rtTßAers FROM THE REPORT FOR THE YEAR
1862.
The Directors of the Royal Insurance Company are now
e_alle,d upon to make their accustomed periodical Report at the
meeting of its Shareholders.
FIRE BRANCH.
The Directors have, as picasinglv as unexpectedly, at the
close of the year, to announce, for file first time, that the Fire

Prem
i-Utits have not only reached, but exceed £ioo,ooo.
The high comparative position held by the Royal in the
Government Returns of Duty is agtin 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 Foreign Ensurances being £45,107 10s.
6(1., and of the North American business, which is kept sepa-
rately, £11,097165. 10d.

The LIFE BRANCH.
Eta yerY Vratifying duty now falls upon the Directora to
state the sum assured on new policies for fhe year 1882
exceeds even that of the yes r 1881 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
hag years it is believed that such a sum acsured as that which
IJust been announced as the result of one year's business
was all but unheard of.
his portion of the Company's business has been carefully
afehed and cannot fail to give much satisfaction to the
shareholder,iuti as well as no small encouragement for the
~,re to the participating life assurer.
_,Pridence of continued care in the selection of lives is amply
!Ilorded by a statement of the number rejected. These have
!Mounted to 311 for the year, on which the aggregate sum
proposed for assurance s mounts to £143,281. Various degrees
No have led to these lives being declined.
1.,`0 small number of the Assurance Companies of the day
al their accepted lives annually at a sum not much, if at
,
exceeding those which the Royal has declared as in adrais-
'le in a single year from deterioration of some kind or
another,
If
„ coete their review, the D now aert
br, vo
euY to the United Kingdom, they haveire tcotors announce tdvhat
k'
Fire Business its progress has been undoubtedly more
apid than that of any other Company established either in
Lend 3n or elsewhere, except when amalgamations have taken
ace. The returns of dirty have proved this. In Life, the
Mount of New Policies already reported make all other
"Idenee needless.
The Directors conclude their present Report with the
;.KPression of an opinion that the prospects of the Royal
Insurance Company were never brighter, and of a consequent
to 4, founded on a grateful remembrance of the past, that
'uture may unfold for it a sphere of still greater magni-
-6,e, combining distinguished commercial success to the
with a lengthened career of usefulness and protection
to the public.
