KNOX COUNTY

The following decision from the
law court was received yesterday:
KNOX COUNTY.
Arthur A. Clark VS.. The Insurance
Co. of North America.
Rescript, Foster, J.-Where a valid
contract of insurance has been effected
and the assured has accepted the policy
in particular company, the agent Of
the company mas no right to cancel such
policy, or place the assured in any other
company, without the authority or re-
quest Of the assured.
Where by the terms Of the policy or con-
tract of insurance, an insurance company
reserves the right to cancel the policy by
giving five days. notice to the assured,
such cancellation can be effected only by
giving such notice. or by the assent of
the assured. Without some stipulation
authorizing it. an insurance company
can not cancel a contract of insurance
once entered into, except with the as
sent Of the assured.
Nor will such notice by the company
be available after the liability of the COM
pany has become absolute by destruc-
t1on ct the property by fire.
The contract of insurance is to be test
ed by the principles applicable to the
making of contracts in general. The
terms of the contract must have been
agreed upon.
If the contract is incomplete in any
material particular. or the assent OF eth
er party is wanting, 1t is OF no binding
force.
The property insured must be in exis-
tence at the time the contract of insur-
anoe Is made. in order to render such
contract valid.

EXCEPTIONS OVERRULED.
Rescript From tho Law Court in the Case
of Bennett vs. Dyer.

The following rescript was yesterd ay re-
ceived from the law court in a Cumber-
land county case:
Elbridgo q. Bennett ct ais vs. Howard
E. n yer, ct ais, in equity.
Rescript, Whitehouse, J--It is settled
law that il one induces or knowingly per-
mits another to perform in part an oral
agreement for the sale of land, on the
faith of it's full performance by both
sides, and it clearly appears that such
acts of part performance were done in
part performance of the contract,
that damages recoverable in
law would not adeau ately compensate
the plaintiff and that fraud and injustice
would result to him if the agreement be
held void, then on the principle of equi-
table estoppel, court of equity Is au-
thorized to compel specific performance
by the other party in contradiction to the
positive terms Of the statute of frauds.
But on all these points the evidence
must be full, definite and conclusive.
And ordinarily no Importance can he ct
tached to acts of part performance done
BY the defendant or party to be charged.
If the defendant chooses to waive the
benefit il his own acts of part perfur-
nance, which would entitle him to al
lege fraud on the part of the plaintiff,
it cannot be that the plaintiff may force
him to rely upon them, thus in effect
himself setting up his own fraud.
The act of part performance relied mp
on in this case is not only found to have
been done solely by the defendants, but
upon every point Of view, it is manifest
ly insufficient to justify the court in de-
creeing specific performance. The act of
"ploughing. driving park upon the land
did not occasion any injury or damage
for which remedy at law would not
afford full and just compensation. The
plaintiffs can be restored to their former
position with out specific performance OF
the contract. The principle of equitable
estoppel does no tapply.
Exceptions overruled.

WHERE ARE THEY ATs

When our Republican friends take ac
count of their political stock in trade,
as far as conventions have been held.
they must be greatly at loss to know
where they are on the money question
While the leading spokesman of the
party persist in saying that it is for
Sound money!" and that they will
never consent to anything less, their
party conventions are framing a choice
assortment Of miscellaneous blanks on
the currency question, and their fore
most candidates for the presidency
either preserve a significant silence or,
like Mr.. Mckinley, break out into such
equivocal speech that their friends wish
they had not spoken.
A glance over the field shows that
the attitude of the st. Louis conven-
ton is more uncertain today than it
ever was before. The Ohio convention
at the instigation of Mr. Mckinley, an
nounced a complicated straddle which

cial statistics of the nation from 1867
to 1895 are tabulated and presented in
way that makes it a compendium of
information touching our commercial

this master of statistics has given the
public since his most fortunate selec-
ton for this post the table presents
data in such a way that their rela-
tons and effects can be apprehended
almost at a glance.
While the table contains matter for
far more extended notice than our
limits permit, there are some features

several columns, the per capita each

legislation is shown in the columns of
money ''in the country" and Sin circu-

difference was slight, never exceeding
