called upon to make their accustomed periodical Report at the
Meeting of its Shareholders.
FIRE BRANCH.

The Directors have, as pleasingly as unexpectedly, at the
close o, 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 thi. Office, the balance to the credit on
account of British and Foreigm insurances being £45,107105.
5d., and of the North American business, whichis kept sepa-
rately, £11,097165. 10d.
