these acts, filed in the Comptroller's office, and general powers were conferred upon the Comptroller, with the view of protecting the public from any frauds that might be attempted, and to secure the equal and uniform oporation of the laws relating to insurance. Annual reports are made to the Comptroller, and by him to the Legislature, under each of these laws. Marine In- surance companies are still filed iu the Secretary's office, but are required to make no report.
Insurance companies formed under the laws of other States or countries caunot establish agencies in this State without first depositing with the Comptroller a certified copy of their charters, and of the vote or resolution creating the agency, a statement of their condition, and proof that their capital is equal to that required by the laws of this State, and, if a Life Insurance company, securities to the amount of $100,000, for the benefit of policy holders. Foreign Marine Insurance companies are required to pay 2 per cent. upon all premiums received by any agent; and a bond in the penal sum of $1,000 is required of every agent of such companies for the pay- meut of this tax. This tax was first collected in 1858, and amounted to $3,742.55. Several companies are uot required to report their statistics to the Legislature. The aggregate reports of Fire Insurance Companies for 1857 show tho following results :-
