GREAT BRITAIN MUTUAL LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY . 14 , Waterloo-place , London , and 30 , Brown-street , Manchester . THE CHISHOLM , Chairman . RICHARD HARTLEY KENNEDY , Esq ., Alderman , Deputy-Chairman . This Society is established on the tried and approved principle of Mutual Assurance . The funds 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 in Profits after payment of five annual Premiums . The Annual General Meeting of this Society was held on the 30 th May , 1855 , when a Report of the buxiness for the last year was presented , exhibiting a statement of most satisfactory progress . It appeared that during the two last years , 1853 and 1854 , 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 year , in consequence of the visitation of the cholera , it had not been found necessary to reduce , in the slightest , the allowance of 31 j per cent , previously awarded to the Policy-holders . Credit is allowed for half the Annual Premiums for tho first five years . A . R . IRVINE , Managing Director . 14 , Waterloo place , London .
