The abatement for the year 1858 . on the Annual Premiums of persons who have been assured under Series " 1831 ' for five years or . longer , is upwards of 34 per cent ' The high character which this ancient Corporation has maintained during nearly a Century and a Half , secures to the public a full and faithful declaration of profits .

The fees of Medical Eeferees are paid by the Corporation . Annuities are granted by the Corporation , payable Half-Yearly .
