-Multiply the amount of the current annual contribution by the quantity found from Table B correspond- ing to the respective ages last 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 contribution current at the date of commencement of the contribution. Example of the application of Rule III (a):- Officer born on 31st July, 1903. ,, married on 30th June, 1930. S commenced to contribute on 1st January, 1932. Annual contribution current on 1st January, 1932, 21. Wife born on 12th August, 1906. Officer's age last birthday on 1st January, 1932, 28. Wife's age last birthday on 1st January, 1932, 25.

IV. Second and subsequent Wife's Prospective Pension. (a) Variations of pension consequent on increments to, and decrements from, the current annual contribution while the contributor is a widower. Rule IV (a). Proceed as in Rule II (a). (b) Variations of pension consequent on the re-marriage Of the contributor. Rule IV (b).

Proceed as in Rule I (c). No. 7 Pensions (Widows and Orphans) (Amendment). 1936 C.-CONTRIBUTOR WHO COMMENCED TO CONTRIBUTE WHILE A WIDOWER. V. Prospective Pension to Children by his first Marriage. So long as a contributor's children by his first marriage are eligible for pension, a pension must be registered on their behalf. If there are no such children, the widower should be treated as if he were a bachelor. Rule V. For the purpose of calculating the registered pension of the children, assume that the deceased wife lived until the date of commencement of contribution and died immediately afterwards and proceed in accordance with Rules III (a) and (b). VI. Second and Subsequent Wife's Prospective Pension. Rule VI. For the purpose of calculating the registered pension of the wife assume that the deceased wife survived to the date of commencement of contribution and died immediately afterwards: then proceed in accordance with the Rules applicable to the case of officers who commenced to contribute while married (see B). D.-CONTRIBUTOR WITH TWO OR MORE BENEFICIARIES. Rule VII. Where there are children eligible for pension by two or more deceased wives, or where there is a wife and also children eligible for pension by one or more previous marriages, the pension of each beneficiary as found by the above Rules must be divided by the total number of the beneficiaries then existing in order to find the registered pension of that beneficiary. E.-TREATMENT OF VOLUNTARY LUMP SUM CONTRIBUTIONS. Rule VIII (a). If the contributor is a bachelor or a widower without children of a pensionable age, the lump sum contribution should be accumulated as from the date of payment and treated in accordance with Rule I (a) (1) or Rule I (a) (2) whichever is applicable. Rule VIII (b). If the contributor is married or a widower with children of a pensionable age, the amount of the lump sum contribution should be multiplied by the quantity found from Table A corresponding to the respective ages last birthday of the husband and wife at the date of payment of the contribution. If the contributor is a widower, assume that the deceased wife lived until the date of payment of the lump sum contribution and died immediately afterwards. F.-CALCULATION OF QUANTITIES (OR TABULAR RESULTS) FOR AGES NOT GIVEN IN THE TABLES. The wife's age in the Tables is given at quinquennial intervals only. Ages of husbands and wives younger than the youngest or older than the oldest given are to be dealt with as if identical with the youngest and oldest respectively. a4. 7 Pe1nes (jWidovi and Orphasuy mend 1936 FQo the inWermediate ages of wives, interpolate by exact fifths. Examples:- To find the quantity in Table A corresponding to the ages of a husband and wife aged respectively, 35 and 27 last birthday.:-- The quantity for ages 35 and 25 given in Table A is -366. The quantity for ages 35 and 30 given in Table A is .394. So that the: addition of five years to the age of the wife results in an addition of -028 to the quantity given in the Table for ages 35 and 25. An addition of two years to the age of the wife accordingly results, by proportion, in an addition of two- fifths of -028 to the quantity given in the Table for ages 35 and 25. Two-fths of 029=-0ft41 which, added to -366, gives -377, which is the required quantity corresponding to ages 35 and 27. Similarly the quantity found from Table B corresponding to the ages of a husband and wife aged respectively, 48 and 42 last birthday is two-fifths of -042 added to -313, which gives -330. In the case of Table C, it must be noted that an addition to the 'age of the wife results in a deduction from the quantity given in the Table. To find the quantity in Table C' corresponding to the ages of a husband and wife aged respectively, 43 and 37 last birthday :- The quantity for ages 43 and 35 given in the Table is 2-93. The quantity for ages 43 and 40 given in the Table is 2-63. So that the addition of five years to the age of the wife results in a deduction of -30 from the quantity given in the Table for ages 43 and 35. An addition of two years to the age of the wife accordingly results, by proportion, in a deduction of two- fifths of -30 from the quantity given in the Table for ages 43 and 35. ., Two-filf of -30=-12, which deducted from 2.93 leaves 2-81, which is the required quantity corresponding to ages 43 and 37. 30 No. 7 Pensions (Widows and Orphans) (Amendment). 1936 Passed in the Legislative Council this fifth day of May, in the year of Our Lord one thousand nine hundred and thirty-six.
