HIS Society is established on the tried and approved principle of Mutual Assurance. The fund are accumulated for the exclusive benefit of the Policy-holders, under their own immediate superintendence and control. The Profits are divided annually, and applied in reduction of the current Premiums. Policy-holders participate Profits after payment of five annual Premiums.

The Annual General Meeting was held on the 28th May last, when an elaborately detailed Report of the affairs of the Institution was presented to the Members. After a rigid investigation, it was satisfactorily ascertained that the state of the funds was such that the Policy-holders allowances might be safely increased, during the present year, from 31½ to 32½ per cent., whilst it was clearly shown that, from the extreme care and caution observed in avoiding any under apprpriation of the surplus, such allowances would, hereafter, from time to be considerably augmented. It was also clearly shown that the amount of business transacted during the past and preceding years was such as to prove incontestably that the Society firmly maintains its footing, and enjoys, to the fulllest extent, the confidence and support of the public.

The Members present at the Meeting were fully satisfied with the Report, and resolved unanimously that a reduction of 32½ per cent should be made in the current years Premium payable by all Policy-holders now entitled to participate in the Profits.

Credit is allowed for half the Annual Premiums for the first five years.
