PAWNUROICE,HX-4-•A case of some importance to
pawnbrokers, and those • connected with them, was
argued last week before the Magistrates at Bow-street.
A pawnbroker, whose premises were recently de-
stroyed by fire. wSs summoned to shew cause why he
'should not pay the difference between the real value
'of an article pledged with him, and which had been
destroyed in the conflagration, and the sum actually
advanced on it at the time it was pledged.—On the
part of the pawnbroker it was contended, that he was
not liable to make good loss by fire without a specific
contract for that purpose, and in support of this rea-
-1 soning, the rules regulating. the contracts between
pawnbrokers and the insurance offices were produced,
by which the pawnbroker is required not to insure his
stock for its full value, but only to the amount of the
money actually advanced by him upon the various
articles in his possession. After a full hearing, the
1 Magistrates determined that the pawnbroker is not
liable to make good losses arising from tire.
