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

HENRY ROSE,
The total income of the year, it will be seen, is £544,466
9s. 2d., and the total outgo £409,654 14s. sd. ; the diffe-
rence, or the sum laid by—viz., £131,811 14s. 9d.—raises
the fund again to £907,552 Bs. 6d.
The interest received during the year is £117,584 7s.
3d., arising from the productive 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 ls. 9d.,
and of this sum £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 nearly £19,000.
A considerable reduction, too, appears in the amount
of premiums paid for re-assurance, many of the risks
re-assured having terminated by death and other causes.
The expenses of management aro less than those of last
year by upwards of £1,400. But they still include charges
incurred in the final closing of the two officeslast absorbed
by the company. The whole expenditure, however, in-
cluding income tax, is at the rate of little more than 5}
per cent. on the total income.
The balance-sheet is as follows :
