THE FIELD. 
LIFE ASSURANCE. 
DEPORT of the SELECT COMMITTEE of the 
It HOUSE of COMMONS, and the DEPOSIT SYSTEM. Tho n.» 
and Important feature of Life Assurance adopted by tlie DEPOSIT 
and GENERAL LIKE ASSURANCE COMPANY. 
The following is au extract from the Report of the Select Com- 
mittee: — 
“ 1 he objects which persons have in view In effecting Insurances upon 
their lives, are generally of an important and solemn character, viz., 
the provision for widows and orphans alter the death of their natural 
protectors; unlike any ordinary transaction of trade, a contract once 
entered Into cannot bo discharged or abandoned, if doubts of the 
stability of an office should arise, without a sacrifice of premiums paid 
in past years, and the necessity of effecting new policies In other offices 
ut increased rates of premium, owing to thegreator age of the asm red ; 
persons ore thus placed in tho anxious and unhappy dilemma of being 
compelled to persevere in paying premiums from year to yesr, with some 
suspicion and doubt as to the ultimate advantage of doing so, or of in- 
curring the serious loss which, under the most favourable circumstances, 
must attend the abandonment or sale of a policy." 
On the deposit system a person is not “compelled" to pay, from 
“ year to year,” aud he does not, if desirous of “abandoning" his 
policy, incur any "serious loss," but, on the contrary, he may pay 
such amounts, and at such times, as he may find money convenient ; 
he can stop paying whenever lie pleases, and he can withdraw the 
whole or part of his premiums. If the wholo be withdrawn the policy 
Is cancelled; if part only, then the value of the policy is diminished by 
the assured value of the part withdrawn. 
A. B., aged 20, opens a deposit policy with a payment of 6/., which It 
will be seen he Increases from time to time, and occasionally diminishes 
For example. — The following abstract of a Ledger Account will 
show the operation of the scheme ; —

Thus A. B., in ten years, has saved and Invested at different inter- 
vals various sums amounting to 97/., by which he had been insured in 
case of death for 269/. 12s. hi . ; but A. B. requires 22 /., lie draws this 
sum out, and diminishes the value of his policy by CO/. 8s. 3i l. at 
different times, leaving him in case of death a policy for 200/. 4i. II., 
and during his life a fund of 75/. to draw out at any time. In part or 
wholly. 
The first claim settled by the Deposit and General Life Assurance 
Company was upon a deposit of 10/., which a parent made for each of 
five children, instead of adding it to an account they had at the Saving's 
Bank. One of them died a few days after the 10/. was deposited, ond 
the father received 84/. 6s.. being the amount of the deposit policy. 
EXAMPLE No. 2.

has the means, and continues voluntarily, to pay the smne sum every
