[1st November, 1898.
Preamble.Whereas it is equitable that deserving persons who during the prime of life have helped to bear the public burdens of the colony by the payment of taxes, and to open up its resources by their labour and skill, should receive from the colony a pension in their old age:

Be it therefore enacted by the General Assembly of New Zealand in Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:—

1.Short Title. The Short Title of this Act is "The Old-age Pensions Act, 1898."
2.Interpretation. In this Act, if not inconsistent with the context,—
  • "Income" means any moneys, valuable consideration, or profits derived or received by any person for his own use or benefit in any year, by any means or from any source; and shall be deemed to include personal earnings, but not any pension payable under this Act, nor any payment by way of sick-allowance or funeral benefit from any registered friendly society:
  • "Income-year" means the year ending one month before the date on which the pension-claim is finally admitted, and at the same time in each subsequent year:
  • "Prescribed" means prescribed by this Act or by regulations thereunder.
