The Liability of the Industrial Branch
does not admit of being estimated in the
same way as that of the General Branch,
on account of the very larg) proportion of
Policies which coast ntly lay se, so that
the bulk of the assurances are, in fact, risks
for short terms only ; the estimated re-
serve for the liabilities of this Branch of
the business is shown by the result of 14
years' experience to be abundantly suffi-
cient.
