Court orLaw ana ct.nnccrx

me whole of yesterday was con-
suincd In the Court of Law and Chan
Ger in the trial of the case of Ida e.
oliver vs.. the Mutual Life Insurance
Company. The object Of the suit is to
recover $4,000, the amount of insurance
ON the life of Mr.. Charles r. Oliver,
deceased. The case is a complicated
one. owing to the fact that Mr. Oliver
was not in possession of the policy at
the time of his death. which was the
result of an accident while he was
cunning. The beneficiary under the
policy alleged that the failure to pos
sess the policy was due to the failure
of the insurance company TO deliver
same after 1t had been taken out.
Many nice law points are involved,
and the verdict will he watched with
interest by the insurance agents and
companies, as it will form a precedent
Tor similar suits to follow if the plain
tiff is successful.
Attorney l.. 4. Baird represents the
plaintiff, and Mcssrs. Cole and Shul-
tice the defendants.
The case will not go to the Jury to-
night as they were adjourned about
noon until tomorrow. The attorneys
were still arguing on the Instructions
att o'clock last night. and II is inferred
from the hard fight they are making
over said instructions that the verdict
or the jury will depend on how the
judge instructs.
~ similar case. that Of Kate Oliver
VS.. the same insurance COMPANY. will
be tried as soon as the above case is
concluded.
