cies of five years' standing, under the first of the above

*** The lengthened period over which Life Policies gene-

serious consideration of all persons to whom the subject o

2d. That should the preamble of the Bill be deemed to be
proved, this Meeting agrees strenuously to oppose the 4th
clause, which authorises the Company to raise in Shares
amongst themselves £127,000 additional Capital; this Meet-
ing considering it to he unnecessary to increase the Capital,
and even if it were necessary, it is desirable that the money
should be raised by means of public competition for the
Shares, thus giving the Public, and not the individual share-
holders, the benefit of the Premiums obtained thereby.
3d. That this Meeting deems it necessary that should the
Bill be proceeded with, that there should be a Clause intro-
duced requiring the Company, in their published accounts,
to particularize all items of general expenditure exceeding
£lOO.

give effect to its views, the Guardian Society's Solicitor
should proceed to London and employ counsel, and take
