The opinion of the Court was delivered by

This case was heard in connection with the case of The State of South Carolina, Bx Relatione Phoenix Mutual Life Insurance Company, a body corporate under the laws of the State of Connecticut, having its principle place of business in the city of Hartford, in the State of Connecticut, and duly licensed to do business in the State of South Carolina, petitioner, against Fitz FI.
