ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.
The Star and Garter at Richmond has a world-wide cele-
brity. This is due not only to its situation, which is unsur-
passed, but also to its high reputation for tavern and enter-
tainment purposes.
The current business has outgrown the proportions of the
present building. and there is a great demand for increased
hotel accommodation in connection with the establishment.
The object of this Company is to meet this difficulty, and,
having purchased the hotel and ?oodwill of the business, im-
prove and enlarge the present building.
The property will be conveyed to the i'empany as freehold,
slid upon terms such as the Directors, with competent profes-
sional advice, believe to be moderate. The furniture, stock-
-In-trade,n-trade, and wines, will be taken at a valuation.
In order to keep the present connection identified with the
house, arrangements have been made with Mr. George Ellis,
the present proprietor, to act as Managing Director of the
Company for a period of two years, if desired so to do. This
fact, aided to the presence of Mr. Staples on the board, will
ensure more than ordinary attention to the details of prac-
tical management.
The proposed improvements and additions—the construe-
/lon of which will be so arranged as not to interfere for a
single day with the current business -will, it is estimated,
cost £60,000. The additions, which will consist ot additional
wings, and be more especially designed for hotel purposes,
with a distinct entrance, will be of a substantial character,
'Without needless decoration.
Starting as this company does with an hotel and business
already in existence, an immediate income will be forth-
Coming. The profits upon the current business are capable
of paying a fair dividend on the whole ot the proposed capi-
tal ; and it is not too much to anticipate that when the con-
teisplated additions and improvements have been made, the
profits will be such as to ensure the payment of large divi-
dends upon that capital.
Mr. Coleman, of the firm of Coleman, Turquand, Youngs,
and Co., has satisfied himself of the merits of the project,
and will act personally as the company's auditor.
As the profits of the current business will allow of the
payment of interest upon sums received from shareholders,
without entrenching upon capital, Interest at £5 per cent. per
an, um will be allowed all calls from the day of payment.
The same rate of interest will be allowed on shares paid in
full.

No promotion money has been, or will be, paid.
The present proprietor has agreed to accept, in shares of
the Company, one-fourth part of his purchase-money, and
the greater part of the capital has already been otherwise
su,,scribed.
Applications for the remaining shares to be made in the
Norm annexed to the prospectus, with tne deposit of Lt per
share, to the Bankers, Me: srs. Ransom, Bouverie, and Co.,
No. 1, Pail-mall East, or Messrs. Robsrts, Lubbock, and
Co., 15, Lombard-str-et.
Prospectuses may be obtained a' the offices of the Broker,
2. Bank Chambers, Lothbury, E.C.; at the offices of the
Company, 17, Great George-street, Wstminster, S.W. (cor-
er of Parliament-street ; and at the Star and Garter, at
Richmond.
The liability of each shareholder will be limited to the
amount of his subscription.
If no allotment be made the deposit will be returned in full.

EXTRA.C2S FRO3I THE REPORT FOR THE YEAR
1882.
The Directors of the 'Royal Insurance Company are now
railed upon to make their accustomed periodical Report at the
Meeting of its Shareholders.
RANCH.
The Directors have, asFIRE pleaßsingly 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 thi4 Office, the balance to the credit on
account of British and Foreign Insurances being £45,107105.
5d., and of the North American business, which is kept sepa-
rately, £11,097 Us. 10d.

Th
the e ve LIFE BRANCA.
statery gratifying duty now falls upon the Directors to
s um assured on new policies for the year 1862
exceeds even that of the year 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 result of one year's business
was all but unheard of.
This portion of the Company's business has been carefull
watched, and cannot fail to give much satisfaction to they Shareholder, as well as no small encouragement for the
future to the participating life assurer.
Evidence 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 assuran?e amounts to £143,28 I. 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
sible
all, exceeding those which the Royal has declared as inadmis-
in
another. from deterioration single year fro deterioration of some kind or
If, to complete their review, the Directors now advert
briefly to the United Kingdom, they have to announce that
in Fire Business its progress has been undoubtedly more
rapid than that of any other Company established either in
Lond.in or elsewhere, except when amalgamations have taken
place. The returns ot 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, founded on a grateful remembrance of the past, that
the future may unfold for it a sphere of still greater magni-
tude, combiniag distinguished commercial success to the
Office with a lebgthened career of usefulness and protection
to the public.
