EXTRACTS FROM THE REPORT FOR THE YEAR
1862.
The Directors of the Royal Insurance Company are now
called upon to make their accustomed periodical Report at the
]Meeting of Its Shareholders.
FIE RANCH.
The Directors have, as R
pleßasingly 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 positiohd by the Royal in the
Governraent Returns of Duty is agslu fully maintained.
The profit of the business of the year exceeds considerably
the amount realised in the precechng year, and in fact sur-
passes that of any Year, with but two exceptions, since the
commencement of this Office, the balance to the credit on
account of British and Forelem Insurances being £45,107 10s.
6d., and of the North American business, which is kept sepa-
rately, £11,097 16s. 10d.

LIFE BRANCH'.
The very gratifying duty now falls upon the Directors to
state the sum assured on now policies for the year 1862
exceeds even that of the yes r 1861 by ZlBO,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
few :rears it is believed that such a sum assured as that which
has just 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
future to the participating life assurer.
afforded by of continued care in the selection of lives is amply
a statement of the number rejected. These have
amounted to 311 for the year, on which the aggregate sum
proposed for assurance amounts to X 143,281. Various degrees
of ineligibility have led to these lives being declined.
Companies
No small number of the Assurance
of the day
record their
accepted liyes annual) a
yat sum not
tmuch, if at
all, exceeding those which the Royal has declared es inadmis-
stole in a single Year from deterioration of some kind or
another.
If, to complete their review, the Directors now advert
briefly to the United Kingdom, they have to announce that
in Fire Business its progress has been undoubtedly more
rapid than that of any other Company established either in
Londsn or elsewhere, except when amalgamations have taken
place. The returns of duty have prepsroed this. In Life, the
amount of New Policies already prted make all other
evidence needless.
The Directors conclude their present Report with the
expression of an opinion that the prospects of the Royal
Insurance Company were never brizhter, and of a consequenta
hope, founded on a grateful remembrance of the past,
..
the future may unfold for it a sphere of still greater mss.n 1
tude, combining distinguished commercial success to the
Office with a lengthened career of usefulness and protection
to the public.
