The Scale of Premiums adopted by this Office will be ' found of a very moderate character , but at the same time quite adequate to the risk incurred . Pour-fifths , or 80 per cent , of the Profits , arc assigned to Policies every fifth year , and may be applied to increase the sum insured , to an immediate payment in cash , or to the reduction and ultimate extinction of future Premiums . One-third of the Premium on Insurances of 500 ? . and upwards , for the whole term of life , may remain as a debt upon the Policy , to be paid off at convenience ; or the Directors will lend sums of 50 / . and upwards , on the security of Policies effected with this Company for the whole term of life , when they have acquired an adequate Value . Secitritt . —Those who effect Insurances with this Company are protected by its Subscribed Capital of 750 , 0002 ., of < which nearly 140 , 000 / . is invested , from the risk incurred by members of Mutual Societies . The satisfactory financial condition of the Company , exclusive of the Subscribed and Invested Capital , will be seen by the following statement : — At the close of the last Financial Year the sums Assured , including Bonus added , amounted to ; £ 2 , 50 O , OO 0 The Premium Fund to more than 800 , 000 And the Annual Income from the same source , to 109 , 000 Insurances , without participation in Profits , may bo effected at reduced rates . -SAMUEL INGALL , Actuary .
