DIVISION OF PROFITS.
At the first Septennial Meeting of this Company, held on the llth
March last, a BONUS, averaging 23 per cent. on the amount of
premiums paid, was declared on Policies entitled to participate in
Profits.
Four•fifths, or SO per cent. of the entire Profits of the Company,
will at future divisions be appropriated to all Assurers entitled to
share therein.
Every advantage is •ffered by this Company to Assurers.

Parties Assured with the Company are allowed to reside in many

for the East or West Indies, and other extra risks, is more than
usually moderate.
By a plan originating with this Company, great security is offered
to parties Assuring the Lives of others.
Advances continue to be made to Assurers on Assignable Property
or Income, and also on the guarantee of most undoubted personal
sureties.

NOTICE TO HOLDERS OF POLICIES IN THE EQUITABLE
ASSURANCE COMPANY OF LONDON.
UNITED KIN GDOM LIFE 2 SSURANCE
COM PANY,
No. 8, WATERLOO-PLACE, PALL-MALL, LONDON.
The attention of Holders of Policies in the Equitable Assurance
Company of London, is particularly called to the Half-Credit Scales
of Premium of this Company, by which table the bonus to be de-
clared at the next investigation of the Equitable Assurance Company's
affairs, in January, 1850, may be secured at a present annual payment
of one half the rates generally charged by other companies. In the
event of death the sum insured will be paid, after deduction of the
other half of the rates. Should the life insured survive the decla-
ration of the bonus, the policy may be allowed to lapse, and the
Company will renounce all claim for the half premiums which may
be due thereon ; or. In the event of the party being at that time
In bad health, the policy can be kept up at the full premium of
the age as when first accepted. The above plan, originating with
this Company, was found peculiarly advantageous at the last division
of profits in the Equitable Assurance Company in 1840, when it
was largely adopted, and many of the policies then effected are
still in force, and large bonuses have been added to them on the
scale of the following table :
Sum Assured. Time Assured. Sum added to Policy.

N CHANCERY.—Between HENRY JOHN
A_ NICOLL and DONALD NICOLL, Plaintiffs, and FREDERICK
WALTER STE WART LACK, Defendant. In consideration of the
Plaintiffs consenting to stay further proceedings in this suit, which
has been instituted for the purpose of restraining me from selling an
overcoat under the name of THE REGISTERED PALETOT, which
garment they alone have the right to manufacture and sell, under
the provisions of the Copyright of Design Act,
I hereby express my unfeigned regret at having infringed the
right of the Plaintiffs to the use of such name, and do hereby
agree to pay them the costs of, and incidental to, the
proceedings taken by them to establish such right. And I
do hereby further agree, on demand, to make any affidavit
that may be required as to the purchase by me of the overcoats, so-
called the Registered Paletots, in order to assist the Plaintiffs in pro-
ceedings against the wholesale dealers of whom I purchased the
same ; and I further agree that the Plaintiffs shall be at liberty to
make such use of this memorandum as they may be advised.
