#### Gunn *v.*Globe & Rutgers Fire Insurance Co.

Jenkins, J.

Mrs. Gunn brought suit for the value of an automobile, under a policy of insurance protecting her against “theft, robbery or pilferage, excepting by any person or persons in the assured’s household or in the assured’s service or employment, whether the theft, *616robbery, or pilferage occur during the hours of such service or employment or not.” The evidence discloses that the plaintiff had been induced to purchase the ear, a second-hand one, by virtue of the representations of one C. R. Miller, an automobile mechanic, who at the time of the purchase was a lodger of the plaintiff; that shortly thereafter the car got out of order, and that the plaintiff stated to Miller, who in the meantime had removed from the plaintiff’s residence, that it was “up to him to fix it;” that the car was turned over to Miller for such purpose under the statement above quoted, and without any understanding that Miller was to receive compensation for his services in repairing it. The evidence indicates that after the car had been entrusted to Miller he fraudulently converted it to his own use. Upon these facts being made to appear, the trial court granted a nonsuit. *Held:*

Decided December 16, 1919.

Action on insurance policy; from city court of Atlanta—Judge Eeid. May 8, 1919.

*E. M. & G. F. Mitchell,*for plaintiff.

*Smith, Hammond & Smith,*for defendant.

Under the terms of such a policy, written to indemnify an owner against loss by “theft, robbery, or pilferage,” the usual and ordinary meaning of these words, involving the wrongful and fraudulent taking and carrying away of the article stolen, should have application, and the reasonable intention of the contract should not be extended to cover the fraudulent conversion by a bailee of the property so entrusted. The true and manifest intent and spirit of the contract should not be so technically construed as to require that it partake of the nature of a blanket fidelity bond guaranteeing the integrity of all such persons as may be entrusted by the owner with the possession and control of the article covered by the policy of insurance. See *Hartford, Fire Ins. Co.*v. *Wimbish,*12 *Ga. App.*712 (78 S. E. 265); Delafield *v.*London *&*Lancashire Fire Ins. Co., 177 App. Div. (N. Y.) 477 (164 N. Y. Supp. 211); Valley Mercantile Co., *v.*St. Paul Fire &c. Ins. Co., 49 Mont. 430 (143 Pac. 559); People *v.*Cruger, 102 N. Y. 510 (7 N. E. 555); Stuht *v.*Maryland Motor-Car Ins. Co., 90 Wash. 576 (156 Pac. 557).

*Judgment affirmed.*

Who's Who in Calibration Accreditation? 

By Georgia Harris 

Acceptance of calibration reports from non-governmental laboratories continues to be a 

question that is raised by State programs. International agreements and domestic 

arrangements are continually changing. Thus it is important to stay up to date and 

regularly review whether or not calibration reports should be accepted from various 

organizations. 

Based on recent changes to Handbook 130, and possible adoption in your jurisdiction, the 

acceptance of calibration reports will become increasingly important. 

Recommendations for accepting calibration reports: 

1. States are encouraged to continue to accept calibration reports from laboratories 

Recognized by the NIST Weights and Measures Division. 

2. States MAY also accept calibration reports from laboratories accredited by 

organizations with recognition for calibrations (e.g., NACLA recognized, for 

calibrations) or full membership in international bodies only (e.g., IAAC, ILAC, or 

APLAC). See the table and graphic below to identify suitable organizations.

3. If you do accept calibration reports from laboratories other than your own, make sure 

that the recognition or accreditation is current and covers the scope (parameter, range, 

and uncertainty) are covered. E.g., mass, up to 1 kg, uncertainties less than applicable 

tolerances. 

4. States continue to have regulatory authority to assess, spot check, inspect, and re-test 

standards used in authorized commercial activities even if calibration reports are accepted 

from laboratories other than their own - and to refuse acceptance if recurrent problems 

are found. (In the case of problems, it is essential to notify the laboratory and their 

accreditor as a formal complaint.)

#### Isaac N. Coleman v. The Common Council of the City of Cadillac.

*Oomnon council*— Health *officer*— Balm'y.

Under the charter of Cadillac the city council has the power to fix the salary of the health officer, and the board of health cannot bind the council by assuming to fix it, instead. Act 178 of 1873.

Mandamus to compel respondent to pay to relator the sum of $27.50 alleged to be due and unpaid as part' of his salary as health officer of Cadillac. Delator’s petition alleges that he had been appointed by the board of health which had fixed his salary at five dollars a week; that he had presented his quarterly bill for $65' and that the board had allowed it; that he had then presented it to the city council which had referred it to its finance committee; that the committee had reported in favor of allowing the bill at $37.50, and that this amount had been paid him. The respondent answers that there is no regularly constituted board of health for the citgq and that the board claiming to act had no authority to appoint a health officer; that the council had fixed the health officer’s salary at $150 per annum, under the authority vested in it by the city charter —Act 178 of 1873 — and had moreover appointed another person to hold the office; but they admit that they had allowed relator’s bill at the sum alleged.

Motion submitted October 17.

Denied October 18.

*Sawyer <& Bishop*for relator.

*Melntyre ds Rice*for respondent.

Per Curiam.

The Court think that the statute bearing on the question will hardly warrant the view that the board of health were empowered to definitely fix the compensation of the health officer so as to bind the council to' the result.

The better construction seems to be that the power is vested in the council.

The writ is therefore denied with costs against the relator.
