Its history involves continuous reference to fires of great magnitude in which it has been largely concerned. .Now almost forgotten is the Radcliffe lire in 1794, in which it 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 Hamburgh fire, £216,000. hi 1846, £114,000 for the fire at Newfoundland. In 1861, £180,000 for the Tooley-street tire, and in Chicago and Boston fires respectively £100,000 and £50,000. Its RESERVES now amount to over a MILLION STERLING, and its numerous wealthy proprietors, with UNLIMITED LIABILITY, furnish an undoubted guarantee of security to policyholders.
