. INCORPORATED PURSUANT TO AIT OP PARLIAMENT.
At the present day, when Railway travelling has become almost
Universal, protection against the pecuniary loss to which the families
of sufferers from the accidents incidental to it are exposed, is one of
the requirements of the age. To meet this general feeling, this Society
affords to all persons, of whatever class, travelling by Railway in
Great Britain and Ireland, the opportunity of insuring against loss of
life by accident whilst so travelling, at the moderate premium of
109. per cent., in one single payment, for the whole period of life,
thereby rendering unnecessary the payment of Annual Premiums, as
in ordinary Life Assurance.
EXAMPLE.—A person may by one single payment of M. assure to
his family or others the sum of 1,0001., to be paid in the event of his
Whig his life by railway travelling in Great Britain or Ireland.
F. FERGUSON CAMROLTX, Manager.

insured. And the representatives of an original member dying in the
year 1852, after payment of the premium for that year, would
receive a bonus equal to upwards of 106 per cent. on the sum
insured.

Various inquiries having of late been made as to whether this
Society is in the practice of allowing commission to solicitrzs and
others who may be the means of procuring business, the Directors
take this opportunity of expressing their disapproval of the system,
and of intimating that except to the recognised and duly appointed
local agents of the Society, no allowance of the kind is ever made.
the effect of any such misapplication of the funds of a Mutual As-
surance Society being to withdraw from its members a portion of
the profits which ought to be reserved for their benefit, and for
their benefit alone.
