" LIPS BRANCH.
"Turning nod to the Life Branch, It rerathisto be reported that
made
has been marked by unchecked success. This will he
by one or two statistical expositions.
'• Taking the four previous quinquennial periods, it is found
that the trek from 1845 to 1849 inclusive, commenced with a sum
aimed far—
Tear 18M of C23,349..and ended the perkid with a
total sum assured of Z 272,796

De. 18.50 .. 65,650.. do. do. 753,41:6
The Third, 1655-60
Do. 1655 .. 206,514.. do. do. 1,655,678
The Yourth, 166084
Do. 1060 .. 449,242 . do. do. 3,459.215
And now the first year of the fifth like period, viz., 1865, the
Company hes granted assurances for £886,663, nearly twice the
amount at the commencement of the last quinquennial period.
If, therefore, the result of the total five years, ending in the
year 1969, were to have a corresponding Increase with the pre
lions periods of fire years each, the amount of busbies that
would be effected in the quinquennial period now running would
be more than has ever been on record In any insurance establish-
me.nt in this country.
"The Directors have likewise to report that the Life funds
have increased by the sum of £103,146, the accumulated funds of
this department now amounting to £740,468. As an addition of
at least 4100,000 per annum to these accumulations during the
next ten years may now be fairly anticipated, it is within rea-
sonable expectation that during this period the Life funds will
approach nearly to 1:2,000,0e0 sterling.
" The Directors propose to the Proprietors that a dividend be
declared of 39. per share, and a bonus of is. per share, together
Ts. per share, free of income-tax.
Ills • matter of satisfaction to state that after withdrawing
the amount of this dividend and bonus from the profit and loss
account, a credit balance will still remain to that account of no
leas than 414,07 a in addition to the reserve fund, which. by
the augmentation of the year, now aches the sum of £110,913
