The action was to recover damages for an alleged libel. From the opening statement it appeared that in December last the plaintiff was solicitor to Messrs. Eley in the Chancery suit of " Daw v.

In the course of the case his lordship made a sug gestion to the parties, which resulted in a settlement of the litigation. Mr. Sergeant O'Brien said that. his client was satisfied with the explanation that had been given. A juror was then by consent withdrawn.

The directors draw special attention to the fact tort the next bonus valuation will take place at the end of the year 1872, and that all polices effected on the profit scales prior to the 31st December, 1869, will be entitled to participate in the same. The directors also draw attention to the successful esta blishment during the past year of the Britannia Fire Association, under the auspices of the Briton. The direc tors believe that the establishment of a Fire Company, to work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much to the advantage and profit of both institutions. It is scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct. By order of the Board, JOHN MESSENT, Actuary and Secretary.

The whole assets, productive and unproductive, may there fore be considered as having improved at the rate of rather more than 4 per cent. ; or, if the profit shown of £46,070 13s. 3d., derived from various extraneous sources, bo in cluded, at upwards of £5 12s. per cont.

The claims on decease of lives assured are nearly iden tical in amount with those of 1866. They are less than those of last year by nearly £19,000. A considerable reduction, too, appears in the amount of premiums paid for re-assurance, many of the risks re-assured having terminated by death and other causes. The expenses of management are less than those of last year by upwards of £1,400. But they still include charges incurred in the final closing of the two officeslast absorbed by the company.

A BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London, E.O. Established 1.848. The Directors of this Company, in deference to an ob jection not unfrequently urged by persons invited to as sure, that the ordinary mode of Life Assurance is in their opinion defective or uncertain, by reason of the operation of the customary conditions, have resolved to promulgate the present Tables, and to issue Assurances under them which shall be absolutely Unforfeitable, Unconditional, and Unchallengeable. . . For the reason referred to, many persons hesitate or decline to assure on the ground that, in the event of in ability or unwillingness to continue payment of their pre miums, the Assurance will become forfeited. To this class of the public the system now introduced will espe cially commend itself, being entirely free from all condi tions of forfeiture on account of non-payment of premium, or from any other cause whatever; while at the same time it absolutely guarantees at decease, when even a de fault is made in payment of the premium, a fixed sum in respect of every premium paid. bearing the same propor tion to the total amount assured as the number of pre miums actually paid may bear to the whole numbei origi nally contracted to be paid. Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance. The assured will thus always have the option of retain ing either an ascertained fixed sum payable at decease, or, in case of need, of withdrawing a certain amount, ac cording t . the duration of the Policy, such amounts being sot forth on every Policy, and rendering unnecessary any future reference to the Company on these points, as is the case with ordinary assurances. Creditors assuring the lives of debtors will appreciate this feature as one greatly protective of their interests, and it will likewise commend itself to bankers, capitalists, and others who are in the habit of making advances collaterally secured by Life Policies, as they can at any time learn, by more inspection, the exact value, either immediate or re versionary, of a Policy of this description. Every Policy hsued on this plan will be withcrut any conditions as to voyaaing, foreign residence, or other usual limitations. By this freedom from restrictions of all kinds the objections before referred to will be entirely removed, and the Policies will become at once positively valuable as actual securities. In addition to the foregoing statement of advantages, the number of premiums is strictly defined. The longest term provided for is twenty-fire years, and the shortest five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, hankers, credi tors, and others holding policies of this class as security, may always know the utmost amount they may be called npon to advance so as to mait,tain the full benefit of the Assnrances—a matter of great importance where policies are held as collateral security. _ _ It is only necessary to nt1..1 that, ns a consognene-e of the policies under these tables !wing unforfeitable anti uncon ditional, they will also be unchallengeable on any ground whatever. - They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security The PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos sesses nn ivrome of £215,000 a year Its position is un questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of now hnArw e s of any office in the Kingdom.

It will be remembered that the fire took place several months ago. and property to the value of £lO,OOO was destroyed. The origin was unknown, but within the last few days two boys have made a confession implicating two of their companions. The former boys, Goodyeer and Waugh, appeared as wit nesses for the prosecution of Wildsmith and Hepworth. Goodyeer said that both the prisoners worked at the mill in the same room with him, and he had been asked by them to bring some matches, which he did. Waugh said that a few days before the fire Hepworth asked him if he would agree to be with him to set the mill on fire. On the evening of the fire he saw Hepworth go to the stove. Three weeks later Hepworth told him that he and Wild. smith fired the mill. The prisoners, who made no answer when charged, were committed to the assizes for trial, bail being accepted.

From the prison in Columbus eleven con victs escaped, and in Cleveland County Gaol the plan for a general delivery was almost successful. In the former (Juno 6) the turnkey Mahe,: t unlocked the doors of two prisoners, whose good conduct had obtained for them the privilege of unlocking the other cell doors. Both dashed at him and struck him down, enveloping his head in a sheet, tying a handkerchief tightly over his mouth, and with his Let strapped together he was deposited in a cell minus keys and pistols. The doors being unlocked, eleven of-the prisoners coolly walked out and dispersed, but seve ral were afterwards seen together with arms, and a reward has been offered for their apprehension. The prisoners were not however, so fortunate with turnkey Koehler of the Cleveland County Gaol. About the same time on the same day as in Columbus, Mr. Koehler, according to custom, unlocked the cells, when two notorious ruffians sprang upon him as previously concerted, knocked him down, but in spite of their efforts to choke him, his shouts brought assistance, and the attack was defeated. The burglar Flynn availed himself of the opportunity of the general confusion to slip into the cell of a prisoner namedGll i,whohadig y e n evidence against him, and ferociously attacked him .
