THE CHISHOLM, Chairman.
CHARD lIARTLEY KENNEDY, Esq., Alderman, Deputy
Chairman.

This Society is established on the tried and approvedprintiple
of Mutual Assurance. 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 five annual pre-
miums.

The Annual General Meeting was held on the 28th May, 1868,
when a highly satisfactory Report of the state of the affairs and
progress of the institution was presented to the Members.
During the last three years upwards of 1,200 new assurances
have been effected, yielding an increase of premium income of
more than 20,0001, per annum ; and, although a general high
rate of mortality has prevailed among assured lives during the
last two years, it has not been deemed necessary to reduce, in
the slightest degree, the allowances previously awarded to the
policy-holders.

lhe Members present at the Meeting were fully satisfied with
the Report, and resolved unanimously that a reduction of 315
per cent. should be made in the current year's Premium payable
by all policy-holders now entitled to participate in the Profits.
Credit is allowed for half the Annual Premiums for the first
five years.
