PROPOSALS
FOR. ESTABLISHING. A CoNIYANY, FOR INSURING,
THE LIVES Of CATTLE,
CONTORMABLY TO,A PLAN IN THE iOSitS3llOlll 0/
WILLIAM ROBERT HENRY BROWN, ESQ.- •
Chairman of the HOPE INSURANCE COMPANY.
IN the present state of the Proposals, the whole Na-
ture and extent of the Plan cannot, with prudence, be made
public, but it is necessary to mention, that the risks of Insurance
are the deaths of Horses, Mares, Mules, Bulls, Oxen, Cows, and
Sheep; occasioned by disease or accident (fire excepted) subject to
such conditions and restrictions as will in due time be circulated
throughout the kingdom, by the means of Agents, who will be
speedily appointed for thegeneral purposes of the Company.
The Capital not to be less than ONE MILLION of Pounds
Stetting, and to be divided into Shares of XSO each, part of which
are intended to be reserved for Country Gentlemen, Owners, and
Breeders of Cattle, Farmers, Graziers, and others, who may be
disposed to countenance the undertaking.
No person to be allowed to subscribe foc more than Forty
Shares, nor less than Five Shares ; Proprietors of which are to
have a Vote for every Five Shares in all cases where a ballot may
be necessary.
Five l'ounds on each Share shall be paid when called for, and
no mere of the Capital will be required unless wanted; and then
only in proportion to the claims which may arise by losses.
The Company to be under the exclusive management of 21
Directors, including a President, whereof the undersigned Gen-
tlemen, marked •, are to form a part, and the remainder shall be
appointed by the Proprietary at large.
The President to be appointed out of, and by the above named
Gentlemen, who, together with those to be appointed by the
Proprietary, are to remain in office four years.
No Director shall be qualified unless possessed of Twenty
Shares ; but the Directors shall have power to appoint honorary
Directors in different parts of the Country, provided they are
Proprietors.
The Speoles of Insurance proposed to be effected by the Com-
pany has been hitherto unknown in this kingdom, and ie pre-
slimed to be of the highest importance, rendering more secure a
property which far exceeds all other in value, and whose protec-
tion, therefore, is of the first consequence. In short, when the
Plan (which has been matured by long investigation, and formed
upon a basis derived from experience and subsequent calculations)
becorites to be thoroughly understood by the Owners and Breeders
of Cattle, it will be found to promise great benefit to the Agri-
cultural interest; and there is not the least doubt that it will re-
ceive the support which its magnitude and importance entitles it to.
Such persons as may be des!nus of promoting the intended
Establishment, by subscribing for Shares, are requested to address
letters (post paid) to W. R. H. Brown, at the City of Lon-
don Tavern, Bishopsgate-street ; and d 1 sun as are approved by
the present Directors will have notice
the of the number of Shares
allotted them, and of the time of paying deposits; but pre-
ference will, in all cases, be given to Owners and Breeders of
Cattle, Farmers, Graziers, and all others connected with or en-
gaged in Agricultural pursuits. The deposits when called for
will be required to be paid into the hands of Messrs. Smith,
Payne, and Smith, Bankers, Mansion House-street; and Messrs.
Hammersley and Co. Pall-Mall :and also into the Banks of such
Places in di:, Country as the Directors shall appoint, for the ac-
commodation of those who reside at a distance from London, pre-
paratory to an investment in the public Funds, in the names of
Trustee' to be appointed by the Directors.
We, the undersigned, having bad the basis on which the fore-
going Plan is founded subniitted to us by Mr. Brown, aid by a
Gentleman of extensive information on the subject, as well as
the private calculations formed on it, which, in our opinion, can-
not, without prejudice to the Company, be at present made
known, do recommend the Plan as worthy of the attention of the
Public, and particularly of those connected with the Agricultural
interests of the Country; and we assure such persons, that the ob-
ject in view, and all its bearings and consequences, particularly
Oat mode of preventing Frauds,sehich, upon the first glance, this
species of Insurance appeared to be open to, have been frequently
discussed by us, et various meetings, and that it appears to ui to
be a Plan possessed of peculiar merit, anti promises to be of great
advantage to a Proprietary as well as to the Empire at large.
Under this impression we have resolved to give it every support
n our power.
