These examples show the respective amounts of the Bonus
- ALREADY- DECLARED and TESTED. Under the provision made at
the last investigation for the payment of au INTERMEDIATE
BONUS,-in the case of Policies becoming Claims by death
during the current Septennial period, the whole amounts
respectively payable under the above Policies, in the event of
the risks now emerging, would be considerably more than
those stated in the last column. Thus, supposing the life
assured by the first policy to drop daring the present year,
the amount payable under the 10001. Policy would be, not
20niz. Is. Bd., but 21731. ss.
,2d.
In all cases where the member is not incapacitated in any
way from dealing with his Policy, he has the option of con-
verting the Reversionary Claim for whatever Bonus has been
added to it, into an equivalent present payment in cash, or
of applying the same towards extinction or reduction of the
future Premiums. As showing the effect of such conversion
or application, the cases of the above Policies may be taken.
The amount of additions to the second Policy being
5901. Is. IGd., the member might at the present time
surrender the reversionary claim therefor, and receive in
cash a sum of 3301. 19s. 11d.
Or, he might surrender the reversionary claim 'for bonus to
the extent of 4671 12s. ld., and be relieved from any
further payment of the premiums exigible in terms of the
pdliey, retaining a claim for the remainder of the addi-
tions already made, namely, 1121. Os. 9d., and for any
further bonus to be declared in future.
In the case of the third Policy, to which there are additions
of 4071. 12s. 31, the member, on surrendering these
might either receive a sum of 2281. 12s. 9d. in cash, or ho
might have all future premiums exigible_in terms of the
policy reduced from the original amount of 311. 17s. 6d. to
91. 2s.
Or again, he might, by renouncing right to 2041. ss. 6d. of
the bonus, have the premiums exigible in terms of the
policy from this date to the close of the year 1859, four in
number, altogether extinguished, reserving to himself a
claim for the balance of 2031. 6s. 9d., and for any further
addition by way of bonus to be afterwards declared. ,
Prospectuses, containing full information in regard to the
above, and other points connected with the Society's history
and practice, may be obtained at the Head Office, or from any
