The balance of the year's income was £68,026 9s. 4d.

The directors draw special attention to the fact the t the
next bonus valuation will take place at the end of the year
1872, and that all polices effected on the profit scales prior
to the 31st December, 1869, will be entitled to participate
in the same
The directors also draw attention to the successful esta-
blishment during the past year of the Britannia Fire
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.
By order of the Board,

quinquennial period then terminating, and that a bonus

£208,774. The surplus fund account, as under, commences
with the balance of June, 1867, after deduction of this

THOMAS ALLEN,) Auditors
HENRY ROSE,

The total income of the year, it will bd seen, is f.,544,4G6
98. 2d., and the total outgo £409,651 14s. sd. ; the diffe-
rence, or the sum laid by- viz., £131,811 lls. 9d.—raises
the fund again to £907,552 Bs. 6d.

The interest received during the year is £117,584 7s.
3d., arising from the productiva portion of the realised,
assets of £2,897,157, mentioned in the last year's report.
The whole assets, productive and unproductive, may there-
fore be considered as having improved at the rate of rather
more than 4 per cent. ; or, if the profit shown of £46,070
13s. 3d., derived from various extraneous sources, be in-
cluded, at upwards of £5 12s. per cent.
The premiums on -new'assurances are £14,596 is. 9d.,
and of this suns £3,270 15s. 4d. has been expended in re-
assurances.
The claims on decease of lives assured are nearly iden-
tical in amount with those of 1866. They are less than
those of last year by geariy.£l9,ooo.
A considerable reduction, too, appears in the amount
of premiUms paid for re-assurance, many of• the risks
re-assured having terminated by Heath aid ether causes.
The expenses of management are less than those of last
year by upwards,of £1,400. But the' stilt include charges
incurred in the final closing of the two officeshist absorbed
by the company. The whole expenditure, however, in-
cluding income tax' 'is at the• rate of little more than 5i
per cent. on .the total inconle. : ,
