EXT
-RAC'S FROM THE REPORT FOR THE YEAR
1862.
called
Directors of the Royal Insurance Company are now
Atccert upon to make their accustomed periodical Report at the
Lug of its Shareholders.
FIRE Di:AN-cu.
;lire Directors have, as p,easingly as unexpectedly, at the
'"e 01 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 ag,in fully maintained.
The profit of the business of the year exceeds considerably,
,the amount realised in the precedong year, and in tact sur-
passes that of any year, With but two exceptions, sine- the
commencement of this Office, the balance to the credit on
count of British and Foreign Insurances being £45,10/
k-
"u., and of the North American business, which is kept sepas
l'atelye £11,097 16s. I Od.
LIFE BRANCH'.
The very gratifying duty now falls upon the Directors to
state the sum assured on la, w policies for fhe year ltz6."!
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
f,ew years it is believed that such a sum assured as that which
'all 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 carefully
Watched, and cannot fail to give much satisfact,on to the
shareholder, as well as no small encouragement for the
futare 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 assuranse "mounts to £'48,281; 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 inadmis-
sitle 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 its progress has been undoubtedly more
rapid than that of any other Company established either in
Loud mt 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
expression of an opinion that the prospects of the Royal
Insurancs Company were never brizhter, 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 ma2ni-
tude, combining distinguished commercial success to the
Office with a lengthened career of usefulness and protection
to the public.
