INTRODUCTION. 11 surance against fire, flood, or shipwreck (9 & 10 Viet. c. 27). 16. By an Act of the 15th August, 1850 (13 & 14 Viet. c. 115), the statutes relating to Friendly Societies were again consolidated, and for that purpose the Acts of 1829, 1834, 1840, and 1846 were all repealed, except with regard to Benefit Building Societies. The wide definition of objects contained in the Act of 1846 was re enacted with slight alteration, but no society was to be entitled to the privileges of the Act which assured more than £100 in one sum, or more than £30 by way of annuity, or more than 205. per week in sickness. Societies under this Act were divided into two classes, “ Certified Friendly Societies/-’ and “ Registered Friendly Societies.” The certified societies (6) were such as should obtain a certificate to their tables by an actuary possessing a given qualification, who was required to set forth the data of sickness and mortality upon which he proceeded, and the rate of interest assumed in the calculations. All others were to be simply registered. The duty of the Registrar was to see that the rules of every society, whether certified or registered, were in conformity with law, that no rule was repugnant to another, and that they were reasonable and proper. All societies granting annuities were required to come under the class of certified societies (c). The fee (i) Very few of this class were actually established. (c) A provision equivalent to this was re-enacted in the Acts of 1855 and 1875.
