TRAVELLING WITH A DRUNKEN
FATHER.

When the train arrived at eight O'Clock
last evening from Boston, it brought
among its passengers a man, accompanied
by little child about three years OF age
The man had come from Lawrence, Mass,
according to his incoherent story-for ne
was badly intoxicated-and was on the
way with the child to Lewiston. He bore
some scratches on his face and said he
had trouble with his wife before leaving
home. He gave tho name OF Anthony
Willett, was Frenchman, and about
thirty live years old. He was taken to the
police station for he was in no tit con-
dition to either take care of the child or
to travel, and Deputy Sterling called up
Lawrence by telephone. The marshal OF
that city said that the name of Anthony
Willett was not known to the police of
Lawrence, but that he would try and find
out about him as the man may have had
serious trouble with his wife. Willett
was placed in the lodging room and the
officers looked after the child.

| This rescript has been received from the
Law court:
YORK COUNTY.
Geo. W. Hilton VS.. Phoenix Insurance.
Co.
| Rescript by Savage, J.-This is an
action upon an insurance policy. Ihe
house insured and burned was unoccupied
at the time the policy was issued and re
manned SO ever after. 1t was described In
the policy as OCCUPIED by assured. An
other house insured by the same policy
was decribed as occupied by the assured
as residence.
The court is satisfied by an examination
of the evidence that the ct OF non-occu-
psncy was known to the deIenuant
asent who issued the policy. Held, tnab
BY force of the statue, r. ST.. CHAP. 10,
section 80, the agents knowledge must pe
deemed to be the knowledge OF the de-
| fendant, and that all misdescrlpt1ohs
| known to the agent must be regarded as
waived by the defendant; and that the
policy was not void by reason OF false
| The house being unoccupied at the time
the policy was issued, and that fact being
known to the agent, the policy was valid.
| The defendant in acknowledging the
receipt of tho proof of loss made no OBJ
| jection to it for want of form or omission
of certificate of magistrate, but did OBJ
ject on other grounds. Held. that there
was sufficient evidence of a waiver OF In
formalitiss or omissions in the proof OF
loss.
The plaintiff can neither read nor write.
There was misstatement as to occupancy
in his proof of loss which the plaintiff
claims was the mistake of the scrivener
who prepared the proof. We do not think
it is shown that the misstatement was in
ten tionally made by the plaintiff.
The plaintiff in his proof greatly over
estimated the amount of his loss. To
knowingly and Intentionally overestimate
loss, either in items or amount, in a
sworn proof of loss is false swearing and
Is fraudulent, and bars recovery, but a
misstatement honestly made, or a mis-
take of judgment or memory differs from
one which is knowingly and intenti snally
false. The plaintiff apparently proceeded
upon the theory that he was entitled to
have money enough to replace the burned
buildings, and that this was the measure
of his loss. This was error, but not SO
| uncommon an error as to justify the
court in saying that the mere fact that
| the owner has committed such an error IL
sufficient evidence of Intentional false
swearing.
The true measure of damages is, not
what it would cost to replace burned
! buildings with new ones, but it is the
value of the buildings themselves, as they
stood upon the land just before the tire.
| Governed by this principle, 1t is the
opinion of the court that the plaintiff
should be allowed to recover eight hum
| dred dollars for the loss of his buildings.
he should also recover sixty dollars for
his hay which was burned.
Judgment for the plaintiff for eight
hundred and sixty dollars ($860). and in
terest from August IL, 1888.
