Insurance company bonds and reports of agents

According to "An Act relative to the Agents of Fire Insurance Companies out incorporated by Law of this State," (L. 1824, Ch. 277) agents of all such companies were to make annual reports of all premiums received and to pay 10% of these to the state treasury. They were also required to deliver on demand to the comptroller a bond declaring intent to carry out the provisions of this law or pay a $1,000 penalty. A law of 1824 (Ch. 22) and subsequent laws required each incorporated company subject to taxation to submit annually to the comptroller a list of the names, residences, and amounts of stock held by their stockholders.
