ANNUAL MEETING.

The annual general meeting of the share and policyholders
in this society was held on Wednesday afternoon, at the
head offices, N 0.3, Chatham-place, Blackfriars, for the pur-
pose of receiving the report of the directors for the past year,
and also for election of the directors who retire in accordance
with the deed of settlement.

The chair was occupied by Lord Henry Gordon, chair-
man of the board of directors.

The advertisement calling the meeting having been read,

The CHAIRMAN said he would open the business of the
day by calling upon their manager to read the directors'
report.

Mr. ROE then read the report, which was as follows :
"Your directors have much pleasure to submit to the
shareholders their annual report of the business transacted
during the past year, 1860, and in doing so, they consider
the increased progress of the Society, more particularly
during the latter portion of the year, a source of much con-
gratulation both to the shareholders and also to the mem-
bers assured. The following statement of the proposals
made to the Society during 1860, and of new policies
actually issued, will at once bear out the above remarks.
No. of proposals offered :—ln the " First-class" branch,
352; Industrial do., 4,102. Amount proposed for
assurance, £118,440. No. of policies actually issued,
in the " First-class" branch, 244 ; " Industrial "
do., 3,523. Amount assured thereunder, £Bl,Bll 165.,
producing now annual income of £3,029 Bs. 4d.,
leaving proposals for £36,680 uncompleted ; of
which amount, proposals for assuring £15,530 were de-
clined by your board, and £21,150 was not completed,
chiefly because your board, considering it necessary to
charge extra premiums, the proposers declined to assure.
The average amount of each policy completed in the " First-
class" branch, is £234.

"Your directors have exercised every proper considera-
tion and care in accepting proposals, and when any life
offered has been found to be other than select,' an increased
premium, commensurate with the extra risk,hasb e en charged,
your directors feeling sure that the safety and well-being of
a Life..office depend both upon the class of lives accepted,
and the adequate premiums charged upon those, not abso-
lutely of the select class.

"Your directors beg to offer a few remarks upon the
latter portion of the year 1860, having been more produc-
tive of business than the first part. The reasons were these :
That in April circumstances determined your directors to
discontinue the connexion which had previously existed
with another company, and to give a fair value for certain
assets and policies transferred over to your society, and after
doing so to strengthen the Board by adding to its members
some gentlemen of position and standing, thereby re-esta-
blishing an independent direction, in order to carry on the
Wellington business with increased energy; and at the
same time combined exertions were made in every depart-
ment of the business, more particularly in the agency
branch, and your directors are happy to state that
since these arrangements have been fully completed (viz.
since June last year) the amount of business done has in-
creased in the proportion of 4 to 1, and it must be a source
of great satisfaction to the shareholders to know that the
same ratio of increase is still continuing, so that on the
next occasion of your directors reporting the progress of
business, a very much larger result will be shown.
The policy claims during the year have been on a mode-
rate scale as compared with previous years, and consider-
ably under the estimated average, and when the large
increased mortality during the whole of last summer and
autumn in all parts of the kingdom be taken into account,
this may be considered a very favourable feature.
" Every assurance claim has been promptly met, and your
board congratulates the shareholders and members upon the
great and widely spread benefits they have been intrumental
in affording to hundreds of families in the hour of bereave-
ment.
" The industrial branch of the business, which was esta-
blished about seven years ago, in order to afford the benefits
of life assurance to the respectable working portion of the
community, has hitherto proved a valuable adjunct to the
general business, and so long as such is the result your
directors consider it advisable to continue this branch.
'4 Your directors, whilst being resolved to use every legiti-
mate exertion to increase the business of your society, will
not lose sight of the necessary system of economy in it,
general working, feeling that this is the surest means of
placing the society on a secure and permanent basis.
" Looking at the operations of the year 1860, your direc-
tors beg to recommend that interest after the rate of £5 per
cent. per annum be paid upon the new share capital of the
society.
" As the time has arrived for the periodical declaration
of bonus upon the participating policies of five years' stand-
ing and jupwards, your directors will (upon the valuation
of the actuary being concluded) call a special meeting for
the purpose of making a report upon the result of such
valuation. •

" The following gentlemen having been elected of the
society during the past year—viz. :—Lord Henry Gordon;
Francis Brodigan, Esq. ; Jas. Bancks, Esq. ; Sidney Beaty,
Esq.; Edward A. Lamb, Esq.; PonsonbyA. Moore,Esq.; Col
William J. Morris; and Robert F. Power, M.D., this

meeting is hereby asked to confirm their eleCtion accord-
ingly.
" The following directors retire from the Board by rota-
tion, viz. :—Francis Brodigan, Esq. ; Edward A. Lamb,
Esq. •, and Robert F. Power, M.D. ; all of whom being
eligible for re-election, offer themselves accordingly. Henry
Croysdill, Esq., public accountant, of Old Jewry Cham-
bers, City, and S. Bell Carpenter, Esq., accountant, of the
Oriental Bank, City, also retire rom the auditorship, and
beg to offer themselves for re-election.
" To conclude,—Your directors feel that they cannot too
strongly impress upon the shareholders, agents, and general
body of policy holders, the great advantages to themselves
' of renewed exertions on their part to obtain• fresh business
during the present year, and if each policy holder would only
make up his mind to introduce one fresh assurer, your
directors a ould be able upon the next occasion to report a
moat satisfactory increase, which, looking even at the pre-
sent progress, they feel confident of being able to esta-
blish."

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the usual resolution for the
adoption of the reprt, said he felt great pleasure in meet
ing the policy-holders that day, because he felt that they
would all agree with him in thinking that the report which
they had read was a most satisfactory one. (Hear, hear.)
It was a great pleasure to find that their business was
steadily and rapidly improving, notwithstanding the sharp
competition which now existed for life assur-
ances. The extension of their business he attributed
to the advantages held out by the Wellington to thosa of
prudent habits, to th‘i energy and aotivitv of the direc-
tors and agents, and the sound basis on which the
was founded. Looking at the number of new policies that
had been completed during the year just closed, he must
say he felt great pleasure, because it showed a steady and
progressive increase on those of the preceding
year. He sincerely trusted that success would
attend their future efforts, and that at their next annual
meeting he should again have to congratulate them on the
pleasant theme of increased business. Ile begged to move
that the report be received and adopted.
Mr. MOORE said he had much pleasure in seconding the
motion of the chairman. The report they had just heard
read was most satisfactory and encouraging, but the
report the directors would have to make to the policy-
holders next year might be made still more interesting
if, in addition to the policies that would come to them by
way of but iness, each policyholder was to introduce one
new assurer. (Cheers.) Each man had his friends, and
from amongst them it did not appear to him a very difficult
matter to persuade one at least to insure his life. Theirs
was a good, sound society, and was well worthy the strongest
recommendation. Another great recommendation that
could be most forcibly urged was that it was not a liti-
gious one, for in their report it would be seen that their law
expenses amounted for the year to just £4 10s. (Hear,
hear.) The name they possessed was a good and strong
one, and he felt satisfied that the society was
equally as good and as strong as its nanie.
(Hear, hear.) From the many features introduced in
that society, all classes would find their wants
provided for in a most liberal manner, and in a few years
he certainly anticipated that the Wellington would stand
second to none amongst the assurance companies in the
United Kingdom. (Hoar.)
The CHAIRMAN then put the resolution for the adoption
of the report to the meeting, and declared it carried unani-
mously.
It was then moved—" That the retiring directors,
Francis Brodigan, Esq., Edward A. Lamb, Esq.,
and Robert F. Power, Esq., be re-elected." The
proposer thought the business transacted proved
that they could not get a better set of gentlemen to manage
their affairs than these which they at present possessed, and
therefore he had great pleasure in moving their re-election.
(Cheers.)
The resolution having been seconded, was carried unani-
mously.
Mr. BRODIGAN returned thanks on the part of himself
and colleagues. Their only anxiety was how they could
best serve and further the interests of the society.
Resolutions thanking the manager, the general provincial
superintendent and agents, and the other officers of the
society for their exertions during the past year were agreed
to unanimously, and acknowledged by Mr. Roe, Mr.
Yelland, and other gentlemen.
A vote of thanks to the noble chairman terminated the
proceedings.

The following are the new features of the society alluded
to by Mr. More :
TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF PREMIUM. Persons
assured upon the whole life tables, of this society for five
years and upwards, and being unable, from any unforeseen
circumstances, to pay a whole year's premium when it falls
due,—can, by giving 14 days' notice to the directors, and
paying a small fee to the Office,—be allowed credit for
three-fourths of such year's premium, by merely paying
the remaining one-fourth, together with five per cent. in-
terest annually upon the debt, which will be deducted from
the amount of assurance payable at death, and the policy
will still be continued in full force and effect.
EDUCATIONAL ANNUITIES.—A system of annuities
peculiar to this society, by which the means of education is
brought within the reach of all classes, by the payment of
a small quarterly premium for a certain number of years,
at the expiration of which time tae annuity becomes pay-
able, regularly every quarter or half-year, to furnish the
ptrents with a sum of money to pay the schooling or college
expenses, and to continue till the child attains a certain
age. when it is supposed to leave school or college altogether.
POLICIES PAYABLE DURING LIFETIME OF ASSURED.
—All policies issued on the Partitipating Tables are made
payable to the assured himself during his lifetime, without
any increase of premium, by applying the Bonus Profits to
converting the policy into au Endowment Assurance, pay-
able at a certain age.
BUILDING SOCIETIES POLICIES.—'This branch of the
businesi has been eAablished, to supersede and remedy the
defects of Building Societies generally, and also to embody
in one simple system the advantages of those Societies,
and the security of Life Assurance in connection with them.
FREE POLlClES.—Assurers of seven years standing and
upwards, who may be unable (from unforeseen causes) to
continue their policies, can have their full values secured,
by means 9f .17'Vf gWicY, given to them, without any
charge,

LAW INT.ELLIGENCE—(2Ias

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.
(Before the Lord Chief Baron.)
HATCH V. LEWIS.

This case, which has excited so much interest, was pro-
ceeded with this morning. The principal heads of the case
appeared in The Sun of yesterday.

The first witness called was

Mrs. Hatch, who was examined by Mr. Garth, She
said—l am the wife of the plaintiff, the Rev. Mr. Hatch,
who was chaplain, in 1859, at the Wandsworth House of
Correction. We had an adopted child named Luey Butler.
In 1859 we advertised for some children for education. In
that year we had a communication with a Mr. and Mrs.
Plummer, and the result was they sent their daughter
Eugenia, who arrived on the 11th of August in that year.
After she had been with us a fortnight her sister, Stephanie,
also came, and on the following day Mrs. Plummer fetched
both her daughters away. Some time after • that
my husband received a letter from the Bishop
of Winchester, in the month of October. Lucy
was about eight years old, Eugenia was in her 12th year,
and Stephanie about eight. The letter from the bishop was
dated in the first week of October. I did not see the letter
for some time after it was received. My husband left his
home very shortly after that. He was in great pecuniary
trouble. That was the reason we had the children to help
us. There was an attachment against him from the Gene-
ral Indemnity Insurance Company. He left his home be-
cause he thought he would be arrested. That was on the
28th of October. At the time he left his home he was in a
very disturbed state of mind about his debts—he thought
of nothing else. He was away from home about a fort-
night. I was in constant communication with him all the
time. After that, in November, there was a warrant issued
against him.

Lord Chief Baron—Have you the warrant ?
Mr. Garth—Yes, my lord ; I will put it in.
The warrant having been examined by the magistrate's
clerk, the examination was proceeded with.

My husband surrendered on the 12th of November, at
Ridler's Hotel, in Holborn, on that day. He was to appear
before the magistrates at Wandsworth Police.court on the
Monday. On the Saturday when he gave himself up to
Mr. Pratts, they first said they would let him go home, but
he was not allowed to do so, but was taken to the police-
station, where he remained till the Monday morning. On
the Sunday I did not know who to go to, but I selected Mr.
Lewis from the Law List, and I saw him at his residence
the same day. I told him of the position of my husband.
I also showed him the letter from the Bishop of Win-
chester. Mr. Lewis looked the papers over, and said—
Sergeant Shee—The letter referred to ought to be read,
as it forms part of the conversation.

The letter addressed by Mr. Plummer to tb.e Bishop of
Winchester, dated Sept. 16, 1859, was lut in and read. It •
complained of the conduct of the Rev. Mr. Hateh tywards
his two daughters, Eugenia and Stephanie.
Examination proceeded—l did not know all the contents
of the letter. When Mr. Lewis looked over the papers he
almost immediately said, "This case must go to trial."
Me afterwards said he must be informed of the facts of the
case, and that he would do his best, and that he would be
down at the Wandsworth Police-court to see the witnesses
before they went into court, and also my husband, but he
did not do so. I and the witnesses were there soon after 9. He
did not come till a little before 10, when he ran in just as the
court opened. He saw my husband for a moment, and said
he would come down and talk with him before he went into
court, but he never did. He seemed in a great burry. He
did not examine or speak to any of the witnesses. I was to
pay him three guineas. That was the fee he fixed. I did
not go into the police-court. I saw Mr. Lewis after the
examination was over, when he said " You must get bail as
soon as you Can." I then paid him the three guineas. I
asked him if he would see the witnesses and talk to them
but he said he had to go away. Amongst the witnesses
were my mother, Mrs. Dillon, Miss Howe, the governess,
two female servants, Lucy Hatcb, Mr. Williams, Mr.
Onslow, the governor of the prison, and Mr. Gibb, the
under chaplain. I don't think anything else was
said before my husband was committed to Horsemonger-
lane Gaol. I could not procure tail to the amount of £5OO
and two sureties in £250. I saw my husband in gaol. My
husband made complaints about the conduct of Mr. Lewis.
By my husband's directions, I frequently went to Messrs.
Lewis's offices, in Ely-place. The day after my husband
was in gaol I went to Mr. Lewis's, and there I saw Mr.
Lewis senior, whom I wish I had never seen. I told him
my husband wanted to see him immediately, and wished
him to go to Wandsworth and see the witnesses. He pro-
mised ta go at once. On my way to Lewis's, I went to Field's,
the detective's office, but he said Field was a fool, and
he would send a better man down to Plummer's, to
get information. Mr. Lewis never went either to my hus-
band or Wandsworth. I saw Mr. Lewis altogether six
times, but I had been to his office about nine times. I saw

Mr. Lewis's brother in Horsemonger-lane Gaol. It was in
the large visiting room. I did not then know him. Miss
Grove and Mr. Coward were with me. I left Mr. Lewis
with my husband, but I don't know what was said. Every
time I went to Ely-place I begged a Mr. Lewis to go and
see my husband and the witnesses. I begged and prayed of

him to go, but he never did. When I found he did not go,
I asked him if I should bring the witnesses to him, but he
said he could not see them until after he had seen
my husband. I wanted t 3 have Mr. Ballantine to defend
my husband, but Mr. Lewis said that would be very
expensive. I again wished him to see the witnesses, but
he said he could not do so until he had seen my husband.
Some time after Mr. Lewis told me he was going to have Mr.
Ballantine, that the case was in his hands and he would
do the best ho could. Mr. Lewis said he was very lucky in
getting people off. On another occasion, Mr. Lewis said he
could not see the witnesses until after he had a consultation
with Mr. Ballantine. Mr. Lewis said all he wanted
me to do was to get friends to speak as to my
husband's character. I swain asked him to see
the witnesses, but ue said he wousa nut ee
as they :would not be wanted. I said they would all be in
court, but he said he did not intend to call them, so it would
be taking useless trouble. My adopted daughter never
went with me but on the first Sunday I went to Mr. Lewis.
I told him she was one of the witnesses. He never asked
anything, but told her to go into another room, as he did
not wish her to hear anything. When I heard that Mr.
Lewis was not going to call witnesses, I said, "I wish I
could see Mr. Sergeant Ballantine," He said it would be
irregular, as attorneys always conducted the business with
counsel. Mr. Lewis said my husband was sure to be acquitted,
and that all 1 had to do was to get witnesses as to character.
He said the reason he did not wish to call witnesses was
because Mr. Ballantine wished to have the last word. On
one occasion when at Mr. Lewis's I saw one of his sons,
and he remarked he had known people to come out of prison
after two years' confinement fatter and better than when
they went in. (Laughter.) I attended the trial at the Old
Bailey with all the witnesses—Miss Howe, the governess,
Mrs. Dillon, Lucy Hatch, my two servants, and nearly NO
witnesses as to character. I saw Mr. Lewis hurrying by
me in the passage. I said; "Mr. Lewis, will you speak
to the -witnesses." He said " They could all go
home again as they would not be wanted." I
told Mr. Lewis I had something important to communi-
eete to him, but he said, "Don't bother me, you must not
interfere with me." I was not in court during the trial,
but I waited outside. I was present at the trial of Eugenia
Plummer when she was tried for perjury. I saw Mr.
Lewis. He first held out his hand to me, and he said I /rove
just been in court to do you a service. I asked him what
it was, and he said he had been in to tell them it was all
Mr. Ballantine's fault the witnesses were not called on the
first trial. After my husband was convicted Mr. Lewis
said t 3 me "'Well, Mrs. Hatch, if he is guilty we must pray
God to forgive him." I said, "he is not guilty." All I
said at the trial of Eugenia Plummer was true.
Cross-examined by Sergeant Shee—l was married to my
husband in 1849, in Australia. We did not remain there
more than a year after. From that time, until this unfor-
tunate occurrence, we have lived happily together. He
never hid any secrets from me. 1 recollect Mr. HAI re-
ceiving a letter from the bishop, I had no knowledge that
anything oppressed his mind but money matters. When
the letter arrived we were at breakfast. He did not show
it to me. I asked what it was, he said a letter from the
bishop. I pressed him to show me the letter, and in a few
minutes after he handed it to me. I could not make it out.
I knew of no charge against him. He never told me
of the contents of the letter of Mr. Plummer to the bishop for
a longtime; he said he did not like to tell me. Until ie was
apprehended he never asked any body if they recollected
what passed when Mrs. Plummer left the house. I cannot
remember when he first asked if anybody recollected what
took place while Mrs. Plummer was there. Never until
the 12th of November. He never asked me or anybody if
they recollected anything-about what passed in the garden
after Mrs. Plummer had left her daughter Eugenia. Mr.
• Hatch surrendered on the 12th of November. He said he
• iuld not tell me the cause of his arrest. He told me no.
thing about walking about the garden with the children/ or
asked if 1 recollected anything. We all knew what
occurred. Mr. Hatch left his home on the 28th October,
and up to that time he did not seem to think
anything about this case. I saw him, after he left, at Pop-
lar. He did not seem to think much about the charge of Mrs.
Plummer; his money affairs seemed to affect him the most.
A discussion here -rose with respect to the production of
a copy of the letter of Mrs. Hatch to Mrs. Plummer, which
was handed to Sergeant Shee. It was dated the 28th of
October, and appealed to Mrs. Plummer in the strongest
terms to forgive Mr. Hatch, as what had occurred had
driven him distracted from his home,
Cross-examined—l saw him before he left ; he said he did
not know where he was going, but he said he would write
to me. I will swear I did not see him at Plummer's. It is
true Eugenia Plummer came to our bed every morning ac-
cording to the wish of her (Eugenia's) mother. She cam
in her night. dress. I don't recollect that he kissed
her, He has not told me that he had sworn
that he had done so. He may have told me, but I
don't recollect now. Eugenia was never in bed with us
for more than two minutes. I will swear she was not under
the counterpane upon the bed for a quarter of an hour. I
will swear Eugenia did not lay on the counterpane with
Mr. Hatch whilst I washed Lucy of a morning. I wili
swear the girl was not in the bed more than two or thro3
minutes at a time, and that was only to please the mother.
I will swear it Was 89t tei Ali&11199 9r 4 pm* 9t dour,

If I had called the maid she would have known a grown
up girl was in our bed. Mrs. Dillon would have known it.
When the case was tried it rested on the statement of
Eugenia Plummer, but it ought not to have done
so. Mr. Hatch never told me the details of the
case. The papers my husband gave me I gave
to Mr. Lewis. I did not read them. I will swear that
while he was at Poplar he did not have Lucy Hatch two or
three days with him to talk the matter over. Lucy Hatch
is in attendance in this court. When I saw Mr. Lewis at
Wandsworth Police-court it was very late. Mr. Lewis
never told me on that occasion he would go into court and
read the paper Mr. Hatch had sent him quietly. I don't
recollect the date when Sergeant Ballantine was first re-
tained. We never had any difficulty about 'setting funds
to carry on the trial.
Re•examined by Mr. Garth—When Mrs. Plummer
brought her daughter to us she said her children had been
used to be greatly petted, and that they had formerly been
at the Rev. Mr. Bright's. Mrs. Plummer asked me to let
the children lay on the bed in the morning, and the fear of
losing the children made us consent to such an arrarrge-
meat, although we did not like it. I recollect when Mee-
Plummer left Wandsworth, Mr. Hatch, Eugenia, and Luc),
followed the fly. I was at the window with Mrs. Dillon
and several others. We could see them distinctly as they
returned.
Mr. Sergeant Shoe objected to the line of examination.
They were not now trying the guilt or innocence of Mr.
Hatch.
The Lord Chief Baron thought the learned counsel for
the plaintiff must confine himself to the case before the
Court.

Mr. Garth said he was only re-examining the witness in
the points alluded to by Sergeant Shee in his cross-exami-
nation. Tie was going to ask if certain witnesses were exa-
mined at the former trial.
The Lord Chief Baron—That is perfectly unimportant.
We cannot re-try the case of Mr. Hatch and Eugenia
Plummer. The only question we have to try is whether
Mr. Lewis at the trial exercised a sound discretion in what
he did.
Mr. Garth—We want to show what his witnesses would
have proved.
The Lord Chief Baron—That is quite another question.
Lucy Harriet Hatch, examined by Mr. Gordon All,en---
lam vine years of age. Some time before NovemNer,
1859, .1 was adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Hatch. I alwar
called. them papa and mamma. I recollect Eugenia Plum"-
mer coming to Mr. Hatch's. I was there when Stephanie,
carne, and also up to the time they were taken away by her
mamma. I recollect a fly coming to take the Misses Plum-

mer away.
Lord Chief Baron—What do you intend to prove by this
witness ?

Mr. Allen—What the witness would have proved.
Lord Chief Baron—That is quite immaterial. We have
to try the question whether Mr. Lewis exercised a wise
discretion.
Mr. Sergeant Shee said he should object to having the
whole of the former trials gone through. The witness was
examined before the magistrate, and what she stated was
laid before the judges.
The Lord Chief Baron—l will consult the judges if you
doubt the course I am pursuing.
Mr. Sergeant Shee—l don't attempt to fix the guilt of
the charge on Mr. Hatch.
Mr. Garth—We want to show that had Mr. Lewis ob-
tained proper information from the witnesses in attendance
to give evidence the case would have been very different.
The Lord Chief Baron—l will consult my brother judges
on the point as to whether counsel can ask the witnesses the
nature of the evidence they would have given Mr. Lewis,
supposing he had asked.
After a short absence his Lordship returned and said the
judges thought the learned counsel could proceed in the
way he proposed.
The witness was then examined at great length, but in
effect it was merely a repetition of the facts of this case as
far as she was concerned, with which the public are already
familiar.
The case will occupy some days.

POLICE INTELLIG.ENCE.—( This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

STEALING A LADY'S PUESE.—CLEVER CAPTURE. "'"
Edward Malony, a well-dressed young man, described as at
cigar maker, from the neighbourhood of Brick-lane, war§
charged before Mr. Yardley with stealing a purse from
lady named Mellin, residing at 16, Tichborne-street,
market, and who has just arrived from Germany. _ _

Serjeant Cole, 23 C, a very active officer, said—Yesterday
afternoon, about half-past three, I was in Oxford-street,
near the Circus, and having seen the prisoner walking
about that afternoon I watched him, and saw him feel the
outsides of several ladies' pock eta, and afterwards near 1181
Regent-street, I saw him put his left hand into the pi °se-
cutrix's pocket and take out the purse produced. The pri'
soner then ran across the road, and emptied the purse into
his pocket, and while doing so I came up behind him and
seized him. The prisoner then gave him the purse, saying
" Here it is." I then took him to the station, and 00
searching him found XI 16s. on him, and at the station a
Prussian thaler was pickel up behind some constables' cape
which the prisoner had no doubt thrown there, and whicho
was identified by Mrs. Main. I also found in the purse
a shop bill of some goods Mrs. Mellin had just bought.
Mrs. Margaret Mellin, of 16, Tichbome-street, having
identified the purse and Prussian coin, _

The prisoner, whose &hut it evidently was, and who
cried nearly the whole of the time the evidence was being
taken, said he was guilty, and was committed by Sr'
Yardley, who said he would assume it was his first offence/
for 6 months, with hard labour.
