SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.

(Before Mr. W. BURCHELL
BAIL V. THE ROYAL EXCHANGE INSURANCE COMPANY,

This was an inquiry to assess damages in an action
brought on a policy of insurance granted by the Roy al
Exchange Insurance Company. The plaintiff now car-
ries on business as a butcher in Tottenham Court-yard,
but, in 1848, was a farmer at Dagenham Hill Farm, near
Hemel Hempstead. Plaintiff insured his stock for 8001.,
and a fire having occurred on the premises, the stock of
wheat, oats, &c., was completely consumed. A family
dispute arose, in consequence of which proceedings
were taken in the Court of Chancery, which
prevented the plaintiff from clearly and satisfactorily
making out his claim on the company, who at first con-
sidered that the plaintiff had made fraudulent represen-
tations as to the value of the property destroyed, and so
pleaded on an action brought against them; but, after
consideration, obtained a Judge's order to withdraw
the plea, and leave the plaintiff, on the present inquiry,
to prove the value of the stock.
The evidence adduced was on mere conjecture, and
was totally devoid of interest, but the case was likely to
take up the whole of the day, as a great number of
witnesses were to be called on either side.
