For digest, see Victor v. Louise Mills, next above.
ActioN beard upon pleadings by Moore, J., at March Term, 1908, of MecklbNbuRQ.
This action is brought for the same purpose as and in many respects is similar to 'the case of Victor v. Louise Cotton Mills, the only substantial difference being that the defendant E. A. Smith was at the date of the issuance of the policy and its assignment and is now the president of the defendant manufacturing company. The defendant insurance company holds the policy assigned to the defendant manufacturing company as collateral security for a loan made to said company. The appeal is presented in the same manner upon the pleadings as the other. Ilis Honor overruled the demurrer, and plaintiff appealed-.

Opinion:
OoNNOii, J.
The only difference between this case and the other one, between the present plaintiff and the Louise Mills, is that the insured assignor is at this time the president of the corporation. In the view which we take of the case as set out in the opinion in that case, this fact does not affect the result. The preliminary questions in both eases are the same. For the reasons given in that opinion, we are of the opinion that the payment of the premiums on the policies is ultra vires. "We note in the pleading the allegation, admitted to be true, that the defendant company has contracted a loan upon the policy with the defendant insurance company. The rights of the companies will be adjusted as suggested in the other case. The judgment overruling the demurrer to thé answér is
Reversed.
