source was £104,352 13s. 11d. The Report further stated that
the next Septennial investigation and Division of Profits in the

that, as by the system of this (Wee all Policies.on the Partici
paling Class opened previously share in the Bonus then to be
declared in prepottion to the number of Annual Premiums paid
