CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE
ASSURANCE COMPANY,
8, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON.
The FOURTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie-
tors of this Company took 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 2801.—making
together 7001., which have 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, 1849, and
the 31st of May, 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 let of June last,
assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 125. 6d., pro-
ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. Ile. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed,
amounting to 23,9901. 16s. 6d., of whisk the annual premiums were
7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the lot of June last equal to
2,9911. 15s. Ild.
Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001.,
bat 1,1831. 1 Is. 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, having 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 Archbishop 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 Mitre prospects.

LIFE DEPARTMENT.—Under the provisions of an Act of Par-
liament, recently obtained, this Company now offers to future In-
surers a low Rate of premium without participation in Profits; or a
moderate scale of premiums with four-fifths of the Profits to be de-
rived from all Assurances hereafter effected.
The divisions of Profits which heretofore have been made Septen-
nially will in future be made Quinquennially, the first of such divi-
sions to be declared in June 1855, when all participating policies
which shall have subsisted at least one year at Christmas, 1854, will
be allowed to share in the profits.
At the several past divisions of profits made by this Company, the
reversionary Bonuses added to the policies from one.half the profits
amounted, en an average of the different ages, to about 1 per cent.
per annum on the sums insured, and the total bonuses added to the
four septennial divisions exceeded 770,0001.
FOREIGN RISKS.—The extra Premiums required for the East
and West Indies, the British Colonies, and the northern parts of the
United States of America, have been materially reduced.
LOANS granted on Life Policies to the extent of their values, pro-
vided such Policies shall have been effected a sufficient time to have
attained in each case a value not under 501.
In the FIRE DEPARTMENT, a Return of profit was declared
on the sth of June, upon the premiums received on all Policies
which had been in force seven years at Chrms 1849, and te same
is now in course of payment daily (Friday a ist
and Saturday exchepted),
between the hours of ten and three o'clock, at the Head Office; and
EGso by the Agents in the Country Districts.
Notice Is hereby given, that Assurances which expire at
Lady Day must be renewed within fifteen days at this Office, or with
Mr. Sams, No. 1, St. James's-street, corner of Pall-mall, or with

come void.

parts of the country are pirating the Ilygeian system of James
Morison, which they father upon long-lived people, this is to cau-
tion the public against such malpractices. The integrity of the Hy-
geian system it is necessary should be preserved.-51 arch 5, 1861.
