EPORT [PORT] of the Procedure at the Thirty-Sixth Annual General Court of this Society, held on the Sth [St] March, 1850) [W) the-Hon. Lord Cockburn in the chair. The THIRTY-SIXTH ANNUAL GENERAL COURT of this Societv [Society] was held in Edinburgh on the 5th March, 1850. The Hea. [He] LORD COCKBURN in the chair. The Manager read to the Court various statements rela- [real- relative] tive [tie] tu the Socict 's [Society 's] affairs, from which it appeared- [appeared] 1. That during the year 1849 the total number of policies actually passed and issued was 600, covering insurances to the extent of 422,065. 11s. , 2. That the penta [pent] of this Society at 31st [st] December, 1849, was 2,167,506. 9s. 1d., having increased during the year to the extent of 112,957 16s. 2d. 3. That the ammuai [ama] revenue of the Society at the same date was 30,5371. 1 s, 6d., being a decrease since last year, arising froin [from] the reduction in the rte of interest during the ' currency ef the year. 4. That the number of deaths which bad occurred during the vear [year] 1849 was 111, the swms [sums] insured under the policies which have emerged im [in] consequence of these deaths being 117,622 10s,, or with bonus additions, 148,324 12s. 3d. 5. That the above sum of 117,621. 1Us., [us] and the number of deaths were in the ratio of 68 per cent. of what might have been expected, according to the tables of mortality upon which the Sucicty's [Society's] calculations are based. The accoracy [accuracy] ef the statements read having been con- [confirmed] firmed by the Auditor, The Chairman, addressing the Meeting, said-The Man- [Manager] ager [age] has now read certein [certain] papers, and made certain state- [statements] ments, [rents] which contain a faithful exposition of the exact state of our affairs. He dene so, I really am not aware what I can do te add either to your information or to your consequent contiderce [considers] in this Institution. Your confidence must depend on the fects [facts] you have heard frum [from] him; and were it not the usage that the person who cecupics [scopes] the place which I have the honour to occupy is expected to niake [Intake] sore address, I think the most judicious thing I could do weulkl [weekly] be te maintain silence. At the same time, how- [however] ever, it has often occured [occurred] to me, and it occurs to me now, that recapitulatio [recapitulation] nin [in] a quite way, and in ordinary language, of the almost technical statements made by the Manager, may sink more deeply into your minds, and be more casily [easily] carried away (applause); and therefore allow me to recall to you a few of the leading facts which you have (Renewed apphause. [applause] ) One of the first cf these-at least the ore that leads me to consider the remark have to make first-is one that I was not aware of inyself [itself] till very recently, which is the view exhibited of the progress cf this Institution by our mere numbers. do not here speak of the swns [Sons] insured, of our Investments, of our securivies, [securities] or of anything of that sort. Look at our mere number. I know no better test of a so- [society] like this being we'l manag [manage] -d,-of there not only being no susp'cion [sus'Lion] in regard to it, but that public confidence has been always on the invrexse, [inferences] than in the increase of the 1 number ef its interested members--of members, I mean, who have no interest but pure selfishness-who are .as an- [anxious] xivus [xiv us] c3 men can be to protect themselves from miscenduct, [conduct] in order that if timeously detected, it may be timevusly [timeously] Now 1 tind [tins] that in the year 1815, when the te t emrected, [erected] Suciety [Society] was instituted, we began with a smali [small] nest ege [age] o 49 (laughter); and it did not look well for the year ls that the eves laid then wereouly [weekly] 17. (Renewed lauyh- [laugh- laughter] ter). [te] Talso [Also] find that during the first six years of the Society's existence 2 2 were the sum total of our chickens. (Laughter). And here may observe that the tist [list] thing that strikes me is the yreat [great] caution with which the Rves [Revs] must have been selected, tor of the 44 members who were admited [admitted] in 1815 (35 years ago) 11 still renrain [refrain] upon the books, after dedact- [deduct- deducting] iug [ing] many who surrendered their policies, and who, fer aught we know, way 'be living still, Then of the 17 who joined thein [then] in the year 1810, after deducting many surrenderers, [surrender] i there are atifi [fiat] three won the books; and of the 212 who juined [joined] the Society daring the first six years of its existence, nearly #) surrendered their policies, but 4 still survive. (Appivse.) [apprise] These seem to mie [me] to neve [never] been well-selected lives, (hear, bear). and the result now is that, at the end of 38 yeurs, [years] the number ef our members amounts, nut io one thousand, nor to two, nor to three, nor to four, nor to tive, [tie] noreven [revenge] to six, but to nbove [above] six thousand. (Applause), We have now above 6,0u0 [6,u] tnsared [insured] lives. From this tact J dufer [defer] nothing but this-that, since we have su many jealous but uncomplaining cyes [yes] prying into us, presume that we eannot [cannot] be an il-managed body. The business done during the year 1849, after deductioa [deduction] cveral [several] policies which were cancelled, amornts [amount] to above 22,(001.; 22,(W] that is 10 say, that last year the which we effected amounted to that sum. The iumber [number] ot pelcies [policies] on these imsuraaces [Insurances] wnowmiis [worms] to 600, being ef the average over all-vhich, [all-which] Tem [Te] teld. [ted] is a Ligh [Light] no less than 7002. on every policy. The capital has increased during the rear that jis [his] now closed by above 160,000 .; [W,W] wend the total capital that xe own now amounts to 4,167,8060.; that is to shy, in round numbers, Which will be far more Consi- [Cons- Considerably] derahly [dearly] above two millions efmeney, [ermine] The statement that we have abere [aber] tvo [to] mil'ions- [ions hat] hat is to say, that We otght [ought] to hive it,-wonld [it,-would] be a very idie [die] one, if our were not well invested many ain [in] thinks he has, and he ought to hase [has] it; bet wher [her] he comes to zrasp [grasp] it, it cludes [clouds] the closing hand; and, therefore, it is of vita and all-important consequence to be tolit [toilet] in this place, that of ovr [or] Mmvesiments, [Movements] so far as we Lave discovered, we have never yet made a single bad one, (Applese). [Applause] These in- [investment] vestinents [intestines] are, for the most part, Lud [Lid] out, on real seeurity [security] --Limean [Elliman] within Scotland, the best country, in my beef, for real security in Hurepe; [Europe] and, besides this, u lative [native] por- [or- portion] tion [ion] of ovr [or] capital is invested in loans te the members, the security of their policies. What better seeurity [security] can there be thun [thin] that (Hear, hear.) A meiaber, [member] when he dies, is our creditor-say, for 1Ut4 .; [ut] and he asks fora loan of 590 [W] ifthe [if the] policy be of equal value, we ler [Lee] it to him, because we te bim [bi] out of his own money. With such a security we can advance it and as cer- [er- certain] tain [train] of its he isthat [is that] he has claims upen [upon] us. Pari [Paris] of these two millions is laid out in Bank Stock-I mean stock of the chartered Banks of Scotland and the Bank of England, which I believe is a3 secure as cau [ca] be. There is neta [neat] penny of it laid out in any bank stock of which a sit- [deposit] ' gde [de] individual i private life entertains the sligutest [slightest] doubt, ; A little ef our capite [Capt is laid out in redcomabie [redeemable] annuities, j which, by the jaw of Sectland, [Scotland] as we ell know, fall wader it is laid vut [but] on railway-mark my next werd, [ward] for this first one makes many people tremble-(a langhi-some [lang-some] of it is out on railway debentures. (Applause). Not one siin- [sion- sing] ge sixpence of it--if there was a of it, I would sell you henestly---but [earnestly---but] Lot one single farthing of it is Investe l [Invested l] in rejlway [railway] shares. Une [One] tact whieh [which] I have to state is one which, above all others, testifies the solidity of these invest- [invest] u.ents-and [u.ants-and .ents-and] it is the regularity aud [and] the provyptness [promptness] with which the interest on the loans is invariably paid. Where- [Wherever] cver [ever] an investment is not met by regular payment of the interest, let the creditor Legin [Legion] to tremble. Now, with us, we have never found the least cause for fear ur doubt. The interests, understand, are always paid almost within a day of the time. The resuit [result] T from ail this is, that nui [ni] only are these investments good, but that they are so good, that. better could not he ubtained. [obtained] My beliefs that if these investments were all now threwn [threw] leose, [lose] and the Direc- [Direct- Directors] tors were reavired [repaired] to retrace their steps,. and to get guod [good] -securities, they could, and therefore they would. de nething [nothing] but recur exactly to the securities that they have already , cbtained. [obtained] (Applavse.) [Applause] The 6,060 members of this Society Vn 3 ae, j have laid by above 2,000,000d. of as well-seoured [well-secured] money as can be secured in this werld.

The deatis [deaths] in 1849 are peculiarly instruetive.

We have distributed above 1,100,000 We have relieve to that extent the families of those members who trusted us; and the example that viven [given] by the mafager [manager] so rooral- [Royal- reciprocally] cally, [call] and with such proper 'brevity, of the benefits this Institution, made a great impression upon me, 4s have no doubt it 'did upon the meeting. The case refer to was that ofan [fan] eld [ed] member who died abroad last year, and whe [the] had imsured [insured] three times, each time for 1.0000 Well, he dies, and he has claims upen [upon] ter [te] 3,000 certain. But, besides that, his representatives wi receive consitler- [consider- considerable] ably above 2,000 23a [a] bonus, Thus, upwards of 3.0006. is secured to kis [is] family and, even after paying that, the Society was pias [pits] nearly 1,500 (Applause. ) The next matter which I have to state is, one for which Tam very grateful and it is, that wo have had up to this day, no litigatiean. [litigation] (Langhter [Laughter] and appleuse. [applause] ) Now, what I have stated are the material facts and what else need I say It is not my business, and 2mm [mm] sure it would be no satisfaction to yeu, [ye] if I were to beast of Hie excellence of our system, or the greatness of our success ; and still less would it give any satis'xetion [sates'section] to you if I were to do that from which every respectable society will tur [tue] ever abstain-ihat [abstain-that] of attempting to hse [he] ourselves by a con- [contrast] trast [trust] or comparison, or even by an to kindred institutions. (Amplause.) [Applause] I have stated the facts, end having doue [done] so I can do nv more. Itis [Its] for you to judge how your affairs have been mataced, [mated] and to carry away with you these resolutions or judzments [rudiments] which the stato. [state] ments [rents] you have heard are calculated to produce. My in- [inferences] ferences [references] are merely two. It seems to me in the first place, that this is a Society in which we may have perfect confidence, (Hear, hear.) My belief-kuewing [belief-ewing] as do some- [something] thiny [thin] abou [about] it, ulthouzh [although] not so much certainly-2s many others -is, that our coniidence [confidence] in it may go to this extent, that if we were to beyin [begin] car cxercer [coerce] uguin, [again] with the experience which we have acquired, know many ways in which wo might act differently, but J know ne way in which we could do better. (Applause.) Moralists have often amused selves by speculating about what a man weuld [would] do, if he was to become a bey, with allthe [health] experience of bis manhood. Ef this. society were to do so, I seriously aml [am] rirmly [firmly] believe thav [that] if we were to bein [being] our career m [in] 1515 ee . entered on the duties of the year; and now that wed passed so favourably over so very trying a erisia, [Irish] it ma. interesting to remind you that on the oceasion [occasion] when lera [Lea] first made its appearance amomy [amy] years ago, so great an alarm was excHec [Exchequer] City, meetings were held, at which the propriety of the Offices altogether during its continuance, considered and yet the amount of from . during 1849 greatly exceeded that ot 1s. oy Hitherto the career of the Scottish Provident Instite- [Institute- Institute] has been unvarying success every Succeed '. has been but an echo of that whieh [which] mrewedderd [rewarded] is, prosperity kus [us] been the theme ofall.
