„Zile Directors of the Royal Insurance Company are now

Shareholders.

The Directors have, as pleasingly as unexpectedly. at the
free oi the year, to anounce, for. tote Brat time, that the Fire
remiunts have not only reached, but exceed £.300,000.

ate he almost unexampled amount for a single year of

-'evir years it is believed that such a sum assud as that which
'as inat been announced as the result of onere year's business
Was all but unheard of.
This portion of the Company's business lies been carefully
watched and cannot fail to give mocha satisfaction to the
shareholder, as well as 00 small encouragement for the
lliture to the participating, life assurt r.
Evidence of continued care in the selection of lives is amply
:Worded by a statement of the number rejected. These.have
amounted to 31i for the year, on which the aggregate sum
mounts to 113.281.
