LIFE ASSURANCE. 
E EPORT of the SELECT COMMITTEE of the 
1 HOUSE of COMMONS, and the DEPOSIT SYSTEM. Tho new 
and important ieaturo of Life Assurance adopted by tho DEPOSIT 
and 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, aro generally of an important and solemn character, vix., 
the provision for widows and orphans alter the death of their natural 
protectors; unlike any ordinary transaction of trade, a contract oneo 
entered into cannot be discharged or abandoned, II donbts of tho 
stability of an office should arise, without a sacrifice of premiums paid 
In past years, and the necessity of effecting now policies In other offices 
at increased rates of premium, owing to the greater age of tho assured ; 
persons aro thus placed In tho 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 advantuge of doing so, or of in- 
curring the serious loss which, under the most favourable circumstances, 
must attend tho abandonment or sale of a policy." 
On tho deposit system a person is not "compelled" to pay, from 
“ year to year," and ho 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 he may find monoy convenient; 
he can stop paying whenever ho pleases, and he can withdraw tho 
whole or part of his premiums. If the whole be withdrawn the policy 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the assured value of the part withdrawn.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 ol 5/., 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 tho operation of the scheme : —
