LIFE ASSURANCE. 
■REPORT of the SELECT COMMITTEE of the 
It HOUSE of COMMONS, and the DEPOSIT SYSTEM. The new 
and Important leature of Life Assurance adopted by the DEPOSIT 
and GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY. 
The following is on 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, viz., 
the provision for widows and orphans after the death of.thelr natural 
protectors; unlike any ordinary transaction of trade, a contract once 
entered into cannot bo discharged or abandoned, if doubts of the 
stability of an office should arise, without a sacrifice 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 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 the most favourable circumstances, 
must attend tho abandonment or sale of a policy.” 
On the deposit system a person is not “compelled" to pay, from 
“year to year," and he does not, if desirous of “abandoning'’ his 
policy, incur any “serious loss,” but, on the contrary, he may pay 
such amounts, and at such times, as he may find money convenient; 
ho can stop paying whenever he pleases, and he can withdraw the 
whole or part of his premiums. If tho whole be withdrawn the policy 
is cancelled; if part only, then the value of tho policy is diminished by 
the assured value of the part withdrawn. 
A. B., aged 20, opens a deposit policy with a payment of 51., 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 the operation of tho scheme : —

TO PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY. 
cm —I suffered for a considerable period from a severe attack of 
Ervsi'pelas, which at length settled In my leg, and resisted all medical 
treatment. My sufferings were very great, and 1 quite despaired of 
v De rmanent amendment, when I was advised to have recourse to 
v our Ointment and Pills. I did so without delay, and am happy to 
«av the result was eminently successful, for they effected a radical 
cure ot my leg, and restored me to the enjoyment of health. I shall 
ever speak with tho utmost confidence of your medicines, and have 
recommended them to others in this neighbourhood similarly afflicted, 
who derived equal benefit. 
1 am, Sir, your obliged and faithful Servant,

vals various sums amounting to 97/., by which he had been Insured in 
case of death for 260/. 12*. Id.; but A. B. requires 22/., he draws this 
sum out, and diminishes the vuluo of his policy by 60/. 8*. 3 d. at 
different times, leaving him in case of death a policy for 200/. 4*. id., 
and during his life a fund of 75/. to draw out at auy time, In part or

The first claim settled by the Deposit and General Life Assurance 
Company was upon a deposit of 10/., which a parent made for each oi 
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/. 6*., being the amount of the deposit policy.
