Most OF the members of Lloyd's

a corporation Lloyds assumes no
financial liability for the failure of any
OF its members or subscribers. But it
admits to membership only men of
reputation and means, who must de-
post pecuniary guarantee in order
to become an underwriting and non

writing member must deposit with the
committee of Lloyd's $4,000 or G6O00.

which may be returned to him lnree
years after he ceases to be an under

scriber pays no entrance fee, but an
annual subscription of guineas; an
associate member pays guineas.
