51. If it is represented to a Governor that an officer 
whose pensionable emoluments exceed £200 per annum 
has been guilty of misconduct, and the Governor is 
of opinion that the misconduct alleged is not serious 
enough to warrant proceedings under Regulation 42, 
with a view to dismissal, he may cause an investiga- 
tion to be made into the matter in such manner as 
he shall think proper. 
If as a result of such investigation and after con- 
sidering anything the officer may desire to urge on 
his own. behalf the Governor is of opinion that the 
allegation is proved, he may inflict such punishment 
upon the officer by way of fine or reduction in rank, 
or otherwise, as may seem to him just. 
Any such punishment shall be immediately reported 
to the Secretary of State and the report shall be accom- 
panied by a statement of the offence, the evidence in 
support, and such observations as the officer has made 
or desires to make. The Secretary of State may 
approve, vary, or remit the punishment. 
This regulation is without prejudice to any local 
law or regulation providing for the summary punish- 
ment of officers by the Governor or the head of a 
department.
