insurance from the company in ls4s, through thai,
agent in this city, Mr.. L. Whitney, to the auoouat

Empire Mill, in Brooklon, which was subsequeak
ly destroyed by fire. The mill was situated d
Furman-street. near Todds storage warehoaa,
and was occupied for toe manufacture Of Gotta
Irvine.
The principal points Of defense are that Tia
terms Of the policy being part o.! the printed Do.
tionl REQUIRE that where insurance is effected IL
another office on the same property, that nohea
shall be given to the company the amount of sail
other policy policies Endorsed on the p0licyof
this, and the loss to be apportioned pro rata be,
tween them that IN this case $4,000 were also
insured in the Insurance Company of the Stated
/ Pennsylvauis, OF winch no notice was given and
! that the endorsement OF said amount was made
subsequently, by plaintiff which was not valued;
also that M. Whitney was not authorized to take
special risks without first notifying the company,
which was not done. Motion for nonsuit wss
made In respect to the points it was shown tia.
| Mr. Whitney was also agent for the other con-.
pany and gave that policy five days before this.
This fact the Court considered to be sufficient 10.
tice, as Mr. Whitney being the one to notityci
course was aware of it, Placing the Endorsement
subsequently, on the policy, was very foolish
thing but does not vtlate the policy, as the notice
was the condition. 1t was stated by a witnes
that Mr. Whitney appeared tie have full powas
from the company having policies signed IN blank

hazardous risks Verdict for plaintiff in amount
