tainment in the auditorium. A fancy

Interesting Insurance Decision.

At the May term of court, before
Judge Starr, was tried the suit of F.
L. Wilkins to recover from Whitney
Glass Works $176.S5, amount of pre-
MUM on a fire insurance policy. The
insurance was placed by one Robin
son, an insurance broker, who col-s
lected the premium from Glass Com
pany but did not pay F. L. Wilkins.
The broker, later, was declared a
bankrupt. F. L. Wilkins previously de-
manded payment of Whitney Glass
Works, and on its refusal to pay this
suit was brought. d. o. Watkins rep
resented the plaintiff and A. Fl. Swack
hamer and S. S. Iszard, the defendant.
Judge Starr has filed his opinion in
favor of the defendant The opinion
is lengthy one, the conclusion being
That the plaintiff had an opportunity
to insist upon payment of the premium
before the policy left her possession.
Enforcement of this right made it i'm
possible for loss to be imposed upon
any one concerned in the transaction.
Instead, the plaintiff surrendered the
policy to the broker, charged the pre-
MUM and extended to him credit of
nearly four months.
The fact that plaintiff continued to
deal with the broker Notwithstanding
the delay in payment of premium, is
important in ascertaining whether
she recognized the broker as her
debtor or was willing to entrust him
with the duty of receiving and remit
ting the premium.
1t would seem, therefore, that by
this method of dealing, the plaintiff
either constituted the broker her
agent for the collection of the pre-
MUM or recognized him as debtor
with the knowledge that in the usual
course of business the premium would
be paid to the broker by the insured.
The conclusion reached upon either
of the two views just expressed re-
suits in holding that the insured was
absolved from all liability to the plain
tiff by the payment of the premium to
the broker
1t is understood that this is friend
ly suit, many similar transactions be-
ing involved in Roberts transactions
with other agencies. 3
