That underwriting, in partnership firms, although rendered

diminishing the security of insurance contracts, and which, if prac-
tisel in Lloyd's, may ultimately affect the respectability and cha-
racter of that establishment, ant endanger the system of individual
tnderwriting. It is, therefore, the opinion of this 'tinting, that
the most effeeturd measures ought to be adopted by means of a new
by,law M, to discourage such practice within these rooms.
