LIVERPOOL ANI) LONDON FIRE AND
LIFE INSURANCE COI4IPANY.
At the ANNUAL 'MEET ING of the Proprietors in this
conapany, held on Thursday, 25th of Fetruary, 1863,
JAMES. ASPINALL TOBIN, Esq., in the Chair,
the Report of the Directors for the year 1862 was read ; it
showed:—
That the Fire Premiums of the year were £136,065 0 0
Against those in 1861, which were 360,131 0 0
Giving an increase in 1862 of That the new Life business comprised the £75,934 0 0
issue of 785 Policies, oOn which the annual premiums were 467,331 0
13,935 7 11
That there was added to the life reserve 79,277 11 4
That the balance of undivided profit was in-
creased
That the invested funds of the Company 23,725 9 7
amounted to
1,417,808 8 4
in ref erenc3 to the very large increase of £76,000 in the
Fire premiums of the year, it was remarked in the Report,
" The premiums paid to a company are the measure of that
company's busir.ess of all kinds ; the Directors, therefore,
prefer that test of progress to any the duty collected may
afford, as that applies to only a part of a company's business,
and a large share of that part may be, and often is, re-insured
with other offices. In this view the yearly addition to the
Fire premiums of the Liverpool and London Company must
be very gratifying to the proprietors."
