In consequence of the diminution of incendiary practices
on the property of Farmers during the last few years, the
Directors of the County Fire Office feel enabled to reduce
the premium for the Insurance of Farming Stock to is. 9d.
per cent., without the average clause, and is. 3d. with the
average clause.
It is now Thirty-three years since the County Fire Office
was instituted, for the express benefit of country residents,
and under the supervision of local Directors—it has been
eminently successful—it is the only Fire Office that has made
regular and large returns to the parties insured. These have
been constant, and have amounted to £123,000. During the
above period, upwards of Forty Insurance Offices have
broken up, some with the loss of every thing. Among the
extraordinary number which have recently sprung up, many
are evidently not intended to last. The closing of the Royal
Union Office in Lancaster Place, which took place recently,
and the complaints of numerous persons at Bow-street, who
had deposited all they possessed in that Office, and were left
destitute, is a warning that ought not to be disregarded.

JAMES WATSON, ESQ., MANAGER.
This is strictly a Mutual Assurance Society, and the pro-
fits are divisible on a new and equitable principle, peculiarly
favourable to good lives.
In other offices, a share of profits is allotted to all policies,
indiscriminately, which have subsisted for a certain short
term, as five years or even less ; although holders who hap-
pen to die at such early period, must occasion a loss to the
common fund : the premiums which they have lived to pay
not amounting to one-fourth the sum withdrawn at their
death.
But in this office, the entire surplus is reserved for those
members whose premiums, with accumulated interest, amount
to the sums in their policies.
The Premiums are about one-fourth lower than those of
other Mutual Assurance Offices, which is equivalent to an
immediate bonus to that extent. Thus securing the greatest
present benefit, while the peculiar mode of division of the
profits gives promise of the greatest future contingent ad-
vantages. A combination presented by no other office.
The premiums have been deduced from the most recent
and accredited sources, with such addition as to provide for
perfect security. _
