ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.
The Star and Garter at Richmond has a world-wide cele-
brity. This is due not only to its s:tuation, which is unsur-
passed, but also to its high reputation for tavern and enter-
tainment purposes.
The current business has outgrown the proportions of the
present builaino.. and there is a great demand for increased
hotel accommodation in connection with the establishment.
The object of this Company is to meet this difficulty, and,
having purchased the hotel and L oodwill of the business, im-
prove and enlarge the present building.
The property will be conveyed to the ormpany as freehold,
and upon terms such as the l,irectors,withcompetent profes-
sional advice, believe to be mcderate. The furniture, stock-
in-trade, and wines, will be taken at a valuation.
In order to keep the present connection identified with the
house, arrangements have been made with Mr. George Ellis,
the present proprietor, to act as Managing Director of the
Company for a period of two years, if desired so to do. This
fact, a ded to the presence of N. r. Staples on the board, will
ensure more than ordinary attention to the details of prac-
tical management.
The proposed improvements ard additions—the construc-
tion of which will be so arranged as not to interfere for a
single day with the current business -will, it is estimated,
cost £60,000. The additions, which will consist ot additional
Wings, and be more especially designed for hotel purposes,
'With a distinct entrance, will be of a substantial character,
Vetthout needless decoration.
Starting as this company does with an hotel and business
already in existence, an immediate income will be forth-
coming-. The profits upon the current business are capable
of paying a fair dividend on the whole ot the proposed capi-
tal ; and it is not too much to ar ticipate that when the con-
templated additions and improvements have been made, the
profits will be such as to ensure the payment of large divi-
dends upon that capital.
Mr. Coleman, of the firm of Coleman, Turquand, Youngs,
and Co., has satisfied himself of the merits of the project,
and will act personally as the company's auditor.
As the profits of the current business will allow of the
payment of interest upon sums received from shareholders,
without entrenching upon capital, Interest at £5 per cent. per
annum will be allowed all calls from the day of payment.
The same rate of interest will be allowed on shares paid in
full.
No promotion money has been, or will be, paid.
The present proprietor has agreed to accept, in shares of
the Company, one-fourth part of his purchase-money, and
the greater part of the capital has already been otherwise
subscribed.

EXTRACfS FII.OII THE REPORT FOR THE YEAR
1862.
The Directors of the Royal Insurance Company are now
called up-in to make their accustomed periodical Report at the
Meeting, of its Shareholders.
FIRE BRA H.
The Directors have, as pleasingly NCas 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 again fully mbintained.
The the amount r profit of the business of the year exceeds considerably
sed in the pree,ed,ng year, and in tact sur-
passes that ot any year, with but two exceptions, sine- the
accoun
commence
ofme rit nt of thi.‘ Offigce, the balance to the credit on
t Bish and Foreign Insurances being X 45,107 10s.
5d., and of the North American business* whichis kept sepa•
rately, £11,007165. 10d.

The very grati LIFE BRANCH,
State the 811111 Eying duty nownew falls upon the Directors to
ured r)olicies for the year arrived
62
exceeds even that of the yesr 1861 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
few Years 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.
Evidence of continued care in the selection of lives is amply
aliorded by a statement of the number rejected. These have
amounted to 311 for the year, on which the aggregate sum
pr/posed for assurance amounts to X l 41,281. Various degrees
of ineligibility have led to these lives being declined.
No 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-
slide 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 of any other Company established either in
Lonebn or elsewhere, except when amalgamations have tken
place. The returns
of duty have proved this. In Life,a 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
Insuranca Company were never brighter, and of a consequent
hope, founded on a were
remembrance of the past, that
the future may unfold for it a sphere of still successge, combining distinguished commercial to the
i,,a,e
ue public.a lecgthened career of usefulness and protection
