THE STANDARD LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, ESTABLISHED 1825. CONSTITUTED BY SPECIAL ACTS OF PARLIAMENT. ANNUAL REPORT, 1867. THE FORTY-FIRST ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the STANDARD LIFE JL ASSURANCE COMPANY was held at Edinburgh, on Wednesday the 8th of May, 1867,— H. MAXWELL INGLIS, Esq., P.C.S., in the Chair. TTHE MANAGER submitted to the Meeting— REPORT by the DIRECTORS as to the PROGRESS of the BUSINESS during the Year 1866. The Annual Report on the Books and Accounts by the Auditor of the Company, certifying that he had found the whole Accounts accurately stated and properly vouched. Balance-Sheet of the Company's Affairs, certified by the Auditor and three of the Directors, in accordance with the Acts of Parliament constituting the Company. A General and Comparative Statement explanatory of the Progress of the Business from 1825 to 1866. THE REPORT submitted by the DIRECTORS was shortly as follows The Board of Directors have again the pleasure of congratulating the Proprietors of the Company on its continued satisfac- tory progress. On occasion of the last Annual General Meeting in the Spring of 1866, the Directors had the pleasure of reporting the pro- gress and completion of large and important negotiations-namely, the transfer of the business of the MINERVA and VICTORIA OFFICES, and the successful amalgamation with the COLONIAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, all of which brought new connec- tions and varied advantages to the Institution. In May 1866 the satisfactory result of the Quinquennial Investigation into the Company's Affairs, and Division of profits, as at 15th November 1865, was reported, when the Company commenced the work of another lustrum, strengthened by its new and extended connections, supported on a broader basis, and full of confidence in the future, arising from the thorough inves- tigation which its Affairs had undergone with a successful and satisfactory issue. The first year of the new period has been marked, the Directors have pleasure in reporting, by complete success not only as regards the New Business transacted, but what is equally, if not more, important, the thorough and complete retention of the interests and connections of those Companies whose business was transferred to, or amalgamated with the STANDARD, The New Business, however, is perhaps the most tangible exponent of this statement, and the Directors are satisfied to rely on it as the test of their assertion. T J. HE following are the Results of the Business for the year under review AMOUNT PROPOSED FOR ASSURANCE during the year 15th November, 1865, to 15th November, 1866, XI,439,927 0 4 NUMBER OF PROPOSALS FOR ASSURANCE, 2389 AMOUNT OF ASSURANCES ACCEPTED, XI,190,281 11 2 NUMBER OF ASSURANCES COMPLETED, exclusive of Annuities, 2013 AMOUNT OF ANNUAL PREMIUMS on New Business. X38,918 19 11 AMOUNT OF CLAIMS BY DEATH, exclusive of Bonus Additions, X314,376 3 10 ANNUAL REVENUE, S675,267 6 8 ACCUMULATED FUND, X3,700,005 1 4 These figures represent numerous interests and an important trust, not much fewer than 2S,000 persons holding Policies from the Institution. They are also a sure test of the confidence placed in the Institution by the public and the Directors, impressed with the responsibility which such a trust involves, make it their study to conduct the business on the soundest principles, free from speculation or undue anxiety to make profits. In accordance with these principles, the Directors have confined the Investment of the Company's large Funds to thoroughly reliable securities, preferring for the great bulk of their Investments the Mortgage of land at fair rates of interest to increased returns on Investments of a less certain nature; and in proof of this they request attention to the following Statement, show- ing the Company's Investments as at 15th November, 1866 :— Mortgages and other Landed Securities, £ 2,535,748 14 6 Government Securities, 86 782 17 2 Loans on the Company's Policies within their Surrender Value, 198^610 2 5 Stocks and Debentures 218*313 9 6 Bank Balances, Agents'Balances, and Premiums in which Days af Grace are current, 323,675 2 0 Invested abroad in connection with Colonial business, 49^275 17 2 Life Annuities and Reversions purchased 34*403 14 9 Various other Investments, 253) 195 3 10 R3,700,005 1 4 The Directors are satisfied that all interested will approve of this course of procedure, To all other points of Management the attention of the Directors is carefully directed. The records of the Company's tran- sactions have been brought into the most thorough state of efficiency, after giving effect to the transfers and amalgamation which have been carried through—a matter of the greatest importance in connection with transactions of such magnitude • and the endeavour of the Directors in future will be to conduct the Institution in such a manner as to devolop the resources at its command without seeking further extension of its field of action, making it their study to produce as much profit as they ean, consistently with liberal dealing, for the advantage of all interested. THE REPORT was unanimously adopted. rpHE ELECTION OF NEW DIRECTORS, to supply the places of those who retire by rotation, in terms of the Company's H Acts of Parliament, followed.

THE facts which have been elicited by the Trades' Union inquiry at Sheffield have astounded us all by their startling and horri- ble details. We have had, it appears, in our midst a conspiracy rivalling in its unscrupu- lous ferocity the Vehmgerieht of the middle ages, and carried on for very many years with remarkable secrecy and impunity. Nor should we even now get at the facts, were it not for the wise provision in the Act giving powers to the court of inquiry to indemnify all persons, even if guilty of the highest crimes, against the consequences of their acts if they were fully and unreservedly revealed to the Com- mission. Our readers will remember that this clause in the bill was strongly opposed during its passage through the House of Commons; but the result has proved how necessary and judicious was the proposal. It is not that any new circumstances have ¡ come to light with regard merely to the number of crimes committed by trades' union- ists in Sheffield. The black catalogue was well known to the public before, although it assumes its right proportions when the various items in the list are recalled to the memory by the present proceedings. Everyone knew how persons who had given offence to the unionists had been shot down from time to time like dogs, to say nothing of minor acts of ven- geance, and how—more diabolical still—the lives of entire families had been jeopardised without scruple for the sake of obtaining revenge upon the one person in a house who might have excited their animosity. But it was not known that these outrages, instead of being, as was generally supposed, the acts of individuals more unscrupulous than their com- rades, and perhaps animated by no small share of personal ill-will, were directly planned and paid for by the heads of an organisation, acting with the connivance of the entire body, and carried out by persons who in some cases had never seen the victims before. It was, in fact, a society that placed gunpowder at a man's door in the night, to blow him and all his household in the air; and a society that, by their agents, followed a man about night after night, until an opportunity was found to leave him either dead or maimed for life. The discovery proves that we have not only an occasional savage, but a race of savages among us, and reveals a depth of ferocity which must be felt as a disgrace, not only by the working men of the country, but by the entire nation. The exposure which has already been made may be supplemented by other revelations of a similar kind, but it cannot be exceeded in the revolting nature of its details. For 15 or XIO," for instance, one man was hired to throw a can of powder down the chimney of a person who had admittedly done no harm whatever to the society, but the object was to alarm his brother-in-law," who was living in the same house. Attempts were frequently made to blow up ho uses in which non-society men were working, the price of hiring being about the same as in the case just mentioned. The charge for shooting a man ranged from LIO to £ 30. All this money came out of the trade funds, no questions being asked by the contributors, who knew that they were not expected to inquire very closely into how their subscriptions were disposed of. Indeed the whole tendency of the evidence is to show that the members of the saw-grinding and other trades were fully aware that a portion of their weekly payments were devoted to the lesser acts of vengeance known as u rattening," and they must also have known that the more atrocious outrages occasionally perpetrated were being done on their behalf by the lead- ers to whom they had given carte Uanche. It is surprising how well the secret has hitherto been kept amongst them. The despicable exhibition made in the wit- ness box by Broadhead and others, the leaders and chiefs of the society, must bring some sense of shame to their followers and com- panions, if they have never felt it, for the acts of guilt to which they have confessed. While carrying out in -private the most diabolical schemes, Broadhead, for instance, admitted that he wrote letters to the papers expressing on the part of himself and his colleagues the greatest abhorrence of such acts; and Skid- more, the president of the Saw-makers Society, after being a party to the blowing up of Fearnehough, acknowledged that he took the chair at a public meeting of his trade, when a resolution was passed asserting" that they viewed with feelings of indignation and abhorrence the foul and dastardly outrage Such hypocrisy and cowardise brand the par- ties, if they were not sufficiently branded before, as villians of the deepest dye. It even destroys the satisfaction with which the public might have otherwise leceived the expression of disapproval now being made by kindred societies, when we remember that these outrages were spoken of in terms of equal condemnation by the secretary who was actually engaged in their perpetration. From beginning to end the whole inquiry forms an appaling history, which deserves the most careful perusal. It serves to show how little the vast organisations of churches and schools have done as yet to leaven the great mass of our manufacturing population with the prin- ciples of morality and justice; how much still remains to be done, and how persevering and gigantic must be the effort which the revela- tion of such a state of morality calls upon the whole country to put forth.
