The Annual General Meeting of this Society was held on the 30 th May , 185-5 . when a Report of the business for the last year was presented , exhibiting a statement of most satisfactory progress- It appeared that during the two last years , 1 S 53 and 1 * 54 , between 800 and 900 new Assurances had been effected , producing an increase of Premium income amounting to £ 14 , 000 per annum . It also appeared that , notwithstanding the extraordinary mortality which prevailed during the last y « ar , in consequence of toe visitation of the cholera-, it had , not been found necessary to reduce , in the slightest , the allowance of 314 per cent , previously awarded to the Policy-holders . Credit is allowed for half the Annual Pi emiums for the first five years . A . R . IRVINE . Managing Director . 14 , Waterloo place , London .
