LIFE BRANCH.

The progress of the Life Branch, as shown by the New
Business transacted in the last year, is most promising, and
the advances made, year by year, in the amount of New In-
surances effected, sh ,w clearly the estimation in which the
Company is held. The following is a statement for the last
five years :

Net Sum Assured on New Policies
after deducting Guarantees.

Net Premiums.

1859
1860
1861
1862
1863 .. 752,516 18 10
This rapid growth, amounting to 73 per cent. on the Sum
Assured, and upwards of 80 per cent. on the Premium re-
ceived in the course of five years, may justly be considered as
larger than any which could have been reasonably expected.
The first half of the current year 1861, however, far Gash ips
the ratio of increase indicated by the figures ju.t quoted, as
the sum assured for that period of six months only actually
exceeds Half-a-Mil ion sterling.
The rate of Mortality, likewise, still presents highly favour-
able features, and augurs well for the result to be shown by
the quinquennial investigation, which is to take place when
the present year is conclud-d.
