 OF 
 
 CONCLUDED upon the 4th day of May, in 
 the year of our Lord, 1786, between the several 
 persons whose respective names are hereunto sub' 
 scribed, for forming themselves into a society for 
 raising a certain capital stock, and thereout pro- 
 viding certain annuities for the respective widows, 
 or widows and children fas the case may happen) 
 of such respective under- writers as shall die Mem- 
 bers of the said Company ; subject nevertheless, 
 to the conditions herein after for that purpose, by 
 common consent, agreed on and witnessed. 
 
 Whereas, on or about the fourth day of May, 
 1780, several of the subscribers hereto, and otherst 
 by a deed in writing and executed, formed them- 
 selves into a company for raising a fund of money 
 and thereout providing certain annuities for their 
 respective widows and children ; And whereas it 
 hath since appeared from experience, and the 
 
 A 
 
VI. 
 
 opinion of men of great learning and judgment, 
 that the principles upon which said company had 
 founded their plan were defective and inadequate ; 
 Now it is agreed upon between all the subscribing 
 parties hereto, that their company shall continue 
 under the name of The Liberal Annuity Com- 
 pany, and shall immediately alter the execution ol 
 these presents, elect, by ballot, one of tneir own 
 members as President ; as also, one of their ovrn 
 members as Secretary to the said company, and 
 thirteen other members, then residing in the city 
 of Dublin, for a standing committee of the said 
 company, seven of whom are always to make a 
 quorum, for and until the 4th day of May, 1767, 
 for the purposes herein after mentioned- 
 
 Sec- II. It is agreed upon between all the said 
 subscribing parties, that every new or future mem- 
 ber shall pay to the Secretary, for the time being, 
 the sum of £34 2s- 6d. towards the said capital 
 stock of the said company, in mannei as herein 
 after mentioned, or such further or other sum as 
 shall be judged necessary by the majority of the 
 said company, and that every present and future 
 member, over and above the respective stock by 
 him respectively paid to the Secretary as aforesaid, 
 shall also pay to the Secretary, for the time being, 
 the further sum of £5 13s. 9d. a year, by two equal 
 half yearly payments, that is to say, on every 4th 
 (lay of May, and every 5th day of November in 
 
VII. 
 
 every year, as his respective annual subscription to 
 the support and increase of the said capital stock ; 
 the said annual sum to be respectively paid by 
 every present or future member to the Secretary, 
 for the time being, on or before every fourth day of 
 May, and fifth day of November, in the year, 
 during such member’s continuance in the said 
 company ; and for the greater convenience of 
 each and every subscriber, it is further agreed on 
 by the under- writers hereto, that every present or 
 future member shall be allowed the full space of 
 three montlis from and after each of the said half- 
 yearly days of payment herein before appointed, 
 the better to enable him, to make good and pay 
 his said half-yearly subscription ; such Member 
 paying at the rate of three pence per diem for 
 every day subsequent to said half-yearly day of 
 pa^yment, during the said three months, should 
 the same remain unpaid ; but if the said half- 
 yearly subscription be not paid within the said 
 three months, such present or future member ne 
 glecting to pay or make good the same, shall for- 
 feit and pay to the use of the saidcompany b pence 
 for each and every day the same shall remain unpaid, 
 after the expiration of the said three montlis ; and 
 if the same shall remain unpaid for the space of 
 six months over and beyond the said half-yearly 
 day of payment, every such member so neglect- 
 ing shall thereby be excluded from the said 
 company, and his widow, or widow and child. 
 
Yin. 
 
 or children, (as the case shall happen) be de- 
 prived of every benefit which she or they should 
 otherwise be entitled to ; six weeks previous no- 
 tice immediately after the end of the said 6 months, 
 being first given by the said Secretary to the wife 
 of such Member’s neglect, within which term of six 
 weeks, she shall have liberty to clear off her said 
 husband’s arrears ; it being the intention of the 
 parties hereto that such non- complying member 
 shall forfeit to said company as well his said respec- 
 tive stock as his said half-yearly subscription, by 
 him already paid, all such forfeitures to enure to 
 the increase of the said capital stock ; but if it 
 shall happen that any member or under-writer of 
 the said company having neglected to make good 
 his said half-yearly subscription within the time 
 herein before appointed, for payment thereof, 
 shall die before the expiration of the said six ca- 
 lender months and six weeks, then and in such 
 case his widow, child, or children, upon payment 
 of all such sum and forfeits, as shall be then in 
 arrear by her deceased husband, shall and will be 
 entitled to her and their annuity in the same man- 
 ner as if the said half-yearly payment of the de 
 ceased member had been duly made at the time of 
 his decease, it being the true intent and meaning 
 of the parties hereto^ that subject to the penalties 
 and forfeits aforesaid, each and every member shall 
 be allowed 6 months from the said days of payment 
 to makegood his half-yearly subscription before he 
 
IX. 
 
 shall be so utterly expelled or excluded the said 
 company as aforesaid : and also that the widow^ 
 or widow and child, or children only, of a person 
 continuing to the the time of his death, a member 
 of the said company, shall, under the limitations 
 herein mentioned, be deemed to be entitled to any 
 annuity, either wholly or distributively from the 
 said company. 
 
 Sec. III. It is agreed upon between all the 
 said parties, that no person engaged in a military, 
 or any kind of sea-service, be elected a member 
 of said company, nor shall any present or future 
 member enlist or engage himself in any military 
 service at land or sea, or in any kind of sea-service, 
 or undertake a voyage to the East or West- Indies, 
 Asia, Africa, or America, or to any foreign part or 
 parts whatsoever, or to any part of Europe, (Great 
 Britain and France only excepted) without first 
 having insured his life for £200, in the name of 
 the Secretary of said company, by such insurers 
 as shall be appointed by the committee ; such 
 insurance to be made for the benefit of said com- 
 pany. And in case any present or future member, 
 who shall engage in the land or sea-service, or 
 undertake a voyage to any foreign part or parts, 
 except as aforesaid, without such assurance as 
 aforesaid, then and from the time of such his enlist- 
 ing or engagement in either service, or undertaking 
 such voyage, and proof thereof being made satis- 
 
X, 
 
 factory to the company, or the majority thereof, 
 such member shall be considered as really to have 
 withdrawn himself from being a member of said 
 company, and shall forfeit his share and interest 
 in the said company ; provided always, that serving 
 or being arrayed in the militia, or incorporating 
 in any of the volunteer corps, now or hereafter 
 subsisting in this kingdom ; and provided also, 
 that gentlemen on half-pay, while they continue 
 so, or accept of full pay, for the purpose of selling 
 out only, shall not be deemed as enlisting, or be 
 engaged in a military service, w'ithin the meaning of 
 these presents. And it is further agreed between 
 all the subscribers hereto, that every member who 
 shall go and reside out of Ireland shall correspond 
 half-yearlywith the Secretary, or some other of the 
 members of this company, and inform him or them 
 of such his family circumstances as concern the com- 
 pany, and shall within the space of six months af- 
 ter his quitting said kingdom, acquaint tne Secie- 
 tary, or some other member of this company, of 
 the place of his residence ; and in case the wife of 
 such absent member shall happen to die, he shall 
 within six months after her decease give notice 
 thereof in writing to the Secretary of the company ; 
 and if any such absent member shall neglect or 
 refuse to give such notice within the time aforesaid, 
 such absent member shall forfeit and pay to the 
 said company, the sum of £20 sterling, to be paid 
 or remitted by him to the Secretary of the said 
 
XI. 
 
 company, for and towards their capital stock, 
 within six months after such absent member shall 
 be proved guilty of such neglect : and any mem- 
 ber who shall receive such notice from such absent 
 member, shall, within the space of fourteen days

 Secretary of the said company for the time being, 
 or shall acquaint the company therewith on the 
 first general meeting which shall be held after the 
 receipt of such notice, or otherwise shall forfeit 
 and pay to the Secretary of the said company for 
 their use and towards their capital stock, the 
 sum of £20 sterling, within fourteen days after

 tary for the time being, or some other person of 
 the said company, for the space of one year, such 
 non-complying member shall forfeit to the said 
 company all his said stock and subscription by

 said company at some one of their half-yearly days

 pany of the person to whom, with the consent of

 subscribing parties, that as no benefit in the said 
 capital stock is intended to accrue to the respec- 
 tive heirs, executors, or administrators of the

 spective heirs, executors, or administrators of the 
 present or future under-writers shall not be liable 
 to any breach of the articles herein before men- 
 tioned, or of any rule hereafter to be made. Pro- 
 vided always that nothing herein contained is to be 
 deemed to preclude the said company from suing 
 the secretary and key-keepers for the time being, 
 and if dead, their heirs, executors, or administra- 
 tors, for any misconduct concerning the premises, 
 and all damages in that behalf recovered by the 
 said company, to enure to the augmentation of the 
 said capital stock. Nevertheless, all matters of 
 dispute to be first endeavoured to be amicably de- 
 termined by the majority of the company then as- 
 sembled for that purpose, if said meeting consists 
 of twenty-four members or upwards, who are to 
 determine disputes concerning the premises, which 
 
xli. 
 
 compromise of the said company may be made a 
 rule of court, and the performance thereof to be 
 enforced as in cases of arbitration. 
 
 In witness whereof the said parties have 
 hereunto set their hands and seals the 
 day and year first before written.
