SUN FIRE OFFICE, in Threadneedle street, near the Royal Exchange,
and in Craig’s court, Charing Cross, for insuring houses and other
buildings, goods, wares, and merchandize from loss and damage by fire.
This office, which was the first that attempted the insurance of goods
and that of houses beyond the bills of mortality, was according to
Maitland projected by Mr. John Povey about the year 1706, who having
carried it on for sometime with success, conveyed his right to certain
purchasers; who by a deed of settlement of the 7th of April 1710,
erected themselves into a society; and that all persons may, with the
greater security insure in this office, the proprietors have raised an
hundred thousand pounds, as a fund for that purpose.
_Insurances may be made in this office on the following terms._
I. All policies shall be signed and sealed by three or more trustees,
or acting members: by which policies may be insured houses, and other
buildings, houshold furniture, goods, wares, merchandize, and utensils
and implements in trade, being the property of the persons insuring;
except all manner of writings, books of accompts, bills, bonds,
tallies, ready money, jewels, pictures, and gunpowder.
