expenses of management are just four per cent. Taking the premium income and interest income you will find that is the amount, and if you look into our office you will see that although we have good clerks we have few of them. Now I come to the point with reference to the loans, and I will make an appeal to our brother shareholders that they should influence a little more certain business in the way of policies. I am going to divide the loans into two classes, and first I will divide them in this way. The total amount of new business of 1881 is £389,991. Although the directors have brought us £42,000 the shareholders, I am sorry to say, have only brought £9,000, so I hope the shareholders in future will do a little more. Solicitors, not shareholders, have brought us £88,000, the officers have brought £22,000, and I think they have done their duty fairly well. Other offices, from whom, of course, we get a good deal and give a good deal of business, have brought us £91,000, and from other sources, public and general, we have had £35,000. I will divide the amount in another way into policies with loans and policies without loans, and we find the policies with loans are £121,000, while the policies without loans are £268,000. Thus the loans bring us a large amount of business, and inasmuch as Mr. Berridge tells me for the purposes of this calculation you must exclude the business coming from other offices, the result is that nearly one-half of our business is in connection with loans. A good life interest in a good estate with a policy connected with it is the best business we can have. We have bitherto done this at the rate of five per cent., and probably when money gets tighter again we shall be able to command that amount. I may mention in connection with this that the utmost care is given to our securities. There is a standing committee, and once a year every security is gone through in the most careful way. We have books in which fall particulars are entered, and I do not think it is possible to have a more careful lending of our money on securities, or of taking more care in their selections than we do. Another matter, and that is entirely a new one. We have had a new prospectus prepared during the last year, and those of you who have simply looked at the oatside will not, I hope, fail to look in the inside. The number of tables has considerably increased. We have varied the manner in which we offer terms to the public, and have introduced one on which my mind bas been for some time running. In the Law Life-in which I was insured before I became a shareholder in this office-when a bonus is declared, it is added to the policy, the premium is reduced, and that reduction goes through the whole of the life. When the next term comes with a bonus and a reduction, it operates on the reduction-and so on. But with us hitherto, at the end of the five years-when the reduction has taken place the premium goes on to its own old level again, to be reduced probably by the profit of the next five years; but I much prefer a permanent premium reduction. We have now a table by which those who choose to take the profit in this way will have the option of doing 80. Mr. Berridge, who has to be our inspiration in such matters, tells us that our policies without profits were rather too near our policies with profits; in other words, people were prevented from taking these because they seemed so near the policies without profits. We have reduced them slightly, and have now a rate of premiums without profits, which we think are fairer and better ones. If you look into the prospectus you will find other tables have been added, and on the whole I believe there is no other office which gives so great a variety of modes of insuring life as we now do. I have said already something about the staff. You will remember that on a former occasion one of you said we ought to pay our staff well. Every five years at least we have a complete revision of the whole staff, and we endeavour to do our duty by them; and whenever the time comes for our giving a further increase which they deserve, you may depend on it it will not be forgotten by the directors. There are few places in London which can compare with ours. Having made these few observations, I again repeat that I believe our figures can prove all that I have said, and 1 would move the adoption of the report.

Mr. BRISTOWE.-I have great pleasure in seconding the adoption of the report, and alter the full statement made by our chairman I think there is little I need add.

The resolution, after some discussion, was then put and carried unanimously.

Mr. EILOART proposed the re-election of the retiring directors, the Hon. Mr. Justice Denman, Mr. Staveley Hill, Mr. Bristowe, and Mr. Horace

Smith.

Mr. BOODLE seconded the resolution which was carried.

Mr. LEMON proposed the re-election of the retiring auditors, Mr. Bailey and Mr. Pitcairn, which was duly seconded and carried.

Mr. J. H. JAMES proposed that the thanks of the meeting be presented to the directors, and that the sum of £2,500, free of income tax, be voted to them for their services during the past year.

The resolution was seconded and carried.

The CHAIRMAN replied and said he had a pleasing duty to perform; he had already said what he thought of the staff; of Mr. Berridge it was impossible to speak too highly, and the board had the utmost confidence in him. They had also an excellent staff. He had, therefore, much pleasure in proposing a vote of thanks to Mr. Berridge and the staff for their services during the past years.

The resolution was seconded and cordially received.

Mr. BERRIDGE.-I beg to thank you for the kindness with which you have passed this resolution. It is now some years since we met with some little criticism, but it has always been friendly, and on behalf of myself and the staff I beg to thank you.

The meeting then separated.

At the Mansion House Police Court on Monday, Mr. William Warwick King attended before the Lord Mayor upon four summonses at the instance of the Incorporated Law Society, charging him with an infringement of the 12th section of the Attorneys and Solicitors Act, 1874, which provides that any person who wilfully and falsely pretended to be, or took or used any name, title, description, or addition implying that he was duly qualified to act as an attorney or solicitor, should be liable to a penalty not exceeding £10 for each offence. He pleaded "Guilty." Mr. C. O. Humphreys, solicitor, who appeared for the society, stated that the defendant had been practising as a solicitor at 68, Cheapside, and in the matter of a bankruptcy proceeding against a Mr. Cressall he had signed and attested a petition of the bankrupt, and made an affidavit and issued notices from his offices in the capacity of a solicitor. The formal proof of qualification as a solicitor was the production of a duly stamped certificate, which cos £9 a year to London solicitors and less to those in the country. The defendant had not taken out a certificate since 1878. The Incorporated Law Society Bartley, Wallace, Rainhill, Lancaster, Commercial Traveller. Pet Mar 8. Bellringer. had no animus whatever in the matter, but they had taken the case up as a public duty. The Act was passed for the protection of the profession and the public alike. He did not wish the court, to impese a penalty of £10 for each of the four offences, but if Mr. King would undertake publicly to cease practising until he obtained a certificate only one penalty would be asked for. Mr. King, the defendant, said he was willing to give that undertaking, but, as his circumstances had been very bad of late, he asked the court to allow him time even to pay a fine of £10. He promised to pay that amount within two months. The Lord Mayor said it was quite clear that the Act had been infringed, not only in one instance, but continuously and systematically, and he was sure that the prosecution would not bave been instituted without good cause. He fined the defendant £10 and 8s. costs, with the alternative of six weeks' imprisonment. The fine was paid.
