LIFE ASSURANCE. 
DEPORT of the SELECT COMMITTEE of the 
-It HOUSE of COMMONS, and tho DEPOSIT SYSTEM. Tho now 
and important feature of Life Assurance adopted by the DEPOSIT 
an ,d GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY. 
The following is an extract from tho Report of tho 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 bo discharged or abandoned, if doubts of tho 
stability of an office should arise, without a sacrifice of premiums paid 
In post years end the necessity of effecting now policies in other offices 
at increased rates of premium, owing to the greater ago of tho assured ; 
persons are thus placed in the anxious and unhappy dilomma 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 a policy.” 
On the deposit system a person Is not ''compelled” to pay, from 
“year to year,” and ho docs not, if desirous of “abandoning” his 
policy, Incur any "serious loss,” but, on tho contrary, ho may pay 
such amounts, and at such times, as ho may find money convenient; 
ho can stop paying whenever he pleases, and ho enn withdraw the 
whole or part of his premiums. If the whole be withdrawn the policy 
is cancelled; if part only, then tho value of tho policy Is diminished by 
the assured value of the part withdrawn.

Thus A. B., in ten years, has saved and invested at different inter- 
vals various sums amounting to 67/., by which he had been insured in 
case of death for 260/. 12i. 7 </.; but A. B. requires 22/., he draws this 
sum out, and diminishes the value of his policy by 60/. Sr. 3d. at 
different tlme9, leaving him in case of death a policy for 200/. 4*. 4 ,/., 
and during Ills life a lund 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, and 
the father received 34/. 6s., being the amount of the deposit policy. 
EXAMPLE No. 2.
