at the claims : th,,se arising in connexion with the oldest
militia; in the office: those that had been 10, 17, or DI
years In force. And he found the average age of the
persons assured under them to be M. which was A good
average, and although paid so long the bonuses of the
Conipany made the assurance still a good investment
