BONUS MEETING, 18G7.
The Report presented at a Meeting held on the 3d
January last, for the declaration of the EIGIITII BONUS,
showed,

1. AS TO THE PROGRESS OF TILE SOCIETY,
that, during the quinquennial period which terminated on
the 30th June, 1866,
NEW ASSURANCES for a total sum of £1,518,181,
and yielding £50,497 in Annual Premiums, had been
effected, of which sums the former exceeded by £31,811,
and the latter by £2,392, the corresponding items of any
previous period; that
THE INCOME had increased from £195,400 to £215,327
per annum; and that
THE ASSURANCE FUND, after payment of £85,803
on account of Bonus at the last Division, had risen from
£1,422,191 to £1,619,539.

2. As TO THE FINANCIAL POSITION OF THE SOCIETY.
That the Assets on June 30, 1866, were £1,619,539 14 8
And the Liabilities on the same date ... 1,313,708 19 2

Leaving a surplus of ............... .£275,880 15 6

and that, after setting aside £50,000 as a special Reserve
Fund,

THE AVAILABLE PROFIT was £225,830 15s. 6d.,
of which sum £225,000 was recommended for division.
3. Aa TO THE RESULTS OP THE DIVISION.
That the portion of this sum of £225,000—viz., five-sixths,
or £lB7,soo—which fell to the Assured, would yield a
REVERSIONARY ADDITION TO THE POLICIES
of £272,682, averaging 45 per Cent, or varying, with the
different ages, from 32 to 85 per Cent. on the premiums
paid since the last division; and that the
CASH BONUS, which is the exact equivalent of such
Reversionary Bonus, would average 26 per Cent, of the
like premiums.
The Report explained at length the nature of the In-
vestments and the bases of the Calculations, the results of
which, as above shown, are eminently favourable.

The next DIVISION OF PROFITS will take place in
January, 1872, and Persons who effect NEW POLICIES
BEFORE THE END OF JUNE NEXT will be entitled
at that Division to one year's additional share of Profits
over later Assurers.

Prospectuses, Forms of Proposal, the Report above men-
tioned, and a detailed account of the proceedings of the
Bonus Meeting, can be obtained from any of the Society's
