They have not been hindered from this prudent course by the
consideration that when their Guarantee Account was last investigated
it was found that, for a period of six years, the Company had paid
seS8934 SIS. Sd. more, in the shape of Premium to its Guaranteeing
connection, than it received in amount Of Claims.
1t would, however, be inconsistent with true stability of purpose
(which should remain unmoved by accidental or cratic result) if the
Directors were drawn from a prudent course Of action by any expert
ence of this kind, covering a limited space of time only.
Before passing from the subject o. the Fire Department, the DL
rectors would draw brief attention to the favourable effect which would
be produced if a judicial investigation were permitted by legal authority
on the occurrence of fires. It is satisfactory to know that a widespread
this character would be attended with the hapiest results. Such a
system exists, more or less, in many of the Continental cities and the
natural consequence is, that the ratio of fires in several of them is far
less than in the cities and large towns of this kingdom, and that the
protection of Insurance can therefore be obtained at a much less rate of
premium. This is, however, more a general than an exclusively Insur-
ance question, as it effects the whole body of the nation. A welLdigest
ed Act of Legislature for this purpose would materially increase the
general security of life and property, and would ultimately tend to
reduce the Premium for Insurance to an extent which. unless the subject
were duly weighed and examined, would scarcely be imagined.
, 1867-01-08

THE FIRE losses sustained by the ROYAL INSURANCE COMPANY
l have amounted to 8318,946 Os. Cd, or nearly II per cent. of the
Premiums received.
This is 10 per cent. less than the average ratio of loss recently
announced authortatively as falling upon three other wellknown and
highly respectable Establishments of large Revenue during the year
1865.
The progress of the Company, as respects the amount of business
effected, has been satisfactory, the Returns of Duty published by Par
lament, on the motion of the Chairman of this Company, exhibiting by
far the largest measure Of increase u6lcA the Company has evcr, IN its
mos PROSPEROUS times, erperenced.
, 1867-01-08
HALF A MILLION STERLING,

the actual amount being e499,124 As. Sd, a sum larger than che total
amount assured for the entire year commencing the last qulnquennial
period, so that, at any rate for one further year. the impetus of continued
advance is not likely to slacken. In this Department the Shareholders
and Poicyholders have the opportunity, of which it is trusted they will
avail themselves, not only to keep up the high position of the "RoYAL,"
but even to advance it considerably. The result of such an activity on
their part, it is confidently affirmed, would SO tell upon the permanent
prosperity of the Establishment, that the favorable result en- the proper
ty of the Shareholder, and on the profits of the Life Assurer, would be
such as would exceed their highest anticpatons.

THE TOTAL NET AMOUNT OF
FIRE PREMIUM FOR THE YEAR
AFTER DEDUCTING GUARANTEES, IS
&414,733 1885,,

which does not show an advance quite corresponding in comparative
amount with the increase of Duty. This, it should be explained, arises
in some measure from the fact that the Directors, seeing and foreseeing
for some time the unfavorable epoch of Fire Insurance business we are
passing through, voluntarily surrendered a portion of their accruing
advances of Premium for the purpose of protecting themselves by
guarantee from undue limits on any one risk.
Hence in no small degree they consider they owe their exemption
from any very large claim on any single Insurance during the year.
THE LARGEST AMOUNT OF LOSS
ON ANY ONE STRICTLY INDIVIDUAL RISK
