Empowered by special Act of Parliament.

This Company was established in 18(4, for the purpose of
opening to the public an easy and unquestionably safe mode of
Investment, with a high and uniform rate of Interest.
The plan of the Bank of Deposit differs entirely from that of
ordinary Banks in the anode of employing capital —money depo,
sited with this Company being principally lent upon well•secured
Life Interests, Reversions in the Ow/eminent Funds, or other
property of ample value. This class of securities, although not
immediately convertible, it is well known yields the greatest
amount of profit combined with perfect safety. Further, Loans
made by the Company are collaterally secured by a Polley of
Assurance on the life of the Borrower, or his nominee, effected
at a rate of premium which insures the validity of the Policy
against every possible contingency.
Thus Depositors are effectually protec:ed against the possi-
bility of loss, whilst the large and constantly increasing revenue
arising from the premiums on Assurances thus eff.mted yields
ample profit to the Company, and provides for all the expenses
of management.
DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS may be opened with soma of any amount
and increased from time to time, at the convenience ofdeposi:ors.
A receipt, signed by two Directors, is given for each BUM
deposited.
RATE AND PAYMENT OF INTEREST.

The rate of Interest since the establishment of the Company
has never been less than five per cent. perannum ; and it is con.
fidently anticipated that the same careful and judicious selection
from securities of the description above mentioned will enable
the Board of Management to continue this rate to depositors.
The Interest is payable in January and July; on the amount
standing in the name of the depositor on the 30th of June and
31st of December, and for the convenience of parties residing at
a distance may be received at the Branch Offices, or remitted
through Country Bankers.
