(Argued October 9, 1923;

Appeal, by permission, from a judgment of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the first judicial department, entered April 9, 1923, unanimously affirming a judgment in favor of plaintiffs entered upon a decision of the court on trial at Special Term.

The questions presented were whether the plaintiffs were entitled to maintain suit upon the carrier’s policy of insurance set forth in the complaint and whether they were entitled to recover, under such policy, the full value of their goods, without deduction of premiums due and owing under the policy.
