IMPORTANT INSURANCE DECISION.
An Insurer Brought Suit Against Al
Agent of a Foreign Company.

An Insurer Brought Suit Against An
Agent of a Foreign Company.
Mr.. Justice Dean of the Supreme
Court, handed down a decision Jan.
9Th in an insurance case, which is
of great moment to insurance agents.
The case went up from Allegheny
county. An insurer suffered loss
by fire, and, attempting to recover,
learned that the risk had been placed
with a wildcat Virginia COM
pany which had never been licensed
to do business in this state. As he
could not reach the company he
brought suit against the agents or
brokers who had effected his insur-
ance. The act of May 1 1875 makes
the agent of any insurance company
of any other state or government
which does not comply with the laws
of this state personally liable on all
contracts of insurances made by OF
through him, directly or indirectly,
for or in behalf of any such COM
panys. At the trial III the lower
court the agent tried to avoid respon-
sibility, by pleading that they were
not the agents of the company, but
were acting for the property owner
who asked the insurance. Judge
McClung in his charge to the jury
held that an agent of an insurance
company could be so constituted
without formal appointment, writ
ing risks for the company, and an
acceptance of them by it, was a rati-
| fication of his act, and to all intents
and purposes made him its agent.
The jury accepted this law and rem
dered verdict against the agents
for the amount of loss on the policy
The Supreme court affirms this doc
trine, and it is one which will tend
to make agents more careful about
writing policies in companies not Ii
censed to do business in this state.
1t is a decision which goes far to-
wards protecting the insured party,
and if the company is not liable, it
makes the agent responsible.
