Heading: Admissibility of the Marie Bryan Johnson policy.

Text: The applications for the two policies on the lives of Theresa Ann and Marie Bryan were made at the same time. This was set forth in the bill of complaint by Insurance Company, and copies were attached to the bill of complaint. Insured moved to strike all reference in the pleadings to the Marie Bryan policy and objected to the admission of evidence concerning that policy. The action of the trial court in considering the Marie Bryan application and policy is assigned as error. We hold that the application and the policy issued pursuant thereto on the life of Marie Bryan were properly considered by the trial court. No authority is cited for the proposition urged by Insured on this question. All issues were clearly and convincingly established by other evidence on behalf of Insurance Company, but the Marie Bryan application and policy corroborated the other evidence that there was in fact a mutual mistake in the issuance of the Theresa Ann policy.
