MacRae, J.
(dissenting): I cannot concur with the reasoning or the conclusion arrived at by a majority of the Court in this case. It seems to me that by all the rules of construction, the agreement of defendant-that the policy should be incontestable had reference to the matters named in the same sentence, “ all restrictions of travel, occupation or residence.”
Further, the express agreement in the original policy was that, if the insured should die by suicide, the company should not be liable beyond the net value of the policy. In other words, in the case of natural death, the amount of insurance was ¡$2,000; in case of suicide, it was only the net value of the policy, and this the defendant is not contesting.
