LIFE INSURANCE DECISION.

The following important decision was
recently rendered by the Circuit Court
of the United States for the Western
District of Tennessee.
CIRCUIT COURT OF TIE UNITED STATES
FOR TIE WESTERN DISTRICT OF
TENNESSEE.
". z. TAFT ct al, Heirs Of Doctor Sam
uei Bond, deceased, Us. Neao York Life
Insurance Company. Commons, J.
A policy of insurance which indem-
nifes a public enemy against loss in
time of war is unlawful; and where en-
tered into before hostilities, isabrogated
when they occurs. The relations it
establishes are Illegal between beliger-
ents.
Where life policy provides that it
shall be void upon the non-payment OF
premiums within the time prescribed,
such payment is condition precedent;
time is of the essence Of contract, and
there can be no recovery if punctual
payment is ommitted.
When the performance of acondition
precedent becomes unlawful, or by the
act of God, impossible, this will not au-
thorize recovery upon the contract
without performance Such case distin-
euished from those in which subsequent
impossihility and illegality are relied
upon as defence.
A contract of insurance, the continu-
ance Of which depends upon the cleo
ton and acts of the insured, is not like
a debt, the obligations of which is abso-
lutte, and which is suspended only by
war.
The relations between the members
of corporation for mutual insurance
present all the evils, and are dissolved
by war for the same reasons as those
between ordinary co-partners.
The reasons for the dissolution OF eX-
ecutory contracts by war are not alone
that such contracts involve intercom-
muion across the hostile lines, or that
they relate to property liable to capture;
but more especially because their exc
cutions increase the resources OF the en-
envy.
4 court of equity has no authority to
decree the specific performance of an
agreement in favor of a party who has
failed to perform a condition which Is
of the essence of the contract although
prevented by its becoming subsequently
illegal or impossible by act of God
K court of equity will not relieve a
party from the effect of ommittinS to
perform an act, although the omission
was caused by subsequent illegality or
lmpossibilty arising from the act OF
God, where such an act was merely OPP
tional and the other party had no right
to enforce its performance.
The agency of one representing an
insurance company, authorized torecelve
premiums and renew policies, becomes
unlawful when the insured and insurer
become public enemies.
