Messrs. Edmund Randolph and John Wick
ham having been consulted by the President of
this Board in pursuance other resolution adopt
ed at their last meeting and having expressed
their opinions, which have been read and cousi-
dered by this Board
Reso!Ced, as the opinion of this Board, that
where any building or buildings has or have been
declared for insurance prior the 9th day of Ia
nuary, 1900, by person having greater inte-
rest or estate therein than tenant for life or for
years, and in such declaration such particular in
terest or estate has not been specified before the
issuing of policy on such declaration. and not
withdrawing the premium or premiums, and quo
tas may have been paid, Iuch building orbuildngs
ought not to be considered as insured, nor ought
the society to be liable for any loss thereon by fire.
But such premiums and quotas with interest
thereon from The time of pa, ment, shall on ap-
plication be retuTued 70 the person or persons so
Improperly declaring reinsurance as aforesaid.
IDLY. That when any building or buildings has
or have been declared for prior to the Oh day OF
January 1900, by person having no greater in
terest estate therein than as tenant for life or
for years, and IN such declaration such particular
interest estate has been specified, before the
issuing of policy on such declaration, and not
withsranding the premium premiums and quo
tas may have been paid, unless the renaindermen
or reversiOner IN such interest or estate shall al
so have Joined with such tenant forife or for
years in such declaration, or in some declaration
supplementary thereto, agreeabiy to the rules and
regulations of the said society, the society ought
not to be liable for any loss thereon by FIRE, except
TO the tenant for life or for years, so declaring
the true nature of his interest estate as afore-
said. nor to any greater extent than may be Justly
prop itiouate to the value of the particular int
rest or estate Of suoh tenant compared with the
value Of the esta'e in fee simple.
