Southern Mutual Insurance Comp pany.
The Court of Appeals on Thursday
last. in Cabell and McGuire, trustees,
rs. fine Southern Mutual Insurance
/ Company and others, decided case Of
interest to lawyers as we'll as to about
tbirty-five hundred parties residing in
Richmond and the different counties OF
the State.
In October, 1876, the Southern Mu-
tual Insurance Company became in
solvent and made deed Of trust to
Drs. j. Grattan Cabell and Hunter
Mcclure conveying all Of its assets to
them for the benefit of its creditors.
These assets consisted almost exclu-
sively of deposit-notes given by the
mutual policy holders.
In 1877 the trustees brought suit in
the Chancery Court against about seven
hundred Of these mutual policy-holders,
and eventually succeeded in requiring
them TO pay up the unpaid portion Of
their notes; and this sufliced to pay
the preferred debts in full and about 25
per cent. of the others.
In 1882 the trustees filed an amended
bill in the same suit against all the
other mutual policy-holders who had
not settled their notes with the com.
pany, seeking to have part Of the un-
paid portion Of their notes paid in.
On the 2Sd of July, 1884, Judge
Barton, sitting for Judge Holiday,
decided that no call could be made
after the expiration Of the policies on
which tae notes were given, altho Ieh
the losses had accrued before, and dis
missed the amended bill.
The Court of Appeals determines
that this was wholly erroneous, and re-
verses the decree, and sends the case
back to the Chancery Court with in
structions to require the mutual policy
holders to pay up their notes.
The Court further decides tina. as the
claim Of the trustees representing the
creditors) is more than $500 the Court
has jurisdiction Of the case, although
none Of the defendants may be separate.
ly liable for that amount.
Mr.. George b. Harrison appeared for
the trustees and Messrs. j. Samuel
Parrish and s. ID. Davies for the mutual
policy-holders.
