A litigation In the Superior Court, In Gin
cinuati, has recently resulted In affirming
the Judgment Of lower court against q IRE
insurance company for the amount Of dis
puted claim. The company set up as their
principal defence the violation Of provision
inserted In the policy which they Issued, to
the effect that the best tndeayors Of the
owners should be used at and after q fire to
save the property insured. II appeared that
the owner employed person 10 take charge
Of the goods, who resided In the building
where they were stored; that when the fire
first began, and could have been readily ex-
tingulshed, this person refused to have the
doors opened; that time was Lost In break
Ing into the building, and that the chief loss
was occasioned by this delay.
There 10 q similar clause In most fire In
surance policies. When the owner Of In
surod property Is present during fire, he
may have this dilemma before him whether
to endeavor to remove his property TO some
other place where II may be injured or
stolen, or where II may burn up, and where
II certainly Is not insured, or whether he
shall let It alone and give tho company an
opportunity to deny liability because he has
not eIerted himself. II the choice Of such
alternatives may prove embarrassing to an
owner, what must they DO to an agentf
The court considered that the person In
charge of the property may have thought
his own conduct judiclous-the FIRE might
be increased by opening door, and oppor-
tunity be afforded for plllage; that an
honest mistake furnished no ground for
blame; and that the acts OF the agent were
constructively those Of the owner. There
can be no question as to the wisdom OF this
judgment. Aud fire insurance companies
will find II Improbable to seek to escape
liability, where no fraud 10 alleged, by get.
