it is hoped they will always be found affording protection and dis."
pensing benefits to all connected with them, unaffected by those '''
periodical changes. 4.•
" Notwithstanding the unfortunate position of the country during '
the past year, the amount of new business transacted by this Com- '
party has exceeded to a large amount the busindis of the previous
year. The claims during the year have been grAater in proportion
than usual , but a hen the increased mortality throughout the king-
dom generally is remembered, the Directors consider they have
reason to be well sAtisfled with the results."
