THE WIDOW of the late Rev. GEORGE
EDWARD HOLLEST, of Fernley, Surrey —Fernley, Bag-
shot, December 4, 1850.—An earnest APPEAL to public benevolence
is respectfully submitted by a few friends and neighbours on behalf
of the WIDOW of the late Rev. GEORGE EDWARD HOLLES
who for a period of 18 years, in an exemplary manner, performed
the duties of his church, and was distinguished by his benevolence
and charity in the wide district un ler his charge. The act of
atrocity by which the Rev. Mr. Holiest was suddenly cut off is
universally known, but those only who are acquainted with his posi-
tion are aware that he never had the means of making a previa! .11
for his widow. Under such circumstances, it is hoped that the case
of Mrs. Holiest will commend itself to the generous consideration
of those who are blessed with the means of alleviating, so far as
human sympathy and assistance can alleviate, the distress of a
family so fearfully bereft of its natural supporter. The income of
Mrs. Holiest does not exceed 401. per annum, and subscriptions are
earnestly solicited in aid of these inadequate means. Subscriptions
will be thankfully received by the following hankers :—Messrs.
Herries, Farquhar, and Co.; Messrs. Williams, Deacon, and Co.;
Messrs. Barclay, Tritton, and Co.; Messrs. Coutts, and Co.; Messra.
Smith, Payne, and Co.; Sir S. Scott, Bart., and Co., I, Cavendish-
square; Messrs. Mangles Brothers, Guildford; Messrs. Stevens
and Blandy, Reading; also by the following members of the Com-
mittee :
R. R. Bayley, Esq., Mite/lett, Fernley, Bagshot.
J. F. Burrell, Esq., Manor House, Fernley.
Rev. J. H. Clayton, Farnborough, Bagshot.
Rev. John Lawrell, Cove, Bagshot.
Sir Walter Farquhar, Bart., Farnborouit-place, Bagshot.
Thomas Longman, Esq., Farnborough-hill, Bagshot.

Captain Charles Edward Mangles, Poyle-park, Farnham, Surrey.
The Committee have the satisfaction to state that her Majesty the
Queen, the Duchess of Gloucester, and the Bishop of Winchester,
have sanctioned their exertions by very liberal donations.

The WITHDRAWAL TABLE of the Society affords to the As-
sured the greatest possible present and prospective advantages that
can he conferred by Life Assurance. On this Tab's the Assured is
entitled, at any time, to receive at interest an immediate advance,
to the extent of one-half the amount of the paid annual Premiums,
without security, personal liability, or deposit of the Policy, but by
simple endorsement thereon ; dr the half Premium may be with-
held during the whole continuance of the Policy. Also, in the
event of the Assured at any time not requiring to continue the
Policy, on its surrender one-half of the annual payments will be
returned by the Society.
Lapsed Policies may be renewed without fine, on proof of health
and payment of arrears of Premium without interest.
Notices of Assignment of Policies registered and acknowledged,
so as to mike them available as securities is the hands of
third parties.

DISPUTED LITE POLICIES.

" A trial of considerable interest to Life Assurance Offices and the
public was concluded yeste-rday in the Court of Exchequer. The
Eagle Company held a policy for an assurance of 5391. in the Albion
Company as security for an advance, the payment of which policy
was now disputed by the Albion, on the ground that at the time it
was effected the fact of• the assured party having been a man of in-
temperate habits was concealed from the office. The chief evidence
fume i upon the question as to the degree of intemperance that had
been exhibited, and the result was, that a verdict was given against
the resisting office, not only for the amount of the policy, but also for
401. interest from the date when it became due. The circumstance
of the action being brought by one office against another presents a
striking illustration of the uncertainty which may attach to all po-
licies under the present system, and shows that the only mode by
which absolute security can be obtained by the public must lie in the
general adoption by Assurance Offices of the plan of protecting them-
selves in every case by due inquiries before the granting, f each po-
licy, and of afterwards assuming the full responsibility of the com-
pleteness of such inquiries by holding themselves precluded from
raising any future question. In the present case two offices are
found to be diametrically opposed in their opinions as to what can
properly invalidate a claim, and yet the public are expected to be
able to guare themselves against such contingences. Similar cases
have occurred before, and even if they were more rare, they would
seriously injure the progress of life assurance. The very principle
upon which the business is founded is the removal of uncertainty,
and whenever that principle is counteracted in the slightest degree,
the people who would be the first to resort to its advantages are the
first to be deterred."—Times, July 11, 1850.
