LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DEC. 7.
GREEN v. POLE.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, for-
merly a linen-draper anti haberdasher, carrying on
business in Mount-street, Grosvennr-square, to re-
cover from the defendant, as Treasurer of the Sun
Fire-office, under a policy of insurance by that office,
compensation for damage to his goods by fire. The
ground of resistance to the claim by the fire-office
was, that it was false and fraudulent,
The cause has occupied the Court two days, in
consequence of the number of witnesses examined
for the plaintiff. It appeared that a policy of in-
ourance for the sum of 5,5001. was effected be-
tween the parties in May, 1828, and the fire oc-
curred in July. The plaintiff's estimation of his
loss, and consequent claim on the fire-office, was
upwards of 1,6001., a sum of 1,0501. being alleged
as the loss and damage sustained in the article of
ribands alone. The fire-office employed Messrs.
Toplis, Baker, and Cummins, a broker and ap
praiser, a linen-draper and haberdasher, to make art
estimate of the damage done to the plaintiff's pro-
perty, and, upon their estimate, offered the plaintiff
500/. as a proper remuneration for his los% Al-
though the plaintiff had readily consented to abide
by the deeision,of these persons, yet, when this sum
was awarded, he refused to receive it, but, after
some doluy, offered to meet the office half-way, and
be content with 8001. This proposal the office, re,
fused to secede to, and again tendered .500/., which
the plaintiff again refused ; but, subsequently being
in want of money, be offered to accept that sum,
Then the fire-office refused to pay even that, and
announced their intention of resisting the plaintiff's
claim, on the ground that he had forfeited his claim
upon them, by having broken the conditions of' the
policy, by making a false and fraudulent estimation
of his loss.

The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—da.
