EXTRACTS FROM THE REPORT FOR THE YEAR

1862.
The Directors of the Royal Insurance Company are now
e‘railed upon to make their accustomed periodical Report at the
ef Aing of its Shareholders.
The Directors have, R4FIRE
p easinBRANCH crly as unexpectedly, at the
,
o the year to announce, ft.. the first time, that the Fire
-rTnlums have not only reached, but exceed £300,000.
The high comparative poqition held IT the Royal in the
`,2,vernment Returns of Duty is ag'in fully m,intamed.
thl;, he profit of the business of the year exceeds considerably
amount realised in the preced fig year, and in fat sur-
W"es that of any year, with but two exceptions, sine, the
Hil.eilcement of thi Office, the balance t, the credit on
Ziconnt of British and Forei,n insurances being £45,101 10s.
r and f the North American btudness, which is kept sepa.
al'elY, £11,097165. 10d.

The LIFE BRANCH.
verY Zratifying duty now falls upon the Directors to
tst_ate the SUM assured on n ,w policies for fbe year 1862
c4;_eds even that of the yesrlB6l by £189,000, and has arrived
4.7o(ine almost unexampled amount for a single year of
fA 427 on 1,498 new policies issued. Until within the last
hap just bi en announced h
asat the iesult of. one year's business
R%%ail but unheard of.
°is Portion of the Company's business has been carefully
14haatr,Iled, and canno', fail to give much satisfaction to the
tut, "Icier, as well as no small encouragement for the
re to the participating life assurer.
Pvicience of continued care in the selection of lives is amply
-aordNi by a statement of the number rejected. Thee have
amounted to 311 for the year, on which the aggregate sum
h
~,Posted for aFsuranne mounts to 43,28% Various degrees
ineligibility have led to these lives being declined.
I\T° small number of the Assurance Companies of the day
?"cordai their accepted lives annually at a sum not much, if at
exceedin those which the Royal has declared as in admis-
. ie in a single year from deterioration of some kind cr
b f. to complete th,ir review, the Directors now advert
hiricf,,lv to the United Kingdom, they have to announce that
r- -in ire Business s progress has been undoubtedly more
than that of any other Compsnv established either in
'`-',lund.m or elsewhere, except when amalgamations have taken
ace. The returns of duty have proved this. In Life, the
amount of New Policies already reported make all other
",,fence needless.
he Directors conclude their present Report with the
txpression of an opinion that the prospects of the Royal
nsuranc4 company were never brighter, and of a consequent
to
nded on a grateful remembrance of the past, that
1142 future may untold for it a sphere of still greater mayni-
comhiniag distinguished commercial success to the
tointWetvpiaTlele gthened career of usefulness and protection
