Extracts from the Report of the Directors, presented at
the Annual General Meeting held on the 27th November,
1868 :

1. The sum of £412,345 was proposed for Assurance, of
which £307,395 was completed at Premiums pro-
ducing £10,067 per Annum.
2. The amount paid under Claims by death was £100,833,
being the smallest since 1860, whilst the expenses of
management and all other outgoings wero even less
than for many years past.
3. On the other hand, the Income was raised to £219,769,
notwithstanding that its increase was retarded by
abatements of premium which did not take effect in
the previous year, and by the cessation of interest on
the large sum paid as Bonus in 1867.
4. The Surplus income was very considerable. It
amounted to £93,152, n sun exceeding by more than
8,0 0 0
of
tinythe during the forty-four
years
5. The Accumulated Fund was thereby increased to
previoussoiet3,s Surplusxeistexistence.

The directors also draw attention to the successful esta-•
blishment during the past year of the Britannia Fite
Association, under the auspices of the Briton. The direc-
tors believe that the establishment of a Fire Company, to
work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much
to the advantage and profit of both institutions. It is
scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and
constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct.
