EXTRACTS FROM THE REPORT FOR THE YEAR
1862.
The Directors of the Royal Insurance rompany are now
called upon to make their accustomed periodical Report at the
Jkleeting- of its Shareholders.
FIRE BRANCH.
The Directors hay?, as pleasingly as unexpectedly, at the
close o the year, to announce, fo,- 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 arr,in fully mdnta ned.
The profit of the business of the year exceeds considerably
the amount realised in the preced ng year, and in fast sur-
passes that of any vear, with but two exceptions, sine •
the
conanaencement of tht, B Office, the balance t, the credit Ott

Directors to
The very gratifying duty now falls upon the
state the sum assure on n \V policies for The yseaar 1
arrived
exceeds even that of the year 1861 by
year of
at the almost unexampled amount for a
single
he
last
XlBO,OOO, and has
£701.127 on 1,4 9S new Policies issued. Until within
few years it is believed that such a sum a, cured as that which
has just be en announced as the result 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 e
shareholder, as well as no s mall en couragement for th
fut. re to the participating life
assurrr.
Evidence of continued care in the selection of lives is amply
afforded by a statement of th. number rejected. These have
amounted to tit for the year, on which the an
eTeg-ate s,,m
proposed for assuran'e -mounts to £ 43,28 i. Various degrees
of ineligibility have led to these lives being declined.
No small number of the Assurance t ompanies of the day
record their accepted lives annually at a sum not much, if at
all, exceeding those which the Royal has declared as inadmis-
sirle in a single year from deterioration of some kind or
another.
If, to complete their review, the Directors now advert
briefly to the United Kingdom, they have to announce that
in Fire Business Ps progress has been undoubted ly more
rardd than that of any other Company established either in
Lonebn or elsewhere, except when amalg-amations have taken
place. The returns co 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
expression of an opinion that the prospects of the Royal
Insurance Company were never brighter, and of a consequent
hope, to,nded on a grateful remembrance of the past, that
the future may unfold for it a sphere of still greater ma.ri-
lode, comhiniag distinguished commercial success to the
Office with a le, gthened career of usefulness and protection
to the pubic.
