Assurances Companies Bill.
Correspondence with the President of the

in Committee, containing an amendment to
Clause 2 inserted in Committee at the instance
of the President o{
the Board of Trade,
in
consequence
of
the communications
addressed to him by the Council. Clause
2
provides
for
the
deposit with
the
Paymaster-General
of
twenty
thousand
pounds by every Assurance Company, such
sum to be invested in such of the securities
as are usually accepted by the Court for the
investment
of
funds
placed
under
its
administration.
The amendment provides that the Section
shall apply
to
an Assurance Company
registered or having its head
office
in Ireland,
subject to
the following modifications :—
References to the Supreme Court shall be
construed as references to the Supreme Court
of Judicature in Ireland, and references to
the Paymaster-General shall be construed as
references to the Accountant-General of the
last-mentioned Court.
The effect will be to secure that in the
case of an Irish Assurance Company the
deposit will be made
in Ireland, and be
dealt with by the Irish Court, and not, 'as
heretofore, in England.
