y point connected with life insurance is
of special interest, probably, to many per
sons in the Southern States, has Just been
decided in one of the United States Cir
cult Courts.
The case was as follows:
CIRCUIT COURT OF TIE UNITED STATES FOR
THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF TENNESSEE.
W. r. Tail ct al, Heirs of Doctor Samuel
Bond, deceased, as. NeW York Life m
S,rdnce Company. Commons, H.
A policy of insurance which inlemnifies
public enemy against loss in time of war
is unlawful and where entered into before
hostlities, Is abrogated when they occur.
The relations 1t establishes are illegal be-
tween belligerents.
Where life policy provides that it shall
be void upon the non-poyment of premi-
ums within the time prescribed, such pay
ment is n condition precedent time is of
the essence of contract, and there can be
no recovery if punctual payment is omit
ted
Where tho perfoi nance Of condition
precedent becomes unlawful, or by the act
of God impossible, this will authorize a
recovery upon the contract without per-
Torrance. Such case distinguished from
those in which subsequent impossibllity
and illegality are relied upon as defence
a contract of insurance, the continuance
OF which depends upon the election and
acts of the insured, is not like debt, the
obligation of which is absolute, and which
is suspended only by war.
The relations between the members of
q corporation for mutual insurance pre-
sent all the evils and are dissolved by
war for the same reasons as those between
ordinary copartners
The reasons for the dissolution of eN-
ecutory contracts by war are not alone
that such contracts involve inter-com-
munion across the hostile lines, or that
they relate to property liable to capture
but more especially because their execu-
| ton increases the resources of the enemy.
A court of equity has no authority to
decree the specific performance of an
agreement in favor of party who has
failed to perform condition which is OF
the essence of the contract, although pre-
vented by its becoming subsequently IL
legal or impossible by act of God.
A court of equity will not relieve par
| ty from the effect of emitting to perform an
act. although the omission was caused by
subsequent illegality or impossibility
arising from the acts of God, where such
act was merely optional and the other par
| ty had no right to enforce its performance.
The agency of one representing an in
sumnce company, authorized to receive
| premiums and renew policies, becomes un-
lawful when the insured and insurer De-
come public enemies.
