From the Carson Appeal, Aug l0.l
IMPORTANT DECIsIoN--A case of some
importance, relating to the liabilities of
Life Insurance Companies, was decided
in the United States Circuit for Nevada
recently. The suit was that Of Sarah
Cooper against the Pacific Mutual Life
Insurance Company. Mrs. Cooper APP
piled for an insurance of 5000 upon
the life of her husband, James Cooper,
and paid at the time fifty dollars, to be
taken by the company as part payment OF
the premium in case the application
should be accepted. Her application
was accepted at the home Office in Cali,
fornia, and policy was made out and
forwarded to the agent of the CON-
pany in this State. Before the policy
was delivered to Mrs. Cooper, her hus-
band, the assured, died and the company
refused to deliver the policy. The Court
held, as had already been done in our
, Supreme Court when the same case WAS
before it on appeal, that these facts es-
tablished valid contract for policy
upon which the plaintiff could recover.
! The Court, however, found, as matter
of fact, that the question in the applica.
ton, Are your habits of life correct and
temperate?" had been, knowingly, falsely
answered Yes" and that this false
etat Il tla oat pf in
, auce void. The insurance company &C.
cordingly had judgment in its favor on
this question of fact.
