THE ROYAL INSURANCE COMPANY
has much satisfaction in announcing to the public that
the effort which was made (so faras its nroprietors were
concerned) by only one individual boß.ling fifteen shares, to
restrain its recent liberality on occas%on of the 'ate fearful
explosion at Liverpool, has entirely 'and completely failed,
the Vice-Chancellor declaring that a.s the plaintiff did no
come in o cur for the benefit of the ,Lonipany the bill must
be dismissed with co-ts.
this office received in three days the
The course pursued by
approval ot proprietors holding nearly 40,000 shares, irrespec-
tive cf upwards of 20,000 held by the
i directors themselves—
making a total cf 60,000 out of 04,600 issued. It is, therefore,
evident, that the vast majority, it not almost all without ex-
ception, of the holders of the remaining 34,C00 shares would
have signified a like acquiesce:.ce if tim, had afforded oppor-
tunity for the act.
The public may now, therefore, be assured of the continu-
-nee of the same primiple of liberality which has ever dis-
tinguished this office, supported as it is by the decis:on of the
Tice-Chancellr, and backed by the prompt and cordial
acquie c,_nce cf its shareholders.
The Royal Insurance Company thankfully acknowledges
the generous ass's, ance given in the shape of affidavits from
the representatives of the Sun, Phoenix, Royal Exchange,
and Alliance, attesting their concurrence in the course taken
by the Royal in the ex gratia, payment of the losses sus-
tained—these great companies having themselves toted in
the like liberal spirit.
