ra, ce, where the evidence bad been closed,
The counsel for defendant, Messrs. Ould, of
Richmond, and Busey, of Baltimore stated
to the Court that payment of this claim had
been heretofore refused by the Insurance

duccd the defendant TO believe that its s,ls-
picions were unfounded, and the claim was
correct; that while there were several tech
nical questions which might be availed Of
by way of defence, the defendant took the
high position that it would permit no tech
nical!tics to prevent the payment OF claim
fairly proven, and it would now submit to 4
judgment for the plaintiffs.
Counsel for plaintiffs, Mcssrs. Paul & Da-
vies, acknowledged their appreciation of the
honorable position assumed by the defend
ant, aud his Honor Judge WeItord COM
mcnded in few remarks the course adopted
