SEVENTEENTH REPORT d f the STAR LITE
ASSURANCE SOCIETY, press ntcd at the Annual
Mreting, held en ',N,londay, March it, 1861.
CHARLES HARWOOD, -Es q., in the Chair,
The Directors have much pleas ure in being oleto pre-
sent a very satisfactory Report of tb .e operati"was of the So
eiety for the year 1860.
The Directors have issued Nin e Hur red and two New
Policies for the assurance of £33 6,-1% Yiele.ing an annual
income of £11,312 15s. 9d., an r ,mount exceeding that of
any previous year.
The annual revenue, after e .eductir,g the premiums for
policies fallen in by death, and klirre'ddered to the Office,
now amounts to £89,439 3s. ld
The Premium or Assuranc Funil is now £360,530 35.,
iik.owing an increase of ,E 51,1
.85 17s. :10d. during the year.
The claims by death ( after deci: acting sums assured in
other offices) amount to, £21,942 16s. id., assured by 60
policies; and the Dirce,tors have sti 11, as on previous occa-
sions, the satisfaction of reporting that this sum and num-
ber are below the average expected and provided for.
The following figlares illustrate ruore fully the advance of
the Society during the past five years, and present facts
which will comtr,end tnemselvem to the judgment of those
conversant wilt Life Assurance, Societies., as affording the
most satisfac:try evidence of pr ogress e.nd Prosperity

Thus it will be perceiv :A that during the last live years
the sum of £158,419 15s. 10d. has been added to the Assur-
ance or Premium Prnd, while £204,531 2s. Ga, has been
paid since the estrOolishment of the Society to Policies
which ;rave become claims by death.
These figures are very gratifying—they sho-,v the strong
hole, which the Society has upon the confidence of the
Pu'olic • and it is from no mere routine that the Directors
advereto the valuable assistance ,•btainet from their Wes-
leyan connexion—a connexion iv:lich h 9.11 always had a con-
siderable influence on the prosperity ori the Institution.
It is hoped, however, that still la*ger results will be ob-
tained, with more than £7,000 poPicy-hcAders, an influen-
tial proprietary, a staff exceeding 400 Agents, and its asso-
ciation with Wesleyan Methodism, the Star is yet capable
of very considerable extension.
The Deed of Settlement provides that four of the Direc •
toca should retire. In conformity therewith Edward Ball, .P, Thos Holmes, Joseph. Thackray, and William Betts,
Esqs., vacate office ; and, being eligible, the Directors pro..
pose their re-election.
The Directors desire to call atteutien to the circumstance
that the next division of profits will take place at the end
086 f the ye
willar 1863, and that all Po!liciea effected in the year
11 share in the Bonus tbe then distributed, pro-
drums the Preriume are paid fAnnvtally.
