The ocean insurance Decision.


In the case of the Sun Mutual Insurance
Company OF New York, appellant vs. Ocean
Insurance Company of Portland it was alleged
by the Sun Company that the Ocean Insurance
Company in obtaining the reinsurance on the
ship G. s. Pennell virtually concealed some OF
the facts relating to the extent of tho charter
OF the ship, and that therefore it (the Sun
company is not liable as reinsurers for the loss
incurred. The court below did not coincide in
this view, bnt found, as . conclusion of law,
that the policy was not void because OF any
concealment of the Ocean company. The
Supreme Court, however. holds that there
was concealment of material facts, and that
such concealmeDt, whether intentional or in
advertent, voided the policy, If actually in
tended to cover the risk for which the claim Is
made. In respect TO the dnty OF disclosing all
material facts, the case of reinsurance does not
differ, in the opinion of the court, from that OF
an original insurance. The duty Of communi'
cation, indeed, is independent OF the intention,
and is violated by the fact Of coDcealment,
even where there is no design to deceive. This
duty may, in some instances be greater and
more binding in case Of reinsurance than 81
DSbWeou bU6 pdEblcc W AL OiiSihdA ihouhohoS'
In the former, the party seeking to shift the
risk he has taken is bound to communicate biz
knowledge of the character of the original in
surance, where such information would bs
| likely TO influence the Judgment Of An under

bound, BOZ could it be expected that he should

Ocean company, in imposing upon the Sur
company the whole risk OF the insurance
without communicating it's knowledge OF tht
circumstances, which might have made thu
latter unwilling to assume it, violated almos
every principle of the general rule OF Law
applicable to such cases. For these reasons
and without passing upon other questions dis
cussed, the court holds that the decree OF thu
circuit court must be reversed, and the cause
remanded with directions to enter decree dis

The readings of this lady at Cougre IS street
church Monday evening were of high order
OF merit, and afforded a rich entertainment to
tho good sized audience that, Notwithstanding
the Intense cold and perilons walking, greeted
her on her second appearance before the public
~ this city. She has great power over an au-
dlehce and sways them readily with laughter
or tears. The great charm of her reading is its
naturalness and perfect freedom from mouth
ing and straining for stage effects, while under
quiet manner she betrays the possession Of
great reserve force. Her forte is the dramatic
and pathetic. The readings were intersperssd
with music by choir of male voices, which
gave some pleasing selections, Miss Marsh pre-.
siding at the piano.

We, the undersigned members Of the Board
OF Trade of Portland, merchants, owners and

We, as practical men, consider the Treasury
Department to be the proper one TO control all
matters which have any connection with the
commerce of onr country, and think any steps
taken to put all matters and offices in the con-
troll of the army and navy to be wrong and
tending to conflict with the rights OF the peo-
