All of whom, as well as the Directors, ordinary and extraordinary,
are personally connected with the society by insurances 01 more than
three years' standing.
In comparing the relative advantages afforded by the different in-
surance companies, and in contrasting the various modes in which the
profits are allocated amongst the insured, it coght to be particularly
kept in view that many offices professing to make large additions
make no provision for the payment of bonuses during the interval be-
tween one period of investigation and another, commonly called
Contingent Prospective Bonuses. No mode cf allocation of the pro-
fits of an a,surai ice company can be equitable which does not pro-
ceed upon the principle of making provision for such bonus addi-
tions. Thus, when a higher premium is charged than is admittedly
an equivalent for the risk undertaken, and when the accumulations
arising from the surplus premiums are divided in who'e
or in part among the contributors, it is clearly contrary to the
principle of justice—that if A and B, being of the same age,
effect insurances at the same time and to the same extent, and if A
live for several years longer than B, and pay more annual pre-
miums, his representatives should receive no larger share of the
profits or surplus premiums than the representatives of B.
the same time manifestly inconsistent with strict equity, it is at
that the
Interests of the families or representatives of those whose lives are
insured should IN materially affected (it may be to the extent,, in
some cases, of hundreds of P°unds), according to whether they
happen to die the day before or the day after that 012 Which an in-
vestigation is made into the company's affairs.
