ABINGDON, Dec. 10-0n Saturday last fox
hunting party consisting of ladies and gentle
men of this neighborhood rode to Bush River

a very pleasant time. The morning being cool
and the ground somewhat frozen the party

hea rtily enjoyed goes without saying. After
listening with merriment to several of Mr.
Greenland's jokes and funny sayings, for
which he is famous and promising to come
some day soon again, the party started again
on the hunt. Then for the second time the
hounds were turned loose and in short time

An Interesting Case Decided by the
Court of Appeals.

On Friday the Court of Appeals of Mary
land handed down their decision in the case
of James K. Hamilton use of Harlan and
Hopkins VS.. The Agricultural Insurance Com
pany, of WATERFOWL, New York, reversing the
decision of this court, which awarded judg-
ment of $1;251 81 last May in favor of the
plaintiffs.
Mr. Hamilton had insured his house and
furniture and afterward removed to another
house, leaving part of his furniture in the
house from which he removed and which af-
terward burned down. He had assigned his
interest in the policy to Messrs. Hopkins and
Harlan. The Court of Appeals says: The
validity of the policy is made to depend upon
the ENSURED continuing to occupy the premises,
and no matter to whom the loss may be made
payable it cannot be recovered by any one il
by the terms explicitly set forth in the policy
no right of action can accrue at all upon VIC
lation of some specific condition whose observ-
ance by the insured is made necessary to fix
the insurers liability. Judgment reversed,
with costs above and below.
The case was argued by Harlan and Will
Iisms for appellee, and Robinson and Gorrell
for appellants.
