a tion with respect to the losses sustained by the explo-
In of th Lotty Sleigh, which although on y con latent with

Poens that the largest Profit which it has ever 'alien to the

LIFE BRANCH.
peepsogress of the Life Branch, as shown by the New
nstransacted in tke last year, is most promising, and advances made, year by year, in the amount of New In-

rhis rapid growth, amounting to 73 per cent. on the Sum
sured, and upwards of 80 per cent. on the Premium re-
ved in the course of five years, may justly be considered as
'ger then any which could have been reasonably excected.

ratio of increase indicated by the figures just quoted, as
BUM assured for that period of six months only actually
needs Half-a-Mil ion sterling.
the rate of mortality, likewise, still presents highly favour-
le features, and augurs well for the result to be shown by
B quinquennial investigation, which is to take place when
