SOLICITORS—Messrs. Newbon and Evans.
In almost every office of trust in mercantile or professional avoca-
tions security is required. The observation applies universally to
the several situations under Government, connected with the collec-
tion of the revenue. In addition, the numerous existing railway,
and other incorporated public companies, are imperatively required
by their acts of incorporation to take security from their officers;
and when it is considered what an increase there has been, and is
certain still to be in such companies, the amount of security con-
tinually, and from time to time required to be found by private par-
ties, by some means or other, to qualify them to hold situations of
trust, mast be immense.
The insecurity of, and objection to, private suretyship arises from
the difficulty which must always exist of ascertaining with correct-
ness the real solvency of the proposed sureties at the time ; and
even when this fact can be satisfactorily shown then remains the
danger that the bondsmen may not continue solvent. In how many
cases does it not happen that, on defalcation occurring, and en in-
quiries being made as to the sureties, they are found either to have
themselves become insolvent, or to have died in embarrassed circum-
stances, leaving but little, if any, chance to the principal of reaping
any benefit from his supposed security ?
On the other hand, the evil is not less to the applicant for the
situation or the office. Many a man, otherwise well qualified, has
been obliged to forego an advantageous appointment, by not being
able to fled security- to the large amount required by the regulations
the
particular service or department ; and the very application to
ids is, to a well-constituted mind, painful, seeing that the appli-
est thereby not only lays himself under personal obligations, but
subjects his friends to serious pecuniary liability, without any eor-
responding individual advantage.
The object of the Surety Society is to obviate these evils by sub-
stituting the security of a responsible incorporated public company.
In consideration of the payment of a small annual premium, regu-
lated by circumstances, the Society will become responsible for the
fidelity of persons employed in offices of trust, to any extent which
may be agreed upon and stated in the policy, and will thus open to
parties not being perhaps in a situation to obtain private sureties to a
sufficient amount, but otherwise eligible, the opportunity of accepting
valuable appointments of trust.
The advantages to principals are the responsibility of a public
company, with an ample subscribed capital, obviating the necessity
of personal inquiry into the individual responsibility of proposed sure-
ties, andrelleving,,,principals from the possibility of loss by reason of
the insolvency of the private surety.
The Directors will exercise all needful precautions in entering into
contracts. The ordinary minimum rate of premium will be fixed ;
but special cases will be made the subject of a distinct contract, at an
agreed rate. At the end of three years the experience of the Society
will be examined, and, if found practicable, the premimns on all
existing policies of three years' standing will be reduced; so that
those assurers who have not exposed the Society to loss may reap
the benefit of their established character.
Parties, or their representatives, under personal liability, by bond or
otherwise, for the fidelity of relatives or Aiello's, may be indemnified,
or entirely relieved from responsibility, by contract with this
Society.
The capital requisite to enable the Society to avail itself of the
advantages of incorporation under the recent Joint-Stock Companies'
Act having been subscribed for, the Directors are proceeding with all
dispatch to complete the Registration of the Company, and will be
ready to receive proposals on the first of January next.
The capital is required as satisfaction to the public, but, as in Life
Assurance, the assurers' premiums rapidly form a capital ; the
Directors, therefore, will at present only require the first call. of 1/.
per Share, reserving, however, the right of making farther calls,
should they hereafter deem it desirable. Interest, at the rate of five
pounds per cent.Swlll be paid on the etpital; the profits will be as-
certained by the experience of the office at the expiration of every
three years.
The remaining shares will be- allotted at the discretion of the
Directors, to parties in mercantile pursuits, or the public service, and
who are personally known to the Trustees or Directors, or whose ap-
plications are certified by a banker or broker. All applications to be
addressed to the Directors through the Solicitors, Messrs Newbon
and Evans, at the temporary Offices of the Society, 1, Wardrobe-
place, Doctors'-commons, London.
