THE NEWS OF NORFOLK ON PAGES 2, & $

issued to Haupt expressly negatives all
idea that the parties thereto contracted
with reference to such custom. In so
tar as any local usage is inconsistent
with the express terms of a contract. IL
certainly cannot be said that by impli-
cation such usage became part and par
eel OF that Contract. Parties by their
contracts may disregard any usage or
custom ordinarily prevailing in their
transactions. and. If they make the
terms OF their contracts contrary to the
usage, they must have intended their
contracts to exclude the usage" Ap-
plying this cardinal rule of construc-
ton, "a custom OF receiving overdue
premiums" is not an excuse for failure
to pay a premium in accordance with
the express stipulations contained in q
policy of insurance.
NO insurance company could with
safety grant indulgence to any of its
policy holders i'll n given locality IL by
so doing it became. as matter of law.
bound to grant like indulgence to all of
its patrons in that locality, whether IL
was wiring so to do or not. The estab-
lishEnent of such n doctrine would rem
der 1t out of the question for such n
company to grant accommodation in
many instances where such a course
would be mutually advantageous to IT.
self and its policy holders. We under
stand the law to be that all persons,
natural or artificial. are at liberty to
waive at pleasure the benefits of con-
tract stipulations in 4 particular in
stance, without losing the right to in
sist upon such stipulations in other in
stances, SO long as no one is miSled and
induced to act to his injury. Surely it
cannot be said that, simply because an
insurance company grants to one policy
holder indulgence or accommodation
to which he is not entitled under the
strict terms of his contract. another po-
Icy holder has the right to act upon
the assumption that similar indulgence
or favor will be shown him, notwith-
standing he cannot claim under his
contract any shadow of right to the
same. Affirmed.
