intera sting Insurance Case.

RIGHTS OF COMPANIES TO CANCEL A
PoLICY-IMPoRTANT POINT
ESTABLISHED.
In the United States Circuit Court OH
Saturday Judge Giles decided a fire-in-
surance case, in which there are some in
teresting points. Rayfield, Riggin &
Co., oyster packers, effected insurance in
the Farmers Mutual fire insurance com
pany of Delaware, for $500 on frame
One of the conditions of the policy was
that the assured should comply with the
bylaws Of the company, requiring that
if the assured had apolicy in any other
company on the same property, he should
so state in his application; and if he effec-
ted any additional insurance in other
companies it should be made known to
the insuring company, and its assent
thereto be endorsed on the policy. Plain
tiffs subsequently effected insurance on
the same property in the Phoenix and in
the Pennsylvania fire insurance COM
panies and sent notice of the fact to the
secretary of the defendant, but received
no answer.
Soon after the property insured was
destroyed by fire. On application being
made defendant refused to pay the
amount of the policy, claiming that it had
been Cancelled by the act of plaintiffs in
obtaining additional insurance without
consent Archibald Stirling, Jr,, and
Geo, H. Chandler, for defendant, argued
that the cancellation took effect immedi-
ately on the additional insurance, and
that no notice was requisite of the refusal
of the company to endorse on the policy,
John H. Handy, for plaintiff, urged that
the policy was only voidable, and not
voided by the additional insurance; that,
having notice of the additional insurance
plaintiff had fully complied with the con-
dition of the policy, and that then it was
at the option of the company to cancel
the policy. or to allow it to remain in
force, of which election the defendant
was bound to give notice to the plaintiffs;
that having failed to give the notice un-
til after the fire had occurred, it was pre-
cluded or estopped from availing itself of
the provisions of the bylaw, and that the
policy continued in force. Judge Giles
decided that the policy was void tpso
ytacto by the act of plaintiffs in obtaining
Traditional insurance, and that cancela-
ton was not necessary. Judgment was
therefore rendered for decentralization.
