EXTRACTS FROM THE REPORT FOR THE YEAR
1862.
__ _ _

'rile Directors of the Royal Insurance Company are now
called upon to make their accustomed periodical Report at the
Meeting of its Shareholders.

FIRE BRANCH.
The Directors have. as pieasin,gly 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 ag:iinlully mhintamed.
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, sine, the
commencement of thi., Office, the balance to the credit on
account of British and Forekru Insurances being £45,107 10s.
5d., and of the North American business, which is kept sepa-
rately, £11,097105. 30d.

LIFE BRANCH.
The very gratifying duty now falls upon the Directors to
state the sum assured on now policies for fhe year 1562
exceeds even that of the ye+ir 1861 by £lBO,OOO, and has arrived
at the almost unexampled amount for a single year of
£701427 on 1,408 new policies itisued. Until within the last
few years it is believed that such a sum acsured as that which
has
.111 St 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 satisfaction to the
shareholder, as well as no small encouragement for the
lutire 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 "mounts to £ 43,281. Various degrees
of ineligibility have led to these lives being declined.
;N _ o 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-
slrile in a single year from deterioration of some kind or
another.
Iff, to complete their review, the Directors now advert
eay to the United Kingdom, they have to announce that
j"
fire
Business its progress has been undoubtedly more
Ii!old than that of any other Company established either in
ro"dan 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
Insurancil 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-
t,u„,de, combining distinomished commercial success to the
"'nee with a leugthened career of usefulness and protection
to the public.
