LIFE ASSURANCE. 
R eport of the select committee of the 
HOUSE of COMMONS, and the DEPOSIT SYSTEM. The new 
and Important teaturo of Life Assurance ndopted by the DEPOSIT 
und GENERAL LIKE ASSURANCE COMPANY. 
The following Is an extract from the Report of the Select Com- 
mittee : — 
“The 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 after the death of their natural 
protectors; unlike any ordinary transaction of trude, a contract once 
entered into cannot be discharged or abandoned, II doubts of the 
stability of an office should arise, without a sacrifice of promlunis paid 
in past years, and the necessity of effecting new policies in other ottleca 
at increased rates of premium," owing to the greater ago of tho assured; 
persons are thus placed In the anxious and unhappy dilemma of being 
compelled to persevere In paying premiums from year to year, with some 
suspicion and doubt as to the ultimate advantage of doing so, or of in- 
curring the serious loss which, under tho most favourable circumstances, 
must attend the abandonment or sale of o 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 contravy, 1m may pay 
such amounts, and at such times, as he may find money convenient; 
lie can stop paying whenever he pleases and lie cun withdraw the 
whole or part of his premiums. If tho whole be withdrawn the policy 
is c ncellcd ; if part only, then the value of tho policy Is diminished by 
the assured value of tho part withdrawn. 
A. B., aged 20, opens a deposit policy with a payment ot 51., which it 
will be seen lie increases from time to time, und occasionally diminishes. 
For example— The following abstract of a Ledger Account will 
show the operat ion of tho schem e _r
