During an attachment of nearly six years to that ship we find him serving at the blockade of Lisbon, escorting the Russian Rear-Admiral Seniavin’s squadron to England after the convention of Cintra, assisting as Midshipman at the embarkation of the army after the battle of Corunna, and employed on boat-duty in the river Tagus during the occupation of the lines of Torres Vedras by Lord Wellington’s army.

Favill, Northumberland 74, Spartiate 76, and Cambridge 82, all commanded by Capt. Thos. Jas. Maling, and Gloucester 74, Capt. Joshua Sydney Horton. He left the latter ship in Dec. 1827, and, having passed his examination in Jan. 1823, was employed during the ten following years as Chief Mate in the Tartar and Camelion Revenue-cruizers; in which he proved instrumental to the capture of 967 tubs of spirits and to the destruction of 2917 tubs, as also of eight vessels and boats. When in pursuit, on one occasion, of a smuggler, he was severely wounded in the right hand. His zeal and activity at length procuring him a commission dated 29 Jan. 1838, he was appointed, on 25 May in that year, to a Lieutenancy in the Tribune 24, Capt. Chas. Hamlyn Williams, and ordered to the Mediterranean, where he had the misfortune to be wrecked, near Tarragona, 28 Nov. 1839. He then returned home on board the Minden 74, Capt. Alex. Renton Sharpe; and was lastly, from 2 March, 1840, until superseded at his own request in 1841, employed in the Coast Guard. When in the Cambridge, on the South American ​station, he saved at different times the lives of two seamen, although at the hazard of his own.
From every Captain with whom he served Lieut. Lewis had the satisfaction of receiving the most flattering testimonials. He married, 12 June, 1830, Miss Eliza Watson, and by that lady has issue a son and three daughters.

# Adamos v. New York Life Ins. Co./Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
Petitioner brought this action at law as beneficiary of several policies of insurance issued by respondent. The policies were alleged to have been issued in April, 1932, upon the life of petitioner's father who died in July, 1932. The policies were to be incontestable after two years from date of issue. The action was brought in a state court in Pennsylvania and was removed to the federal court in February, 1933. Respondent's affidavit of defense set up as new matter that the insured had made false answers and declarations in his application with respect to a surgical operation he had undergone and to the treatment he had received by physicians and at hospitals, that the insured knew that these answers and declarations were false. and that they had been made by the insured 'fraudulently with the intent of deceiving the defendant into issuing to him the policies of insurance in litigation, when the facts were such that if he had answered said questions truthfully and had made a full and honest disclosure, the defendant would not have issued any of said policies but would have declined his application.' Respondent tendered judgment for the amount of the premiums received by it, with interest, and prayed that the policies be canceled. Petitioner replied, denying the allegations of fraud.
Respondent asked that the equitable issue raised by its affidavit of defense should be heard under section 274b of the Judicial Code (28 U.S.C. § 398 (28 USCA § 398)) 'by a chancellor according to equity procedure in advance of the trial by jury at law of any purely legal issues.' The application was granted over petitioner's objection, and the issue of fraud was tried in equity. The District Judge decided that it was 'a very plain case of fraud upon the insurance company,' that the insured had 'falsely answered the questions as to his medical history,' and that these questions were all as to 'matters of fact within his knowledge.' 5 F.Supp. 278, 280; 5 F.Supp. 1019.
Decree was entered canceling the policies and providing for the repayment of the premiums tendered. The decree was affirmed by the Circuit Court of Appeals (71 F.(2d) 997), and this Court granted certiorari November 12, 1934 (293 U.S. 549, 55 S.Ct. 148, 79 L.Ed. --).
What we have said in Enelow v. New York Life Insurance Company, 293 U.S. 379, 55 S.Ct. 310, 79 L.Ed. 440, decided this day, is directly applicable here. The issue of fraud raised by respondent's affidavit of defense was fully available in the action at law, and the court erred in directing the trial of that issue in equity.
The decree of the Circuit Court of Appeals is reversed, and the cause is remanded to the District Court, with direction to vacate its decree and to proceed with the trial of the action at law.
It is so ordered.
