CLERICAL, MEDICAL, AND GENERAL
LIFE ASSURANCE, SOCIETY.
REPORT OF 7,,E DIRECTORS.
Presented at the Annual General Meeting, held at the Society's

Office, on Thursday, March 2d, 184 R.
Ilaying, at the Meeting held in January, 1847, presented to the
Pro rietors and A.sured a very full account of the Society's affairs,
your Directors have but little to commuincate on the present oc-
casion.

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

In proof of this, it will be sufficient to state the following facts :
I. The Lumber of Policies granted on the lives of Clergymen., a
class of persona 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.

11. The Socictyi Income, which was 116,3821. In the year enclitng
June 30th, 1846, a , eunted to 122,906/. in the year ending Jutne
30th, 1847.
111. The number of NEW POLICIES issued within the year has
been 513, and tha amount assured thereby 257,079/. Being an
increase, both in the number of poliei, s and in the sum assured, oTer
these of any preceding year.
In conclusion, the D•rectors are happy to inform the Proprietors
that the Society has not in a!,y 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 36, 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
the Society's Agents, or by addressing a letter to
GEO. 11. PINCKARD, Resident Secretary.
