it opens the door to the possibility of un-

-scrupulous agitators levying blackmail on

a weak company. To a weak company on the

borderland of insolvency according to the

test but with great hope of retrieving its

position the temptation to "buy off" a

threatening agitator would be very great

indeed.

The Standard of Solvency is laid down as the

Combined Experience at 4%.

It may be at once stated that the combined

experience or "seventeen offices experience" is an

absolutely obsolete table which has never been much in use,

and that very few tables have been calculated on its basis.

It is evident that it is adopted in the ordinance because

it is mentioned in the 1872 Act as being the basis on

which the policies are to be valued in the case of a

company being wound up, but I venture to think that had

the framers of the ordinance consulted any British Actuary

on the subject this table would not have been adopted. For

many years past the generally accepted Tables of Mortality

used by British Life Offices have been the Institute of

Actuaries Tables and those have to a certain extent been

ed more recently supplanty by the newer experience OM. The

Institute tables however are certainly better suited to

such a test than the obsolete seventeen offices experience

which has several well founded objections to it, and I

believe, though I cannot speak with certainty on this

point, that despite the provisions of the Acts this table

has never been published in England but that the Courts

have sanctioned the use of the Institute Tables in cases

where a winding up order has been made. I believe however

that some Valuation Tables based upon it at 4% were

published at Boston in 1871.
