I now have the pleasure to enclose a

duplicate of that portion of my Report on Hongkong legislation

which I addressed to you on 4th. instant, and by this mail I

also send you two more copies of my paper upon Life Insurance

Legislation, and one copy of my Report to the Canadian Companies

on the same subject, and ▾ now proceed to complete my Report,

and to deal in a brief way with a few points of more or less

detail. Until it is seen whether there is any intention of

revising the Ordinance, it would scarcely he worth while to go

minutely into the question, but a criticism of a few points

culled from the Ordinence will show in what direction revision

would be advantageous.

2. Revenue Account. A separation is here required

between new and renewal premiums, but it is not explained so

far as I can see what is meant by the term "new policies".

Probably the words mean policies issued during the financial

year of the Company to which the particular account refers,

but it is not stated how half-yearly, quarterly, etc., premiums

are to be dealt with where the premium for a full year does not

fall due within the financial year. Are the outstanding instal-

-ments to be brought in as part of the year's revenue, and to

be entered in the Balance Sheet as outstanding premiums al-

-though they are not actually due; or are the instalments

actually received in the year to be alone treated as new

business, and are the instalments which were outstanding at the

end of that year to be brought into the account next year as renewal
