EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE.
Capital-500,0001.
(Incorporated ander 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.)
The leading principles of this Office ara —Moderate and equitable
Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits.
The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion
Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so
great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess
than calculation.
It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the
different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the
amount of annual Premiums received by each.
It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers,
that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the
true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu-
rance Company is established.
The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap-
proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto
been sufficiently acted on, or systematically applied.
Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to
the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as
security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer
is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by
supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica-
tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk.
The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own
experience, from time to tine, adopt such rates of Premium as the
nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange-
ments as regards tariffs with other offices.
With this view an annual investigation will be made into each
class a risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett
excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have
been in force for three years.
Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon
every description of Property on moderate terms.
Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Clause.

tion at the Office, or to any of its Agents.

LASE OF SARAH CHESHAM. -- THE
DOCTORS AND THE POISONERS.
nv. Taylor, on the trial of Saxah Chesham, is reported to
,8a id that—" a sensation of gnawing and sinking in the sto-
`qui', Would be one of the symptoms consequent upon the
Itadrninis-
-14 of arsenic." Now, Sir, we contend that Dr. Taylor ought
:4 been asked further, whether such would not be the symptoms
poi,' arsenic was administered medicinally, for it seems that the
,44—',,41_tig in this case was effected by repeated small doses, as in
utib Laffarge's case. How came this to escape Lord Camp-
klrl We have often heard many persons complain of a gnawing

the wretched woman is guilty, and deserves the utmost
7to—"tnt ; but it is certainly contemptibly laughable to hear

th,,t2: other poisons, into benign medicines ?
Ithles newspaper of Friday last, as it not satisfied by report-
:laid e trial of this wretched woman, goes on in a leading article to
Rik ?A into the heads of people respecting the crime of secret
tat ~Port, which must necessarily be attended with the very worst
ZNrences ; so that with such a paper on the one hand, and the
C and chemists on t• hhe other, it is not difficult to realise the
