6th. Bills of Exchange, Bonds and other Secu

circumstances.
11. Insurances willalfo be made on buildings and
goods extra hazardous, at premiums proportioned
to thu risque. But it is not easy to arrange these
under particular head* or cla(Tes, so as to describe
each with ths necessary accuracy. Each cafe must
therefore be decided upon according to the circum
stances attending it ; and these circumstances wili,
in general, appear from the description accompa
nying the application.
Buildings partly conftru&cd of brick or stone,
are preferable to those wholly wooder. And in
both cases, the stile of buiHing, how they are oc
cupied, how they are situated, the neighboring
buildings, and how occupied, are considerations to
be taken into view. And with refpeik to goods,
their tendency, whether from their nature, or
from the manner in which th«y are exposed, either
to commence or to increase an accidental fire, a»d
their liability in such Hate to receive damage by ,
wet, or by sudden and hasty removal, ortftbe sto
len in time of confufion and hurry, are all cir
cumstances of weight; and the premiums must be
proportioned accordingly.
111. The following con&tiont are to be under
stood by the parties .
1 ft. The Insurance is not binding till the stipu
lated premium be paid ; but it lhall be deemed ef
fectual from the time of such payment and accep
tance thereof, whether the policy be immediately
signed or not.
2d. Insurances may be renewed at the expira
tion of the term of the policy, without further ex
penfe*than the payment of the premium of the re
newed term, the circumftancescontinuing the fame
a? they were understood by the Insurers at the time
the former insurance was made ; but the payme-nt
of the premium is eflTential to such renewal; and
if the party insured fuffers any time to elapse after v
the expiration of the former insurance, before he
pays a premium for the renewal, he is not insured
during fucn t-ime ; nor can the insurance be renew
ed on the former policy but by computing the
commencement of the renewal from the expiration
©f the former insurance. The (übjedi of insur
ance may ne*erthelcfs be open to treaty for a new
insurance.
7th. No insurance will be made for a fliorter
term than one year, nor for a longar term than se
ven years. Persons choosing to infare for seven
years (hall b eallewed one year's premium by way
of difeount: One third of a yearspremium fcall'
be abated in like manner on an insurance for
three years.
