PROSPECTUS.

This Company has been formed to take over the busi-
ness of the Accidental Death Insurance Company—the
existing constitution and capital of which are now found
to be inconvenient and inadequate to its recently largely
extended operations.
That Company (empoweredbyspfez c. 2

ment, 15 Vic., c. 56, and 22 and 23 v
in 1849, with a nominal capital of £250,000, in 50,000
shares of £5 each, of which 20,000 have been issued. The
following statement, embracing the amount of Premiums
since the commencement of the Company, shows the pro-
gressive and steadily increasing nature of its operations:—
THE ACCIDENTAL BRANCH.

The Income of this Branch for last year was £49,489
19s. 10d.
The Claims in respect of the above Premiums have not
exceeded 60 per cent.
The business of the Company has been to provide any
amount at death, from accidental causes, from £5O to £2OOO,
or any amount of weekly provision during complete dis-
ablement, from 10s. to £2O per week, or to provide a sum
at death and weekly compensation together, at arranged
rates of premium. The advantages to the community of
this system of insurance must be apparent, and the figures
above manifest the manner in which they have been ap-
preciated by the public. Tho capital of the Accidental
Death Insurance Company has hitherto compelled the Di-
rectors to limit the sums insured, thus confining the ad-
vantages of insuring to a certain class. With the larger
capital and influence of the proposed Corporation, in-
surances may be granted to an extent which it is believed
will attract large numbers of the higher and more wealthy
classes.
The Accidental Death Company commenced under-
writing in 1862, but the successful development of opera-
tions in Marine Insurance has been retarded by the inap-
propriateness of the name for a Marine Company. With,
however, a change of title and constitution, and an ade-
quacy of capital, the Company will without doubt obtain
that support 'to which it is fairly entitled.
The accounts of the recently formed Marine Insurance
Companies, which have exhibited good dividends and
shown prospects of great value, leave no doubt on the
minds of the Directors that at any rate equal success will
attend the efforts of the Corporation in this direction. The
services of a gentleman of experience have been secured as
Underwriter.
The extensive machinery of agents (of which there are
between 4,000 and 5,000) is in full work, and is of great
tvhaalutei—s Adneired,ed thoeserre a ctorsconfidently believe that all
rapid increase in the existing
business is a proper adaptation of modern requirements as
