All transactions, and Powers of Attorney and other documents, are free of Stamp Duty and all taxation. 3. No charge is made beyond tbe purchase money or premium, paid quarterly, half-yearly, or afmually. 4. Fourteen or twenty-one days of grace, according to the intervals of payment, are allowed beyond the due dates; and should the 'assured die during these periods, the policy will still be valid., 5. Surrender values are granted on the whole or any part of a contract which has endured for five years. 6. Residence is permitted in any part of the Australasian Colonies or Europe, and premiums may always be paid on tbe due dates at tbe nearest Money Order Office. 7.
