SCOTTISH EQUITABLE LIFE ASSUR-
ANCE SOCIETY.
The TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
of this SOCIETY was held, at Edinburgh, on 2nd May, 1854,
WM. STUART WALKER, Esq., of Howland, in the Chair.
The Report read to the Meeting, and which was unani-
mously approved of, contained the following particulars :
The number of Policies issued during the year ending Ist
March is 620, the Sums assured thereby being £282,715,
giving an addition to the Income in Annual Premiums of
£8,595.'
The Policies lapsed by death during the year are 84, the
Sums Assured by which amount to £49,830, and the Bonus
Additions to £8,482, making together £58,332.
In comparing these sums with the amounts for the preceding
year, they exhibit an increase of 17 in the number of New
Policies, and of about £6,000 in the Sums Assured. The
increase, though of moderate amount, must be considered
satisfactory, especially when regard is had to the great com-
petition which now exists in the business of Life Assurance.
The number of Policies lapsed by death is four under that
of last year, and the amount payable nearly £7,000 less.
Keeping in view the additions made to the business, and the
increased apie of the Members of the Society, these are most
gratifying circumstances.
The Sums remaining Assured amount to £4,234,598 ;
The Annual Revenue amounts to £152,615 ;
And the Accumulated Fund is increased to £839,354.
Copies of the Report, and all other information, may be
had on application at the Head Office or Agencies.
