CLERICAL, MEDICAL, AND GENERAL
LIFE 'ASSURANCE SOCIETY.
REPORT OF T tiE DIRECTORS.
Presented at the Annual General Meeting, held at the Society's

Office, on Thursday, March 2d, 1848.
Having, at the Meeting held in January, 1847, presented to the
Pro,,rietors and Assured a very full account of the Society's affitirs,
your Directors have but little to communicate on the present oc-
casion.

It may, however, be satisfactory to those now assembled to learn
that, notwithstanding the increased and active competition arising
from the yearly establishment of many new Life Assurance Offices,
the business of this Society still continues to advance.

In proof of this, it wUI be sufficient to state the following facts :
I. Tho number of Policies granted on the lives of Clergymen. a
class of persons generally distinguished for longevity, has been
greater during the year ending June 30th last (the period compre-
hended in this report) than in any one year since the commence-
ment of the Society.
H. The Society's Income, which was 116,3821. In the year ending
June 30th, 1846, a i owned to 122,906/. in the year ending June
30th, 1847.

111. The number of NEW POLICIES issued within the year has
been 513, and the amount assured thereby 287,079/. Being an
increase, both In the number of policits and in the sum assured, over
those of any preceding year.

In conclusion, the Directors are happy to inform the Proprietors
that the Society has net ill any degree suffered from the great mor-
tality which has prevailed of late throughout the kingdom, the
claims, both in the course-of the year ending June 30, 1847, and also
within the six months ending with December last, not having
equalled either in number or amount those of preceding years.
Tables of Rates and Forms of Proposal can be obtained of any of
'g Agents, or by addressing a letter to
