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._ r_

The following Is an extract from the Report of the Select Com-
mittee :

" IDE OBJECTS which persons HAVE IN VIEW IN EFFECTING IN-
SURANCES upon their lives, are GENERALLY OF AN IMPORTANT AND
SOLEMN character, viz.. the PROVISION FOR WIDOWS AND ORPHANS
after the death of their NA'S URAL PROTECTORS ; unlike' any ordinary
transaction of trade, a CONTRACT ONCE ENTERED INTO CANNOT BE
DISCHARGED OR. AB ANDONED, if doubts of the stability of an
office should arise. WITHOUT A SACRIFICE OF PREMIUMS PAID IN
PAST YEARS, and 'die necessi,y of effecting new policies in other
offices at increased rates of premium. owing to the greater age
of the assured ; persons are thus placed in the Astztors AND UN-
HAPPY DILEMY.A. OF BEING COMPELLED TO PERSEVERE IN PAYING
PREMIUMS FR',M YEAR TO YEAR, with SOME suspicion and doubt as
to the ultimate advantage of doing so, OR OF INCURRING THE SE.
ZIOUS LOSS. WHICH. UNDER THE MOST FAVOURABLE CIRCUMSTANCED,
lIUST ATTEND THE ABANDONMENT OR SALE OF A POLICY."

On the DEPOSIT SYSTEM a person is NOT " COMPELLED" to pay
from " YEAR TO YEAR," and he does not, if desirous of " ABOI4DON-
ENG" his Policy, incur any" azatous Loss," but, on the contrary, he
May pay such amounts, and at such times as he may find most con-
venient; he can atop paying whenever he pleases, and he can with-
draw the whole or part of his premiums. If the whole be with-
drawn the Policy is concealed ; if part only, then the value of the
Policy is diminished by the assured value of the part withdrawn.

Thus AB, in 10 years, has saved and invested at different inter-
vals various sums amounting to 97/., by which he had been insured
in case of death for 2604 12s. 7d. ; but A B requires 221.; he draws
this sum out, and diminishes the value of his Policy by 601. 85. 3d.
at different times, leaving him in case of death a Policy for 2001.
4s. ld., and during his life a fund of 751. to draw out at any time, in
part or wholly. •
The first claim settled by the Deposit and General Life Assurance
Company was upon a deposit of 101. which a parent made for each
.ef five children, instead of adding it to an account they had at the
'Saving's llank. One of them died a few days after the 101. was de-
Posited, and the father received 34/. 65., being the amount of the De-
Posit Policy.

EXAMPLE No. 2.

Supposing A B, aged 23, when he opens a Deposit Policy has the
means, and continues VOLUNTARILY to pay the same sum every year
in the same way as he Is COMPELLED to do in the ordinary system.
