Participating and non-participating scales. 
At the first investigation (in August, 1835) a bonus of two-thirds of 
the Company’s savings was allotted to the assured, varying from 20 to 
38 per cent on the premiums paid. But, from the increase of the 
Company’s business, and the consequently diminished risk to the pro- 
prietors, it was resolved that at next septennial investigation (31st 
August, 1842), and in future, one-fifth only should be transferred to the 
guarantee fund, and the remaining four-fifths of the profits allotted to the 
assured. 
Profits may be applied in reduction of the annual premiums or in 
i addition to the sum assured.
