This Society has been established principally to enable persons whose income is dependent on life , to secure annuities to their Widows , Children , or Pther relatives . To persons in trade it holds out the additional advantage , that the annuity cannot be sold or lost under any contingency , so long as the rules of the Society are complied with . The annual subscription fees , & c , are regulated at the lewest rate ppssihle to secure the object which the Society has in view . And the profits which trading companies very fairly divide , are in this Society turned into the course of reversionary Annuities to surviving Nominees .
Annuities may be secured to male relatives for life , if idiots or cripples , on payment of additional premiums No Member can take more than Four Annuities , of which only Two can be granted to one Nominee . The premiums of all Members must be paid for five years before their Nominees can receive Annuties ; but the Nominees of Members who may die previous to the expiration of that time , can be relieved from further payments , on giving notice in writing of their inability to continue them ; in such cases tbe amount unpaid , with five per cent , interest thereon , will be deducted from their annuities when payable . —All Premiums must be paid in advance .
The Disparity Money may be paid either in one payment or by instalments , as specified at the head of tbe Disparity Table . Persons are not required to nominate at the time of beepming Members , but may dp sp at any future peried , without an extra charge , ( except for disparity of age , ) on satisfactory proof of Health . Should they , being Bachelors or Widowers , marry after joining the Society , and nominate Wives , the Annuties will then be claimable on tbe completion of five years from the period of their admission , instead of waiting , as in all other cases , till the expiration of five years from the date of nomination .
Members are entitled to a Nomination as often as death occurs , on proof being given pf the health of the party nominating . The Committee meet every Wednesday , at three o ' clock , for tbe admission of Members , and dispatch of business , when Candidates must appear before them for examination . The Annuity ceases to be payable to a Widow on her remarrying ; but in case of her again becoming a Widow , she may receive her Annuity as before ; other Female Nominees cease to he Annuitants on Marriage , but will be again placed on the Funds should thai
become Widows . . Thus this Institution recommends itself to all persons who are desirous of making provision for their Widows , Orphans , and other relatives , by such small annual payments as will not materially infringe on their domestic comforts . The Annuities increase as the fund advances , and are regulated by valuations of competent actuaries every five years ; they are payable on the 10 th May and 10 th November in each year ; the Directors are , however , empowered to advance every six months a sum not exceeding one-half of the expected Annuity , if required by the claimant .
AH the receipts of the Society , after deducting the necessary expenses of management , are invested with the Commissioners for the reduction of the National Debt , on wbich compound interest is allowed ; thereby forming the Capital of the Association . The Members are formed into 8 Divisions , paying Annual Premiums for each Annuity . Every information may be had at tlie Office , from 12 to 2 o'clock daily , or by letter , postpaid , addressed to the Secretary , Freemasons' Hall , Commercial Buildings , Dublin .
