LIFE INSURANCE ROMANCE.
Curious Case Of a Policy Involving
Many Interesting Points IN
England.

A very curious case OF insurance 70
Gently came to light In London In con-
nection with the late marquis OF Dcne-
gal
A policy was taken out in 1880 against
issue being born to the marquis, who,
at that time, was In his SEVENTEEN year
and was living apart from his wife. The
marchioness, however. died. and he mar
ried again In his eighty-frst year. and
had son.
Consequently by the payment Of sim
gle premium OF 91S1 IS to the Norwich
Union the insurer has received f2,5Oo.
The premium was paid in one lump sum-
An official Of this company recently
stated that such assurances were fire.
quent, and the rate was very low. as the
companies rarely had to pay. This. he
said, was the first time they had ever
been called upon to do SO.
The Law, Union & Crown company
have had one similar case, In which they
paid q claim Of E23000.
In this case the husband. well-known
solicitor, was 66 and the wife g. The
wife died and the husband. at the age OF
II, married lady Of 10. She had 4 child
two years later.
An Official OF the Legal q General Life
company spoke Of two contingencies
against which assurances are taken out.
and which are not generally known.
One is q policy against a person who Is
insane recovering his reason and being
able to make another will.
The other is policy granted to per-
son who has lent money on reversion
to a borrower who might be requested to
change his name to that Of the testator
under whose will he expects to benefit.
