An INTERESTING CASE An interesting
case recently decided by Judge Wheeler, of
the nitei States Court, was that of Brooks
We. the PtOsnix Mutual Life Insurance
Company, resume Of the points of which
We take from the ST. JOhnsbuTy Caisdonian
la l-G6, Dr. S I. Brooks. Of st. john
hurry, procured an insurance Of s., 900 upon
his own life in the Phoenix Mutual Life In
surance Company, payable to his wife in
April, ls7s. The insurance was on what
IL called the hali-nOte plan, that Is, DIR.
Brooks gave his notes for one half the
premium for the first fur years, paying the
rest IN money. The agent who effected the
insurance informed him that the company
paid 80 per cent dividend, and that the
dividends Tor the FIRST four years would
cancel the notes.
At the end Of the first year. the doctor
became alarmed because some one informed
him that the notes would be deducted from
the amount OF the policy at its maturity,
and accordingly wrote to the general agent
of the company at Albany, Inquiring If the
notes would be deducted from tie sum due
on the policy at its maturity, and saying
that II such was the case, he should with
draw from the company and make
no further payments. The general
AGENT at once wrote IN renlv that the
notes wonId not he taken ont of The nolicv
Ln, would he cancoIied bv Ireland,
