THE ROYAL INSURANCE COMPANY
has much satisfaction in announcing, to the public that
the effort which was made (so far as its nroprietors were
concerned) by only one individual bolding fifteen shares, to
rest-sin its recent iberality on occasion of the 'ate fearful
explosion at Liverpool, bas entirely and completely failed,
the Vice-Chancellor declaring that as the plaintiff did no
come in o cur for the benefit of the company the bill must
bf, dismis,ed with co-ts.
The course pursued by this office received in three days the
approval of propriet rs holding nearly 40,000 shares, irrespec-
tive cf upwards of 20,000 held lay the directors themselves—
makingA
a total of 60.0 out of Oil,Coo issued. It is, therefore,
evident, that the vast majority, it not almost all without ex-
ception, ot the holders of the remaining :14,C00 shares would
have signified a like acquiescenoe it time had afforded oppor-
tunity for the act.
The publ c may now, therefore, he assured of the cont
-lice of the same principle of liberality which has ever dis-
tinguished this eflice. supported as it is by the decision of the
Vice-Chancell-r, and backed by the prompt and cordial
acquit c nee cl its shareholders.
The Royal Insurance Company. thankfully acknow'edges
the generous assts arcs given in the shape of affidavits from
he representatives ce
of the Sun, Phnix, Royal .Exchange,
and Alliance, attesting their concurrence in the course taken
by the Royal in the ex gratis payment of the losses sus-
tained—these great companies having themselves acted in
the like liberal spirit.
