The CHAIRMAN congratulated the Members on meeting to gether for the first time as a Corporation ; and, after adverting to the advantages, both general and special, conferred by the Statute of Incorporation, explained the alterations proposed to be made on the provisions of the Deed of Constitution in re ward to forfeiture of Policies, which are detailed in the Report. He stated that the other alterations proposed were merely for the removal of slight practical defects which the experience of . . eleven years had developed in the working of the "The only other alteration to which I shall advert is the in troduction of a clause giving power to the Directors to pay the sums in Policies within the stipulated period of six months after the death of a Member—of course, under deduction of interest for the period to run. We have frequently found, on the death of a parent,. that prompt payment of the provision was a matter of great importance to his family, and in practice the Directors have never hesitated to pay the claim at once whenever an early settlement was wished. It has been thought advisable, however, that an express authority to that effect should be embodied in the Regulations. " Such, gentlemen, are the alterations proposed to-day for your approval. We consider them very important, not merely, for the Interests of our own Institution, but for the promotion of the great cause of Life Assurance, and especially of Mutual Assurance. In. Mutual Assurance Societies there is no place for conflicting interests. Ours is a law of love. All of us are interested in each others welfare; and all are alike benefited by making our own and our neighbour's policy an indefeasible an certain provision, where the transaction has been entered into with honesty and fairness. We propose these alterations, therefore, as being sound in principle, and certainly in nospirit of over-competition. We should be happy to see other offices follow our example, so that all of us may he in a position to do the greatest tunJunt of good amongst our fellows. Still I must say I am glad that this Institution has had the honour to pro pose these changes. We are the first to combine Moderate Premiums with the system of Mutual itssurance . : and, at the risk of losing the support of a powerful class, we have ever re probated the system of bribery, which, under cover of a com mission to la - v agents, tended to lead them to sacrifice the in .• . ial System Ist, if you right that we should also stand foremost in r and injudicious restrictions, and in placinc , the Mitt on the most liberal footing; and I cannot doubt tl shall concur in the views of the Directors, and shall sandlon the changes which have formed the subject of their anxious _ • A A • .irrlltchnn menthe thga Irchrmr h.e+ will follow, not only to our own Institution, but to the cause of Life Assurance in general. A RCH znALD THOM.QON, Esq., as Convener of the Committee, brought up the REPORT BY THE DIRECTORS. The year to which the present Report refers has been un exampled in commercial difficulty and depression, and although the amount of new business falls somewhat short of the pre vious year, the Directors conceive that they have good ground for congratulation in the results which they are enabled :to state. . . The number of new Policies issued, namely 430 than in any year since the commencement, with the e ink year the immediately precec, He amount fAs effected by these Policies is £172,714 65., and of the Premiums thereon, £5,199 9s. 2d. Notwithstanding the increased number of members knnual high rate of mortality in the country, heightened by the ra vages of the epidemic which has been so fatal in many parts of Scotland, it is gratifying to state that the amount of claims emerging in the past year is considerably lower than was re ported in the preceding year. Among members assured for capital sums thirty-one deaths have occurred, the total amount of their Policies being £14,650. Several annuities and contin gent assurances have terminated favourably for the fund. rjle f l o te m l At Slat December, 1848, upwards of 3,400 policies had been issued. The amcunt of subsisting Assurances was ..1,254,478 r' e os 3 p 4 e 9 r 3 o o us 3s c . on s n d ition of the 135., and the income from Premiums alone, exclusive of re venue)otrhte then a Accumulatedalluded dto o F t u h n e d p , Branches in Glasgow and London, to the Statute of Incorpora tion, and to the alterations on some of the details of the Deed of Constitution referred to in the Chairman's address—pro ceeoine,•.] In the sound administration of an Assurance Society, it may be assumed that the assured should have the highest prac ticable security for the attainment of the object contemplated _ . by him Nor ought this security to be dependent on the good feeling or liberal conduct of t..e Directors, but should be abso lute, as forming an integral part of the contract between the contingencies which involve a forfeiture of the Policy ouxht to be as few as :s ccmpatible with the safety of the Society , : In the older Assurance Companies, which were mostly proprietary, such contingencies were comparatively numerous, in part ap pearing in specific terms on the face of the Policy, and in part deducable, by legal inference, from its phraseology. This mul tiplication of forfeitures. probably arose . in no small degree from a desire on the part of the Com:tames to increi se their profits by depriving the assured of the benefits for which he had paid. No such inducement can exist on the part of So cieties for Mutual Assurance in which the interests of the assurer and the assured are necessarily identical. The injus tice of these forfeitures, as well as their influence in deterring from assurance, are self-evident. And it is obviously for the interest both of the Community and of Assurance Societies that such grounds of forfeiture should be abolished consistent with safety. And although theabrogation, or relax ation of some of them may. when each is considered apart, have no great effect in promoting Life Assurance generally, or the welfare of a particular institution, yet, when combined, such abrogations will operate forcibly in creating the desired feeling of security and confidence, and in giving the a steady advance in liberal principles. Such feelings of insecurity have of late become E I, as far as promise prevalent, from the construction which, in some cases, been given to the warranty, or condition that there shall be forfeiture, if the proposal and declaration made at admissio as the basis of the contract, shall contain any untrue avermen This rule has hitherto formed a part •of the articles of A Companies, and it has been so interpreted as to subvert all reasonable confidence in the validity of the contract. For it has been held that, although there be no fraud, or concealment, or misrepresentation, and although both the applicant and his referees acted with perfect good faith in making the averment, yet if it should be eventually found to be "untrue." the policy was forfeited. The most obvious, as well as most common, illustration of the effect of this interpretation is to be be found in the assured having, at the date of the application, the germ of a malady which ultimately proved fatal, but of which he was entirely ignorant at the date of his declaration, and the exist enceofwhich was ascertained onlyby a post mortem examination. Here the object of the assurance would be absolutely defeated, and the company might profit largely, while the assured was with entire goo'd faith. The - actual state of the 1. Wert is very unsatisfactory for the assured, and it inn that there should be a demand for a change if Assurance Companies. . . . Your director, _ the exception of the averment as to age, there shall be no for feiture unless the averments be fradulent as well as untrue. This appears to be the just and reasonable construction of the contract, and that by which, notwithstanding the formerwords of the Deed of Constitution, the directors would have governed themselves in practice. But according to a principle already indicated. they hold the sound course to be that the security of the assured should be derived, not from their discretion, hut from his right under the Deed of Constitution. This is the full length to which the principle of indefeasibility can safely be carried, for the doctrine maintained by some that the policy ought to be indefeaSible even if fraud did exist, appears to be wholly untenable, for reasons which are too clear to require detail. The sound and just reasons for defeasibility through fraud ought not to be disregarded. on the ground that the in- stances in which frauds would be perpetrated would probably be rare. The forfeiture resulting from an untrue averment as to age has however been retained, because on that pointacctl rate information can be procured with ordinary care, and no encouragement should be given to inattention to so important a part of the basis of the contract. But the power of allowing the correction of innocent error as to age is given to the direct ors by the amended rules. In connexion with the general question of forfeitures, it has also been thought advisable to annul the rule in two specific ca- es, and to modify it in a third. Hitherto forfeiture has been the result if the assured should din by the band ofjustice, or in a duel. These forfeitures ap pear to have originated partly from an erroneous idea enter tained by Assurance Companies that it was their duty to act as a kind of moral police, arid partly from the actual Clanger of loss accruing from the state of the law and the unhappy usages of society. A sanguinary code of laws multiplied capital punishments, and a false idea of honour had rendered the practice of duelling, of too common occurrence. But capital punishments have s partly by the alteration of the laws, and partly by public opinion operate ngthrough the verdicts ofjuries, ceased to exist, except in cases of deliberate murder. Duelling is now almost extinct, and in the few instances where it does oc cur the results are so seldom fatal, that, as a cause of death, it is so minute as to be inappreciable. No countenance can justly be held to be given to the practice by abrogating the for feiture; and the true tone which Assurance Companies should now adopt is to regard duelling as an evil, the immediate ces sation of which, it may be safely assumed, will be accomplished by the joint influence of principle and of the improved habits of society. While these forfeitures have been abrogated, another has been modified, as involving matter of difficulty. According to a strict view, suicide should be a cause of forfeiture only where it has been committed with the intention of defrauding the assurers. But the extreme difficulty of obtaining proof that such was the object, has rendered it necessary to adopt a broaderrule, which has varied in the regulations of different Assurance Societies. In some there is a forfeiture if the party assured die by his own hand, although the act would not amount to fele de se; while, in others, it was provided that he must he held f e l o de se, and, therefore, of sound mind. The former rule is ad verse to every dictate of justice and sound feeling. For, if the suicide be insane, although his hand be the instrument, his malady is the true cause of death, as much as if he died through cholera or fever. Jn accordance with this view the rule has been so modified as that there shall be no forfeiture unless the deceased was of sate mind, or, in other words, wil fully and deliberately took away his life. In thus modifying the forfeiture, the loss by suicide will be hardly appreciable. From statistics which have been furnished to your directors. by high medical authority, it appeals that t he deaths by s u i c id e amongst the members of the community whose habits of mind would lead them to assure are so very few that a calculation o loss would be practicably unattainable. Where the policy has been assigned for onerous cases, it i, proposed that there shall be no forfeiture, as far as regards thi •s, by the-fa the Assured by suicide. No argtiment is necessary to eat. lish the propriety of tb , s alteration, whether with regard to justice to the Policy-holders, or with a view to the commercial value of the Policies. This Report, with the relative States and the Report by the Auditors, having been read by the Manager, ROBERT CHALMERS, Esq., Publisher, submitted the fol lowing Motion:— _ . "The Meeting approve of the Report now read; and furti approve of the alterations on the Deed of Constitution a Laws and Regulations submitted by the Directors, and adc he Laws and Regulations so altered as the Laws and liegul e s. d. 422 16 1 2605 4 11 176 14 9 16 7 3 7 0 0 14 10 6 14 2 1 319 13 9 £3576 9 4 lations of Cie Corporation of the Scottish Provident Institu Cons, WILLIAM J. DUNCAN, Manager of the National Bank of Scotland, seconded the Motion. The Motion having been put, and reference made to that part of Art. 7 of the Laws as proposed to be amended, which provides for forfeiture in case a member, "being of esnemind, shall commit suicide," it was suggested that, as it seemed to be considered very doubtful whether a person who did commit suicide could be, or would be held by a jury to be, of sound mind, it would be better to avoid any ground for question by doing away with the forfeiture altogether. The CHAIRMAN said that the clause, as put by the Commit tee who had prepared the amendments, stocd originally thus— "or shall, within six months from the date of the Policy, com mit suicide." This form met the views of a great majority of the Directors, but it had been altered as it now stood to secure unanimity, as there seemed really to be little practical differ ence between the two. The Meeting unanimously adopted this sugcestion, and resolved that the rule should stand thus —" or ball, within six months f rom th e d a t e o f th e P o li cy , CommTE suicide." Lded Laws and Regulation then read seriatim, and approved of motion adopted unaniumusly.

JAMES OSWALD, ESQ., OF AUCHINCRUIVI The TENTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the PROPRIETORS of the CITY of GLASGOW LIFE ASSUR ANCE and REVERSIONARY COMPANY was held in the Company's Office, Glasgow, on TUESDAY, the 27th March, in terms of the Act of Parliament by which the Company is con stituted: ANDREW STEPHENSON DALGLISH, Esq., in the Chair. The Annual Report of the Directors to the Proprietors was read by the Manager, detailing the business of the past year, up to 2:)th January, 1849, as well as the results of the Annual Bonus investigation of the Affairs of the Company at that date, by which Report it was most satisfactorily shown that the business of the Company continues to increase, the amount of New Assurances during the year having been fully one-third greater than in the preceding twelve months, whilst theamount of claims from death only exceeded, by a few hundred pounds, that of the preceding year, and were greatly under the average expectation of mortality provided for by the Company's Tables. Further, that the whole accumulated funds of the Company were invested on favourable terms. The Report congratulated the Shareholders on this state ment of the business for the past year, both as regards the in crease of Assurances and the smallness of the mortality; re sults so different from what might have been anticipated from the general depressed state of the country, and the great mor tality occasioned by cholera. On the other band, the Directors have to regret the large amount of surrendered Policies, oc casioned doubtlessly by the first named cause. The Report contained a recommendation by the Directors, in order still further to enhance the benefits of an Annual In vestigation and declaration of Bonus to the Assured, to allow them the option of either having the amount of each succes sively declared Annual Bonus added to their respective Policies, payable at death, or of receiving at once in Cash the surrender value thereof. Further, the Report announced the resolution of the Direc tors, adopted some time ago, to render it, by giving intimation, impossible that a Policy-holder shc u ld lose the surrender value of his Policy through ignorance of their being a Value attached thereto. The Directors conceive that the hardship of being obliged to give up a Policy through inability to pay the pre mium, or from any other cause, ought not in any case to be en hanced, from want of information by the holder, of his being entitled to the cash value of his Policy, merely by applying for it. The Report was unanimously adopted by the Meeting, and a Bonus Of ONE AND-A-HA LF PER CENT. for the year ending 20th January, 1849, was declared on all Policies entitled to partici pate in the urofits of the Company. The Meeting unanimously confirmed the appointment of Mr. Humphrey Ewing Crum, elected a Director ad interim, to sup ply a vacancy wbich occurred during the currency of the past year, and elected the following Gentlemen to be Directors of the Company, in place of Messrs.

Morley's Hotel, .Strand, 18th August, 1846. Sitt,—l have hitherto had a prejudice against having recourse to advertised medicines, but as I have for years been a severe sufferer from Lumbago, as well as Sciatica, and having tried several of the most eminent Physicians of London and Paris, I was induced by a friend to make a trial of your liquid, called " Seijeant's Lotion." I think it in gratitude due to you to say, in less than an hour from the time I applied the Lotion. I felt the most pleasant and indescribable relief. The immediate effect was to produce a short but tranquil and most refreshing slumber, from which I awoke to enjoy that w'aicn was, from its novelty, the greatest happiness—perfect quietude and freedom rom nam. The number of poor souls that suffer as I have is immense, and if the publication of this testimony can induce one to accept of the salvation you offer, I shall feel that I have not lived in vain.—With many thanks, I am yours, HENRI VILI.ENNEVE Well-street, Cripplegate. Stn,—l have been several weeks confined to my bed by Gout and Rheumatism, not a part from my head to my feet free from pain, and as helpless as an infant: not even a finger could I move. In this unpleasant situation I was informed by my me dical attendant he had applied all the usual remedies, and that I might remain months in my deplorable situation. Fortunately your remedy was made xnown to me, or I might have been to this day confined to my bed. After a close appli cation of four days, my troublesome companion began to dis appear; in a week I was capable of walking about my room, and by another week's perseverance in the use of your Medi cine was enabled to leave London. Fearful of another attack, you will please to send six bottles.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant,— D. W. STONE. Sold by Pendlebury, Russell•street ; Titherington, Oxford street; Hogarth, .
