LIFE ASSURANCE. 
DEPORT of the SELECT COMMITTEE of the 
It HOUSE of COMMONS, and the DEPOSIT SYSTEM. The new 
and important leaturo of Life Assurance adopted by the DEPOSIT 
and GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY. 
The following is an extract from tho Report of tho Select Com- 
mittee: — 
“The object* which pcr*ons have in view in effecting Insurances upon 
their live*, are generally of an important and solemn character, vi*., 
the provision for widows and orphan* after tho death of their natural 
protectors; unlike any ordinary transaction of trade, a contract once 
entered into cannot be discharged or abandoned, if donbts of tho 
stability of an office ahcmld arise, without a sacrifice of premiums paid 
in past years, and the necessity of effecting new policies in other office* 
at increased rate* of premium, owing to the greater age of the assured ; 
persons are thus placed in the anxious ond unhappy dilemma of being 
compelled to persevere in pay ing premiums from y enr to year, with some 
suspicion and doubt os to the ultimate advantage of doing so, or of in- 
curring tho serious lose which, under tho 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, ho may pay 
such amounts, and at such times, as ho may find money convenient; 
he can stop paying whenover ho pleases, and he can withdraw the 
whole or part of his premiums. If tho whole be withdrawn tho policy 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the assured value of the part withdrawn.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 5/., which it 
will bo seen he increases from time to time, and occasionally diminishes. 
For example— The lollowlng abstract of a Ledger Account will 
show the operation of the achemo : —
