'ow Rates without participation in the Profits ; or at moderate Rates
with participation in one moiety of the Profits every seven years. At

the Bonuses amounted to about 1 per cont. per annum on the sum
assured, or-about 27 per cent. on the amount of premium received ;
and the whole amount of Reversionary Bonus allotted by the Com-
pany exceeded 530,0001.

LOANS granted on Life Policies to the extent of their values, pro-
►ided such Policies shall have been erected a sufficient time to have
