LIFE POLICIES.

" A trial of considers ble interest to Life Assurance Offices and the
public was concluded 3*esterday in the Court of Exchequer. The
Eagle Company held r.•.;oolicy for an assurance of 539/. in the Albion
Company as security i b r an advance, the payment of which policy
was now disputed by ; n,3 Albion, on the ground that at the time it
was effected the fact the assured party having beet a man of in-
temperate habits was c once aled from the office. The chief evidence
turnel upon the quest is n as to the degree of intemperance that had
been exhibited, and ti it: result was, that a verdict was given against
the resisting office, not. only for the amount of the policy, but also for
401. interest from the date when it became due. The circumstance
of the action being brc vght by one office against another presents a
striking illustration of the uncertainty which may attach to all po-
licies under the presen et system, and shows that the only mode by
which absolute securit p can be obtained by the public must lie in the
general adoption by A! tsurance Offices of the plan of protelting them-
selves in every case b 3 due inquiries before the grAntinvs, f cacti po-
licy, and of afterward 5 assuming the full responsibility of the com-
pleteness of such inqu dries by holding themselves precluded from
raising any future qu cation. In the present cave two offices are
found to he diametries By opposed in their opinions as to what can
properly invalidate a Claim, and yet the public are expected to be
able to guare themselv es agai:ist such contingences. qmilar cases
have occurred before, a ad even if they were more rare, they would
seriously injure the pr ygress of life assurance. The very principle
upon which the busine is is founded is the removal of uncertainty,
and whenever that pri; aclple is counteracted in the slightest degree,
the people who would t e: the first to resort to its advantages are the
first to be deterred."—i Imes, July 11, 1850.
