LIFE ASSURANCE;
REPORT of the SELECT COMMITTEE of the 110U51,%
of COMMONS, and the DEPOSIT SYSTEM—the New and
Important Feature of Life Assurance adopted by The DEPOSIr
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 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 NAt URAL PROTECTORS; nnlilur any ordinary
transaction of trad,r, R CONTRACT ONCE ENTERED INTO CANNOT BE
EnsciteßGED OR ABANDONED, if doubts of the stability of an
Wilco should arise, WITHOUT A SACRIFICE
_OF PREMIUMS PAID IN
?An YEARS, and the necessity 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 ANXIOUS AND UN-
IiAPPT 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 person is NOT " COMPELLED" to pay
front " 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 times as 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 be 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Policy is diminished by the assured value of the part withdrawn.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 51., which
it will be seen he increases from time to time, and occasionally
diminishes.

The first claim settled by the Deposit and General Life Assurance
Company was upon a deposit of 101. which a parent made for each
of five children, instead of aiding it to an account they had at the
Bavines Bank. One of them died a few days after the 101. was de-
Posited, end the father received 341. 65., being the amount of the De-
posit Polley.
