The following is an epitome of the Report:
" PERE BRANCH.
" The progress of the Company, as respeetsthe amount of busi-
ness effected, has been satisfactory. the returns of duty published
by parliament, on the motion of the Chairman of this Company,
earhibitlng by far the largest measure of imams which the Com-
pany las ewer axpriasseed.
, The Soda/ net amount ad The premium for the year, attar
Ahtineting gtesraaleas, 1.11. fatrig I.tcli.
. "Terming now to thaffeffranch.tt remidasto berupoeted that
wiz=has been mused by unchecked success. This will be
by one or two staMdcal expositions.
" Taking the four previous quinquennial periods, It Is round
,that the Oral, from 18i6 to 11149 inclusive, commenced with a sum
assured for—
Year 11145 of PASSt9.. and ended the period with a
total sum assured of 1112,796

The Second, 1860-54
De. 1850 MAO.. do. do. 732,408
The Third, 185566
Do. 1856 .. 206,614.. do. do. 1.666,678
The Yourth, 188064
Do. 18030 .. 449,242' do. do. 71,430,215
And now the first year of the fifth like period, viz., 1865, the
Company has granted assurances for 2686,668, nearly twice the
swing at the commencement of the last quinquennial period.
" lf, therefore, the remit of the total are yearn, ending in the
year 1309. were to have a corresponding increase with the pre-
vious periods of five years each, the amount of bnaineas that
would be effected in the quinquennial period now running would
be more than has ever been on record in ally insurance establish-
ment in this country.
"The Directors have likewise to report that the Life funds
have increased by the sum of 2103,146, the accumulated funds of
this department now amounting to 2740,458. As an addition of
at least 1:100,000 per annum to these accumulations during the
next ten year: may now be fairly anthapated. it is within tea-
amiable expectation that during this period the Life funds will
approach nearly to £2,060,0e0 sterling.
The Directors propose to the Proprietors that a dividend be
declared of 3s. per share, and a bonus of la per share, together
Ts. per share, free of Income-tar.
• It is a matter of satisfaction to state that after withdrawing
the amount of this dividend and bonus from the profit and Cosa
account, a credit balance will still remain to that account of no
lea than 262,070 9e. in addition to the reserve fund, which, by
the augmentation of the year, now reaches the sum of 2116,913
b. 19d."
