COUNTY FIRE OFFICE, REGENT-STREET.

AS the present unexampled rage 11,r New Insurance
companies occasions the public atier!ion to be engaged by
ss-e.,us at tr.x. ive immiises. it nisy not be improper to remind the
Erierds of the COUNTY Filth Offlt:E That have been its
I'er/or:mance..

The omit) Fire Office has now been established 'Tway& of
seven te. n years. during a ..ich time Sixteen Hundred Sufferers have
been inskinnitied, and only one claim has been brought into a
f law—namely. that of the Thortolls.
s igilaut and prudent management, the County Office grew
rich eu,'.llll the years which were favourable for Insurance,
Ilk:sine:4, and in this advantage, persona rho now insure par_'
ti: irate.

heturns to the amount of 42,0301. hare been paid to all persons
who have continued insured seven years, neon Annual as well
as upon Septennial Policies, and whether they hav: been Claim-
an:s losses or otherwise—an important advantage which no other
Insurarce Mica existing has afforded.
Since the establishment of the County Fire Office, no less than
Eldineen New Insurance Otliees hare broken up, besides many
which have been carried on as losing concerns.
fkie-al of these, which were anmmnced under high patronage,
and with the most c.iptivating pronnsea, have expired in total in- I
solvency. and left the disappednted claimants in truithess litigation
with their Trustees and ihrertors. It is not difficult to anticipate ;
what must be the fate of the numerous sew offices ihieli me now
reposed ;aid now that their funds are not improvable, at half
their forma rate of interest. are outbidding each other in extra-
vagant yremiises upon reduced mans.
Those oho arc aware of the confusion and misery which have re-
stilted from the numerous failures of Insurance Adventurers, and
the probability that such failures will won MT'? more extensively
than ever, will not hesitate to choose between realised benefits and
u r tried promises.
