NEW SYSTEM OF LIFE ASSURANCE. THE POSITIVE GOVERNMENT SECURITY LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY LIMITED. CHIEF OFFICES:-34, CANNON STREET, LONDON. The Positive Government Security Life Assurance Company was founded for the purpose of introducing a new system of Life Assurance, which confers upon the assured several important advantages never before presented to the public. The Positive system, while it gives to Life Assurance a new and valuable character, by providing the highest order of security in the world for the assured, and sweeps away all the harassing conditions and technicalities which surround ordinary Life Assurance, while it puts an end to policy forfeiture, and provides the assured with a negotiable property for every premium paid, does not disturb the scientific principles on which Life Assurance has so long and safely rested. An ordinary policy is full of most stringent conditions, perplexing in its terms, difficult of transfer, dependent on the regular payment of premiums throughout life, as well as on the observance of strict rules regarding residence and occupation, liable to forfeiture of all sums paid to the Company, possessing no fixed surrender value, giving the assured no control or power of supervision during life, and affording no means of proof to the uninitiated, that security exists for payment of claims. In the face of these glaring defects the Positive policy is perfectly simple in language, intelligible to the most illiterate, and free from conditions, except for payment of a definite number of premiums, according to the election of the assured. As each payment of the premium is made Positive notes are issued which gradually take the place of the policy, and are, in fact, policies payable to bearer, independent of any future payment by the assured. The death of the assured renders them an absolute claim for the amount they represent; a fixed value is given for surrender or loan, during life, of not less than 40 per cent. of the premiums paid to the Company; all premiums to that extent are a deposit with the office instead of an absolute payment, while at the same time they secure greater advantages to the assured than an absolute payment to an ordinary office can possibly afford; and, above all, forfeiture is made an absolute impossibility. Under all possible contingencies the assured in the Positive exercises independent control over the office; he can at any time retire from it without loss; his position is defined when he pays his first premium, and nothing can occur to deprive him of the benefits he has purchased. By the unalterable conditions of carefully framed deeds all net premiums on each insurance are invested as trust funds in Government Securities, which (with interest) are set apart in the hands of trustees, exclusively for the purpose of paying claims; and these net premiums being so fixed as to cover all risks, and the investment of the trust funds for Great Britain being made wholly in Consols, the value of the security afforded to an assured can be tested at any time to the smallest fraction, without actuarial or other skilled aid being required, and the intrinsic value of a policy can be ascertained without the possibility of error. THE LEGAL PRACTITIONERS' SOCIETY. THIS HIS SOCIETY has for its object the reform of the unsatisfactory state of the Legal Profession. The want of such a Society has long been felt, and the demand for it has been rendered all the more imperative by recent and impending legislative changes in our judicial system. Although its basis is thus restricted, it will have no lack of work to perform. Among the many subjects which engage its attention may be mentioned the following: 1. To adjust the relations of the two branches of the Legal Profession, as well inter se as in reference to the Public. 2. To protect the Legal Profession against the encroachments of unqualified and unauthorised persons. 3. To exercise a vigilant supervision over all proposed legislation affecting the Profession, and to initiate such legislation when found to be necessary or advantageous. Members of the Legal Profession of every degree, whether Barristers-at-Law, Attorneys-at-Law, Solicitors, Special Pleaders, Conveyancers, or Proctors, and Law Students, are eligible for Membership. The Annual Subscription of Ordinary Members is fixed at the almost nominal amount of FIVE SHILLINGS, to secure the adhesion of as many members of the Profession as possible. The Annual Subscription of Vice-Presidents and Law Societies is ONE GUINEA. Donors of FIVE GUINEAS are eligible as Life Vice-Presidents. Any further information may be obtained from the Honorary Secretary, CHARLES FORD, Esq., at the Office of the Law Times, 10, Wellington-street, London, W.C., to whom all Communications should be addressed by Members of the Legal Profession. Subscriptions for 1875 are now payable to the Hon. Treasurer, W. T. CHARLEY, Esq., D.C.L., M.P., 5, Crown Office-row, Temple, E.C.; or at the Society's Bankers, Union Bank (Chancery-lane Branch). Several Law Societies (including those at Bristol, Devonport, Hull, Stockport, Portsmouth, Carnarvon and Anglesea, Huddersfield, and Plymouth) have already joined the Society, and many members of the Profession hav become Vice-Presidents of it, while the number of ordinary members is steadily increasing.
