LIFE ASSURANCE;
REPORT of the SELECT COMMITTEE of the HOUSE
Of COMMONS, and the DEPOSIT SYSTEM—the New and
Important Feature of Life Assurance adopted by The DEPOSIT
and GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY.
The following is an extract from the Report of the Select Com-
mittee : -
" THE OBJECTS which persons HAVE IN VIEW irt EFFECTING IN-
SURANCES upon their lives, are GENERALLY OF AN IMPORTANT AND
SOLEMN Charade-, viz., the PROVISION FOR WIDOWS AND ORPHANS
after the death of their NATURAL PROTECTORS ; unlik , any ordinary
transaction of trade, a CONTRACT ONCE ENTERED INTO CANNOT BE
DISCHARGED OR ABANDONED, if doubts of the stability of an
Office should arise, WITHOUT A SACRIFICE OF PREMIUMS PAID IN
?an YEARS, and the necessi'y of effecting new policits in other
offices at increased rates of premium, owing t, the greater age
of the assured ; persons are thus placed in the ANXIOUS AND UN-
HAPPY DILEMMA OF BEING COMPELLED TO PERSEVeRE IN PAYING
PREMIUMS FROM YEAR TO YEAR, with SOME suspicion and doubt as
to the ultimate advantage of doing so, OR OF INCURRING THE SE-
RIOUS LOSS WHICH UNDER THE MOST FAVOURABLE CIRCUMSTANCES,
MUST ATTEND THE ABANDONMENT OR SALE OF A POLICY."
On the DEPOSIT SYSTEM a per.On iS NOT " COMPELLED" to pay
from 4 TEAR TO YEAR." and he does not, if desirous of " ABANDON-
ING" his Policy, incur any SERIOUS LOSS," but, on the contrary, he
may pay such amounts, and at such iimes -s he may find most con-
venient ; he can stop paying whenever he pleases, and he can with-
draw the whole or part of his premiums. If the whole he with-
drawn the Policy is cancelled; if part only, then the value of the
Policy is diminished by the assured value of the part withdrawn.
A B, aged 20, opens a deposit policy with a payment of 5/ , which
.t will be seen he increases from time to time, and occasionally
diminishes.

this sum out, and diminishes the value of his Policy by 60/. Ss. 3d.

Part or wholly.
The first claim settled by the Deposit and General Life Assurance
Company was upon a deposit of 10/. which a parent made for each
of five children, instead of a 'ding it to an account they had at the
Savings Bank. One of them died a few days after the 10/. was de-
Posited, and the father received 34/. 65., being the amount of the De-
posit Policy.
