The Liability of the Industrial Branch
does Lot admit of being estimated in the
same way as that of the General Branch,
on account of the very largr proportion of
Policies which coast qtly two, 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.
The Assurance Fund on 21st Decetn-
ber, 1868, was .£211,101 12 4
The average duration of the whole of
►he Industrial Policies was considerably
