tries depending thereon by the adoption

TEN proposed Icy Joseph Chamberlain.
In the course of the discussion 10th the

Rovinski VS.. Northern Assurance Co.
Same VS.. Fire ms. Co. of Phila. Re-
script by Whitehouse. j.
The plaintiff had $500 insurance on
his household goods, furniture and
wearing apparel, in a small house at
Rumford Falls, owned by J. w.
Withee. The house was not greatly
damaged by the fire. but the plaintiffs
schedule of loss on his personal prop
erty. amounted in the aggregate 20
$2O76.00
The fire occurred Oct. 10. 1902, at 4
o'clock in the morning. There was no
person in the house at the time. The
plaintiffs wife, to whom he had been
married about year, left two weeks
before. for visit to her parents in
Montreal. The two rOOmers who Oc-
cupied a chamber in the house some
part of the time had left, one before
the departure of the wife. and one a
few days after. The plaintiff was
stopping that night at his fathers
house on another street.
The plaintiffs house consisted of
three small rooms below, parlor, din
ing-roOm and kitchen, and three cham
bers above. The single chimney in
the house was so located as to receive
tunnels from each of the lower rooms
and also from the hallway above; but
for several months before the fire. only
the kitchen stove had been set up for
use. Next to the chimney, there was
a dining-room closet 36 inches wide
and II inches deep. The plaintiff
says he built or attempted to build
coal fire in the kitchen stove about 8
o'clock in the evening before the fire
broke out at o'clock in the morning,
although he did not intend to sleep
there that night.
He says he built it in the ordinary
way, closed the drafts and left every
thing all right when he went home be-
tween 9 and 10 o'clock. But this at
tempt to build a coal fire was mani
testify unsuccessful and the unburned
coal found the next day in the kitchen
stove and the absence Of any defect in
the chimney before the fire afforded an
apparent refutation of the theory that
the fire was caused by an overheated
stove.
The fire was promptly extinguished,
and II appears to have been confined
to the central part of the house near
the chimney and to this dining room
closet.
"a All the evidence tending to show
fraud in the plaintiffs proof OF loss
considered in connection with these
facts and circumstances and With the
plaintiffs improbable explanation is
utterly irreconcilable, with the plant
IFS theory.
In the first place, the conclusion Is
irresistible that the plaintiffs schedule
OF loss embraced articles not in the
house at the time of the fire. 1t in
cludes at least Is articles of clothing
OF the alleged value of $a72OO claimed
to nave been hung in this dining room
closet s. inches by II inches in size.

Rescript by Whitehouse, J.
The plaintiffs recovered verdict Of
$4,000 for the alleged breach of con-
tract on the part of the defendant
company in refusing to accept a cargo
of sardine herring bargained for at
$500 per hogshead.
There was some conflict of testi-
mony in relation to the precise terms
of the representation made by the
plaintiffs in regard to the quality of
the herring: but in the absence of any
representation, the law would imply a
warranty that they were reasonably
suitable for the purpose for which
they were known by the plaintiffs to
have been purchased.
The defendants agents actually re-
ceived rs hogsheads from the cargo
and claim that they found them to be
unsOund and unfit for sardines and
eventually consigned them to the fer
tilizer. For this reason they refused
to accept the remainder of the herring
and SO notified the plaintiffs. The
plaintiffs carrieds away the remainder
