This Society is established on the tried and approved prinsiple of Mutual Assurance. The funds are accumulated fur the exolu ive benefit of the Policy-holders, under their own immediate superintendence and control. The profits are divided annually, and applied in reduction of the current premiums. Policy holders participate in profits after payment of live annual pre miums. The Annual General Meeting of this Society was held on the 10th May, 1855, when a Report of the business fur the lasi year was presented, exhibiting a statement of most satisfactory pro gress. It appeared that during the two last years, 185:1 and 1854, between 800 and 100 new Assurances had been effected, producing an increase of premium income amounting to 14,0101. per annum. It also appeared that, notwithstanding the esti aor divary mortality which prevailed during the last year in tons.- quence of the visitation of the cholera, it had not been found necessary to reduce, in the slightest, the allowance of 311 per cent. previously awarded to the Policy-holders. Credit is allowed for half the Annual Premiums for the first five years. A. R. IRVINE, Managing Director. 14, Waterloo place, London. LAW LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY. FLEFTSTREET, London.
