During the last three years upwards of 1,200 new assurances have been effected, yielding an increase of premium income of more than 20,0001, per annum ; and, although a general high rate of mortality has prevailed among assured lives during the last two years, it has not been deemed necessary to reduce, in the slightest degree, the allowances previously awarded to the policy-holders. lhe Members present at the Meeting were fully satisfied with the Report, and resolved unanimously that a reduction of 315 per cent. should be made in the current year's Premium payable by all policy-holders now entitled to participate in the Profits.
