The Directors have entered into a provisional agreement
with Mr. Chater, which g yes them tee option of purchasing;
the Freehold (within three years), or leasing- the property at
a fair rental.
The stock in trade. good will, wines, plate, furniture, fit-
tings, &c., are estimated at £30,000, and the present Proprie-
tor guarantees n minimum dividend of 10 per cent. on that
amount for Varee years.
'these estimates have been verified as to the furniture and
plant by ?,fr. Daniel Cronin ; as to the wines and spirits, by
Mr. R. C. Wilson, of 37, Drury-lane ; as to the Ire hold, by
Mr. l'ebenham. of the firm of Debenham and Tewson, 80,
Cheripside ; and a report has been made on the profits of the
business by Mr. Henry Honey, of the firm of Honey and

The t-ampany to take possession on the let October next,
and the profits will accrue as from that date. The option of
purchasing- the freehold of constantly increasing va ue, and a

EXTRACTS FROM THE REPORT FOR THE YEAR

1862.

The Directors of the Royal Insurance Company are now
smiled upon to make their accustomed periodical Report at the
Ydeeting of its Shareholders.

FIRE BRANCH.
The Directors have, as pleasingly 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 aglin fully maintained.
The profit of the business of the year exceeds considerably
the amount realised in the preced.ng year, and in fact sur-
passes that of any rear, with but two exceptions, sinc-t the
commencement of thi-i Office, the balance to the credit on
account of British and Foreign Insurances being £45,101 10s.
fid., and of rite North American business, which is kept sepa-
rately, £11,007 16s. 10d.
