In each of the cases under Rule 1 (c) the registered
pension is recorded subject to the provisions of Section 2.
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.

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.
