SHORT SUMMARY OF THE POSITION
OF THE

PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY,
62, Ludgato Hill, London, E.C.

Branch Office-7, King-street, St. James's.
The Annual Premium Income of the Company, at the
close of Iti6B, was £220,978 05.10 d., and the Total Amount
Assured £1,832,197.
The Business is divided under two heads:-
Ist—The General or Ordinary Business, being tho
same as that transacted by other Companies.
2nd —The Industrial or Working Class Assurancesi
The Premium Income of the General
Business was £52,432, and the sum A ssu red
£1,662,960. The present value of the lia-
bility of this Branch by the Carlisle 3 per
Cont. Tables, throwing off the entire load-
ing, was.. £130,322 15 8
The Premium income of the Industrial
Branch was 168,546, the sum Assured
£3,169,237, and the Estimated Reserve 50,000 0 0

£lB 322 15 8

The Liability of the Industrial Branch
does tot admit of being estimated in the
same way as that of the General Branch,
on account of the very large proportion of
Policies which constantly lapse, so that
the bulk of the assurances are, in fact, risks
for short terms only ; the estimated re-
serve for the liabilities of this Branch of
the business is shown by the result of 11
years' experience to be abundantly suffi-
cient.

The Assurance Fund on 31st Decetn-
ber, 1868, was £241,301 12 4
The average duration of the whole of
Industrialrho Policies was considerably
under three years.

EAST LONDON HOSPITAL for CHILDREN
The Committee earnestly desire to raise funds which
shall enable them to establish the Hospital in more suit-
able buildings. The premises now occupied are crowded
and inconvenient, causing additional expense from that
circumstance. It is impossible even to purchase on whole-
sale terms many articles of daily consumption from want
of room for stowage, every inch of available space being
occupied. There is a daily demand for more beds, and the
staff of nurses would be able to attend upon more children,
but no more can be admitted 'n the present building.
0,000 at least is required to can y out this much-wished-
for and urgent scheme
