THE LIFE BONUS of this Company, at
last valuation, August, 1868, averaged 46 per
cent of the Premiums paid, in some cases
rising to IS, 70, and even rs per cent. Sub
stantial benefits have therefore been conferred
on its Assurers, and as the Life Liabilities
are valued on the principle of net Premiums,
assuming only 8 per cent. interest-(Me outside
expenses cAargeade to the Life Department
for the General Management Of the Company
being specially limited By the Deed Of Settlement
to 10 per cent. Of the net Life income)-there is
every reason to expect equally good Bonuses
in the future.
