EXTRACTS FROM THE REPORT FOR THE YEAR

1862.

called Directors of the Royal Insurance Company are now
„_,,_UPon. to make their accustomed periodical Report at the
""-eg Ofits Shareholders.

FIRE BRANCH.
:rho Directors have, as pleasingly as unexpectedly, at the
ciese of the year, to announce, for the first time, that the Fire
Premiums have not only reached, but exceed £.100,000.
_The high comparative position held by the Royal in the
tievernment Returns of Duty is again fully maintained.
, The profit of the business of the year exceeds considerably
the amount realised in the precedlng year, and in fact sur-
Paeses 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 10e.
Id, and of the North American business, which is kept sepa-
rately, £11,097165. 10d.

• LIFE BRANCA-.
The very gratifying duty now falls upon the Directors to
state the sum assured on n-w policies for fhe year 1862
exceeds even that of the yesr 1861 by £lBO,OOO, and has arrived
at the almost unexampled amount for a single year of
£701,427 on 1,498 new policies issued. Until within the last
few Years it is believed that such a sum acsured as that which
has just been announced as the zesult of one year's business
Was all but unheard of.
This portion of the Company's business has been carefully
watched, and cannot fail to give much satisfaction to the
shareholder, as well as no small encouragement fbr the
future to the participating life assurer.
li3vidence of continued care in the selection of lives is amply
afforded by a statement of the number rejected. These have
amounted to 311 for the year, on which the aggregate sum
proposed for as suranee amounts to .C 143,281. Various degrees
of ineligibility have led to these lives being declined.
No small number of the Assurance Companies of the day
record their accepted lives annually at a sum not much, if at
all, exceeding those which the Royal has declared as ill adults-
sitile in a single year from deterioration .of some kind or
another.

If, to complete their revi'w, the Directors now advert
briefly to the United Kingdom, they have to announce that
in Fire Business fps progress has been undoubtedly more
rapid than that of any other Company established either in
Londaa or elsewhere, except when amalgamations have taken
Place. The returns of duty have proved this. In Life, the
amount of New Policies already reported make all other
evidence needless.
The Directors conclude their present Report with the
ppression of an opinion that the prospects of the Royal
Insurance Company were never brighter, and of a consequent
ho pe, bonded on a grateful remembrance of the past, that
the future may unfold for it a sphere of still greater maeni-
tude, combining distinguished commercial success to the
Office with a lengthened career of usefulness and protection
to the public.
