fecting the Assurance, in making all proper inquiries, no As-
surance, when once completed, will afterwards be questioned or
disputed, except in cases of manifest fraud or misrepresentation.
Policies assigned for bona fide considerations will not become
void by death from suicide, duelling, or the hands of justice ;
and in cases where Policies shall not have been so assigned, a
discretionary power, founded upon the most liberal coniidera-
tion, is vested in the Directors to return to the Widow or Chil-
dren of the assured the whole, or any part of the Premiums paid.
All Claims on the Company in respect of Assurances will be
paid within three calendar months after satisfactory proof of
the death of the party, or immediately after such proof on the
allowance of discount.
