LIFE Insurance COMPANIES 10 England
have recently undergone nvestsga by Par
lamentary committee, in consequence of alleged
abuses, and petitions that the companies might be
placed on a more satisfactory footing Several
cases of gross fraud were discovered, such as the
exhibition of deceptive balance sheets, the estab-
lishInent OF companies without any real capital,
&c. 1t appeared that since lS44, nearly 400 life
assurance companies had been projected, of which
only about so are now in existence The accu-
INFLATED capital of the present companies in Great
Britain is said TO be about $3.50 900 900, and the
annual income $25 900, 900. In Scotland alone,
the Liabilities of fifteen companies have risen to
$3.50 zoo, 600, and their annual income exceeds
81 500, OOO.--Er. Paper.
There is great reason to fear similar frauds in
American Life Insurance Companies. We know
one company, at least, doing very extensive
business, whose annual reports carry on their face
the evidence Of deception and fraud, TO any per-
son acquainted with the principles of Lille Insur-
ance. Oar advice to those getting insurance is,
to take policies only of Companies, the character
sad standing Of whose officers are personally
known TO be such as to guarantee fair and honest
dealing. Life Policies often run long time
long enough to give fancy offices chance to
burst up many times.

opened; and so he spends ten thousand dollars in
rent, for servants, superintendence, &c, while
waiting for his house to become known, and so to

vertislng at the outset, would have saved and
