EXTRACTS FROM THE. REPORT FOR TIIE YEAR

- - 1862.
The Directors of the Royal Insurance Company are now
called upon to make their accustomed periodical Report at the
Meeting of its Shareholders.
FIRE BRANCH.
The Directors have, as pleasingly as unexpectedly, at the
close of the year, to announce, for the first time, that the Fire
Premiums have not only reached, but exceed £300,000.
The high comparative position held by the Royal in the
Government Returns of Duty is again fully maintained.
The profit of the business of the year exceeds considerably
the amount realised in the preceding year, and in fact sur-
passes that of any year. with but two exceptions, since the
commencement of this Office, the balance to the credit on
account of British and Foreign Insurances being £45,107 108.
5d., and id* the North American business, which is kept sepa-
rately, £11,007 16s. 10d.
