Insurance is for £BOO and upwards (also for sums between £3OO
and £300,) are issued gratis, the amount of the new stamp duty
ibeing paid by the Office!
Au allowance of half the duty is also made upon Insurances for
sums between £lOO. and £3OO, and between iESOO and £BOO.
This regulation, which oSers to the Insurer a saving of from
7s. 641. to sus. is peculiar to the Union Office, and must entitle it
to primal preference and support.

carded from the plan of this Institution, no charge being made for

neglect of paying the annual premiums in due time, (except the
mere interest lost by the delay.)
The Office not only makes a liberal allowance for the Policies,
if the insured cannot continue to pay the Premiums, but will also
advance Loans on such Policies, in cafe the Parties are desirous
of retaining their interest in the Insurance.
