CATHOLIO LAW AND GENERAL LIFE
_ASSURANCE COMPANY,
5, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON.
The FOURTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie-
tors of this Company look place on the 25th instant, at the Head
Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the
report, which is too lengthy for publication:—
During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in England,
and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 260/.—making
together 7001., which Imve been paid. This is far below the expected
mortality, and is especially favourable, when It is remembered how
severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last
year.

- The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1249, and
the 31st of stay, 1850, was more than double the number issued in
the twelve months preceding.
Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. 6d.:
of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s.
Sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 3s.
was received by the Company in the shape of premiums.

- - -
Since the commencement of the Company to the Ist of June last,
assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 12s 6d., pro-
ducing in annual premiums 3,732/. 1 Is. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed,
amounting to 23,9901. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were
7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to
2,9911. 15s. I Id.

since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001.,
but 1,1831. 11s. 10d. only was advanced.
The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the
last four months they had considerably extended their business on
the Continent, hating appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur
de l'Etang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for
his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters,
who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris,
the Cardinal Archbish p of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisis, Eveque
de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con•
siderable amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An-
nuities both Immediate and Deferred.

After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning
thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice-
Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish-
ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results
and future prospects.
