LIFE ASSURANCE. 
■REPORT of the SELECT COMMITTEE of the 
IV HOUSE of COMMONS, and the DEPOSIT SYSTEM. The new 
and important feature of Life Assurance adopted by the DEPOSIT 
and GENERAL LIFE 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 trade, a contract once 
entered into cannot be discharged or abandoned, if doubts of tho 
stability of an office should arise, without a sacrlflco of premiums paid 
in past years, and the necessity of effecting new policies in other offices 
at increased rates of premium, owing to the greater age of tho assured ; 
persons arc thus placed in the anxious and unhappy dilemma of being 
compelled topersevere 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 seriousloss 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 docs not, if desirous of “abandoning” ills 
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 he pleases, and he can withdraw the 
whole or part of his premiums. If the whole bo withdrawn the po icy 
Is cancelled; if part only, then the value of tho policy is diminished by 
the nssured value of the part withdrawn. . . . 
A. B., aged 20, opens a deposit policy with a payment of 51., which it 
will be seen lie increases from time to time, and occasionally diminishes. 
For example.— Tho following abstract of a Ledger Account will 
show the operation of the scheme : —
