Head Matter:
KNOX, Respondent, v. JOHNSON, Appellant.
(Supreme Court, General Term, Fourth Department.
November, 1894.)
Action by J. Theodore Knox against Warner Johnson.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
We are of the opinion that the court erred in receiving evidence that the credit was given to defendant. A majority of the court are of the opinion that the court erred in charging that a recovery could be had upon the letter and the standard mortgage clause, and that they amount to a contract between the parties, so that the nlaintiff was entitled to recover the premium on demand. Judgment and order reversed, and new trial ordered, with costs to abide the event.
