Meeting of the British Reversionary and
Investment Company,

The second annual general meeting of shareholders of the
British Reversionary and Investment Company (Limited)
took place at the offices of the company—Mr. George Ber-
mingham presiding.
The SECRETARY read the report, which stated that the
profit made during the year amounted to more than double
that of the preceding seventeen months, and recommended
that, after writing off all the bad debts, and making an ad-
dition to the reserve fund, a dividend at the rate of £lO per
cent. per annum, free of income tax, be declared, leaving a
surplus to be carried over.
The directors in their report also suggested the propriety
of increasing the share capital, which would enable them
largely to extend the operations of the company, and render
it one of the most successful of its kind. They therefore
recommended that the present shareholders bs offered one
share for every two they now hold, at par; one other share
for every two at £1 premium; and that 1,000 other shares
at £Z premium be offered either to the shareholders or to the
public.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving that the report be received
and adopted, said it afforded the directors the greatest satis-
faction in meeting their proprietary on the present occasion,
and congratulating them on the exceeding prosperity which
their company had attained during the two years of its
existence—a prosperity, with the moderate means at its
command, almost unequalled by any similar institution. It
was customary with many new institutions to declare divi-
dends out of capital, in order to attract the notice of the
public, but such a policy, he was happy to state, had been
entirely eschewed by the British Reversionary Company'
The dividend now recommended had been earned out of the
net profits of the year, and the various items in the balance
sheet clearly indicated the careful prudence the directors
had exercised in the management of their affairs. If
anything were to be deduced from an examination of their
accounts, he believed it was the fact that an increased capi-
tal would bring largely increased profits. and so self evident
did this proposition appear to the minds of the directors,
that, after long and anxious deliberation, they had resolved
to recommend it to the consideration of the shareholders.
With the employment of additional means, and without any
augmentation of expenses, there was little reason to doubt
that a still larger dividend might be declared next year, and
even now a larger distribution conld have been made, had
the directors not been mindful of discharging all liabilities
and making provision for a reserve fund.
Mr. G. F. ANDERSON seconded the resolution, which was
unanimously carried.
It was moved, seconded, and carried unanimously, that a
dividend of £lO per cent. per annum, free of income tax, be
declared, payable forthwith.
A resolution was also passed authorising the directors to
issue the shares as recommended in the report.
The sum of 200 guineas was voted for the remuneration
of the board.
The re-election of the retiring directors, Messrs. Clench,
Chatteris, ana Fairlie, and of Mr, Hodges as auditor, was
also agreed to.
The CHAIRMAN remarked that before the meeting sepa-
rated he was desirous that it should testify its appreciation
of the services rendered by the Secretary, Mr. whim,.
That gentleman had so well and zealously discharged his
duties, had exhibited such energy, and had brought his
labours to so highly a successful result, that he deserved
not only tho thanks of the directors, but also of the body of
shareholders, whose interests he had so efficiently served.
Col. HAMMILL seconded the motion, which was carried
nein con.

The SECRETARY returned thanks, and said it was grati-
fying to him to hear the complimentary remarks of the
chairman respecting the manner in which he had performed
his duties. It was pleasing to him to know that his labours
had not only been appreciateoi, but had also been success-
ful ; he trusted that in years to come he should occupy the
same position and continue to deserve their good opinion,
and if anything were needed to produce an additional in-
centive to his efforts it would be the vote of confidence just
passed.

Mr, H. CHATTER'S moved that a vote of:thanks be ac-
corded to the Chairman for the impartial and able manner
in which he had that day, as well as upon all other occa-
sions, presided over their meetings,
The motion was carried by acclamation, and the Chair-
man baying returnee. thanks, the meeting separated,
