CLERICAL AND MEDICAL LIFE ASSURANCE SO-
CIETY.—An extraordinary general meeting of the proprietors
and the assured was held yesterday at the Company's Offices
Great Russell-street. Joseph Moore, Esq., M.D., chairman
of the board of directors, presided. During the five years,
ending 30th of June, 1846, the assets
leavingamou a
amounted to 639,7971.
6s. 5d., and the liabilities to 484,5501., surplus of
155,242/. 65., while in 1841 the corresponding surplus was
only 59,0001. In conformity with the provisions of the deed,
one-half of the profits is to be divided among the assured for
life,.and one-sixth part among the proprietors; but in order
to avoid inconvenient fractions the directors recommend the
division of 154,500/. This apportioned to the assured for life
77,3501., and to the proprietors 25,750/., leaving one-third of
the entire profit, amounting to 51,5001., to be laid by and to
accumulate as a reserved fund. The proprietors received a
bonus of 51. 3s. per share, and the assured had added to their
policies a sum of 114,031/., being the equivalent in reversion
to 77,500/9 payable at the death of the respective parties, and
forming an addition equal on an average to more than 36 per
cent. on the premiums received during the last five years.
Mr. Lydeker, Mr. Fielder, Mr. Streeter, and other gentlemen
congratulated the proprietary on the gratifying nature of the
report. The next subject considered was the amendment of
some of the regulations and provisions of the society relating
to the investment of their funds. The directors were em-
powered to make loans to incorporated railway companies in
Great Britain and Irelend authorised by Act of Parliament to
borrow on mortgage or bond. It was also &Tided that nine-
tenths of the amount, instead of two-thirds, might be ad-
vanced to parties assured on the szcurity of their policies. A
sum of 1,4001. and an annuity of 2001. were voted to the
widow of the late secretary. Thanks having been voted to
the chairman, the meeting separated.
