A New Trial Ordered in a Case for Re-

A New Trial Ordered in Case for Re-
covery a Policy.
An opinion was handed down Yesterday
by the Supreme Court, sitting in banc, on
the appeal of Quong Tue Sing of San Jose
from the decision of the Superior Court OF
Santa Clara County, giving Judgment for
the defendant in his suit against the Anglo
Nevada Assurance Cooperation in a policy
insuring him against loss by fire. The only
question Involved was whether the policy
sued on was Cancelled before the fire &C.
CURED or not
The policy was procured by one Brandon,
acting as brokor, from tho local agent of
the respondent aud he was paid by the
agent IL commission OF 10 per cent. The
company was not satisfied with the risk aud
notified the agent to cancel it under clause
contained III the policy:
This insurance may also be terminated at any
time, at the option OF this corpof alton, on giving
notice TO that elect aud Iefunding or rendering
suitable proportion OF the premium for the
uDexpiied IeIm OF this policy, TO any person
named III this policy, whether as owner, mort
gagee or otherwise.
Ii is 4 part Of this contract that any person
other than the assured. or the duly authorized
agent OF this corporation, who may have pro-
cured this insu ance, shall be deemed 10 be the
agent OF The assured and not OF this corporation,
under any circumstances whatever, or in any
transaction relating TO this Insurance.
The local agent attempted to cancel the
policy through Brandon, who called at the
store of the appellant and informed him of
The cancellation and offered him $50 in gold
the amount paid on the policy, which the
appellant, however. refused to take. The
lower court regarded Brandon as acting for
the defendant corporation, and gave judg-
ment i'll its favor; also denying the motion
for new trial made by Sings attorney.
The Supreme Court ON the contrary but
with Associate Justice Fox dissenting, took
the ground that Brandon was not the duly
authorized agent OF the corporation, and by
the clause quoted could not act for it, and
that his statements that the policy was can
ceed were false, since the minds of both
parties had not met on that point, n assent

A Me sseng r-Boy Gives Evidence IN the
Fook Case.
The preliminary hearing Of Thomas Cur
ley, charged with the murder of Wong All
Fook a Chinese, on Pine street, near Frank
lin, on November 10Th, was resumed yester-
day in Police Court and further examina-
ton postponed until Wednesday evening at
o'clock.
James Conlon Jr., who was ass aulted by
Edward Kelly few days ago for having
testified in the case, appeared on the wit
ncss-stand for examination. His eyes were
black and swollen. His testimony was the
same as on his direct examination.
Patrick Sullivan, living at 229 Austin
street, near Van Ness avenue, testified that
he was standing at Kelly's stable, near the
scene OF the killing, but heard no strange
club, which is said to have been used in
beating Wong Fook to death, until it was
shown him in Chief Crowley's Office but he
saw Curley at the stable ON the night of the
killing
Michael Quill. a district messenger, living
at 204 st. Rose street, swore that he saw
two white men, one with a soft black hat,
and the other with hard white hat, beat
the Chinese with big club. The witness
was directly opposite them on the street
then and he heard the sound Of tie club as
it fell upon Wong's head. but was afraid to
60 across the street. When the men had
beaten their victim until he was insensitle,

LOUGER VS.. LANDLADY.

Damages.

Mrs. Sobleski of the Langham Sued for
Damages.
Ida j. Crowell has commenced an action
in the Superior Court to recover damages
from Mrs. L. G. Sobieski, proprietress of
the Hotel Langham, and in her complaint
asserts that last September the defendant
agreed to rent her certain room in the
hotel as soon as it was vacant.
Mrs. Crowell says that she was permitted
to occupy another apartment pending the re-
moval OF the occupant of the room which
she desired, but that about one month
later, when the apartment was vacated,
Mrs. Sobieski refused to allow her to take
possession, though having previously agreed
TO pay $40 month for her room and board.
In addition TO the injustice of not keeping
the agreement, Mrs. Crowel alleges that the
landlady, without apparent cause, proceeded
to make her life a burden, generally, by
threatening her with dire things, and finally
driving Ger from the house in disgrace and
humiliation.
For this and other acts too numerous to
specify the plaintiff prays for damages in
tile sum Of $4,000, and for $50 more for ex-
penses incurred in moving and securing new
Quarters.
