£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 const •ntly lapse, so that
the bulk of the assurances are, in fact, risks
for short terms only ; the estimated re-
servo for the liabilities of this Branch of
the business is shown by the result of 14
years' experience to be abundantly suffi-
cient.
The Assurance Fund on 31st Decem-
ber, 1868, was £241'301 12 4
The average duration of the whole of
die Industrial Policies was considerably
under three years.

'VAST 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.
£B,OOO at least is:required to can y out this much-wished-
for and urgent scheme
Contributions will be thankfully receired by the Trea-
surer, E.S. Norris, Esq., Shadwell ; or by
