Head Matter:
ROSENFIELD, Respondent, v. ÆTNA ACCIDENT & LIABILITY CO., Appellant.
(Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Fourth Department.
October 22, 1915.)
Action by Morris Rosenfield against the ¿Etna Accident & Liability Company.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Judgment reversed, and new trial granted, with costs to appellant to abide event. Held: Property on which actual loss could not be accurately determined from plaintiff's books and accounts is excepted from the policy and not insured. Defendant's examination of plaintiff as authorized by the policy, after the loss,-even if defendant then knew that little, if any, of the loss could be shown by any of plaintiff's books or accounts, was not a waiver of the condition against liability for loss not so proved. Draper v. Oswego County Fire Relief Ass'n, 190 N. Y. 12, 82 N. E. 755. It was error to submit to the jury the question as to whether defendant had waived such condition of the policy.
