An important Life Insurance ease has
been before the I ;. Circuit Court at
Rutland tie past week, which involves
some points Of general interest The nc
ton was against the lIamemn Life In
surauce Co, TO recover $4,000 tho amount
ofiu.urance on the life Of Jacob Green,
Tie defence was 0ccOrd and satisfaction,
and also that the said Green came to his
death by his own hand, and consequently
could not recover The proof tended to
show that Green did take his own life and
also that he was insane at the time: II al
so tended to prove that the plaintiff had
given up the policy 70 the agent Of the
company after the death Of the insured,
receiving therefor the premium already
paid on the policy less the expenses actu-
ally incurred, she supposing at the time
il was all she was entitled to. The court,
Hon. y. A. Smallcy, charged the jury
that II Tie deceased was insane at the time
of committing the suicide aud not con-
scious Of the act, and If the plaintiff was
deceived at the time She gave up the poll
cy, then She was entitled to recover. The
jury found verdict for the plaintiff; eN-
ceptions by the defendant. The case was
argued for plaintiff by II. Ballard and +.
j Phelps: for defendant by A. A. Mich
olson aud Daniel Roberts.
