A Special Act has passed through the House of Assembly, authorising this Company to sue and bo sued by its Attorney iu New Zealand. It may be interesting to its clients to know that this Company was founded at the time when limited liability was unknown. Its history involves continuous reference to tires of great magnitude in which it has been largely concerned. Now almost forgotten is the Rateliffe fire of 1794, in which in paid in its early days, £50,000. In 1807 it paid £200,000 for a fire at St. Thomas, West Indies. In 1842, for the great Hamburg fire, £216,000. -In 1846, £114,000 for the Are at Newfoundland. In 1801, £130,000 for the Tooley-street fire, and in Chicago and Boston fires, respectively, £100,000 and £60,000. Its reserves now amount to over a MILLION sterling, and its numerous wealthy proprietors, with unlimited liability, furnish an undoubted guarantee of security to policy-holders. Its agents throughout the Colony are prepared to accept Fire Risks at current rates, and promptness combined with liberality is a characteristic feature in dealing with those who entrust their interests to its care.
