Directors.
THE CHISIIOLM, Chairman.

RICHARD HARTLEY KENNEDY, Esq., Alderman, Deputy

Chairman.
This Society is established on the tried and approved principle
of Mutual Assurairee. The funds are accumulated for the exclu-
sive 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
80th May, 1855, when a Report of the business for the last year
was presented, exhibiting a statement of most satisfactory pro-
gress. It appeared that during the two last years, 1853 and
1851, between 800 and 900 new Assurances had been effected,
producing an increase of premium income amounting to 14,0001.
per annum. It also appeared that, notwithstanding the extraor-
dinary mortality which prevailed during the last year In conse-
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
live yeszs.
