- Defendants asked the Court to construe this
language as prohibiting the employment OF car
pentars and other mechanics In making
repairs on tho steamer, and get up In o
plea the condition quoted and a breach
OF it.. The plaintiffs counsel commended that the
condition should be read ns follows: The
goods named In tho condition shall not be kept
or stored In any building insured or containing
any property insured; that no substance for n
burning gas shall be evnporated In or contigu-
GUS to any building insured or containing any
property Insured: that no carpenters or altera-
lions upon any such building. except dwelling
houses. but as to these, repairs may be made
for tho period of fifteen days. without notice to
to the insurer" The court now adopts the
plaintiffs construction. and declares that the
prohibition stated refers to buildings only:
therefore, making repairs or alterations to the
steamboat are no breach Of condition. hence the
plea shows no defense to the action. The other
defense is. that the policy provides that II
