I'm an action on a fire insurance
policy, the main issue was whether the
fact that the fire was caused by the
operation of a gasoline engine by the
plaintiff for threshing grain in the
barn floor, voided the policy either be-
cause it violated the prohibited ar
ticles clause or the clause against in
crease of risk. The presiding Justice
ordered a nonsuit
Held. That although gasoline
was conceded to be included in the
prohibited list, it was not kept or
used" by the plaintiff under the facts
of this case within the inhibition of the
contract. These words imply some
thing more than possession for tenn
porory purpose.
"2. Nor was the increase of risk
clause violated which provides that
the policy shall be void If without the
written consent of the insurer "the
situation or circumstances affecting
the risk shall, by or with the advice,
agency or consent of the insured be so
altered as to cause an increase of such
risks" These words imply something
of duration, and a casual change of a
temporary character, such as in the
case at bar, does not render the policy
void as a matter of law
"3. That both clauses should be
construed in the light of the entire
contract, the situation and character
of the property insured and the
natural and necessary uses to which
it must be put by the owner, and the
application of this rule of construction
confirms the inference already drawn
from the precise language of the
clauses themselves.
"a. That the policy is not voided
when the use made of the prohibited
articles or the general use and opera
ton of the property is necessarily in
cident to the business of the insured.
and therefore presumed to be recogn-
lied and implicitly permitted by the in

had waived the requirement as to
