LIFE ASSURANCE;
REPORT of the SELEC f COMMITTEE of the HOUSE
of CO M ONS, 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 IN EFFECTING IN-
SURANCES upon their lives, are GENERALLY OF AN IMPORTANT AND
SOLEMN chsracte• viz., the PBOVISILN FOR WIDOWS AND ORPHANS
after the death of their NATURAL PROTECTORS; unlik • any ordinary
transaction of trade, a CONTRACT ONCE ENTAILED INTO CANNOT BE
DISCHARGED OR ABANDONED, If doubts of the stability of an
Mee should arise, WITHOUT A SACRIFICE OF PREMIUMS PAID IN
PAST Tam's, and the necessi y of effecting new policies 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-
RAPPY DILEMMA OF BEING COMPELLED TO PERSEVeRE IN PAYING
PREMIUMS FROM YEAR TO TEAR, with SOME s,ispicion and doubt as
to the ultimate advantage of doing -0, OR OF INCURRING THE SE-
ZIOUS LOSS WHICH UNDER THE MOST FAVOURABLE CIRCUMSTANCES,
DUST ATTEND THE ABANDONMENT OR SALt OF A POLICY."
On the DEPOSIT SYSTEM a person is NOT "COMPELLED" to pay

from ‘• MAE TO TEAR," and he does not, it desirous of " ABANDON-

It will be seen he increases from time to time, and occasionally
diminishes.

Thus AB, in 10 years, has saved and invested at different inter-
vals various sums amounting to 971., by which he had been insured
In case of death for 2601. 12s. 7d ; but A B requires 22/. ; h- draws
this sum out, and diminishes the value of his Policy by 601. Is. 3d.
at different times, leaving him in case of death a Policy for 2001.
4s. 4d., 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
of five children, instead of a ding it to an account then had at the
'Savings Bank. One of them died a few days after the 101. was de-
Posited, and the father received 341. 65., being the amount of the De-
Posit Policy.

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