On Motion for Rehearing.
In their motion for rehearing, counsel for the plaintiff in error point out that the plaintiff received from the defendant $95 more than he was entitled to under the $500 policy paid by the defendant before this action was brought, and to allow the plaintiff to retain this sum in addition to recovering the full amount of the $1,000 policy would be to allow an unjust enrichment of the plaintiff. The plaintiff in error also concedes that under the evidence the plaintiff was entitled to some small sum as return of advance premiums, which, under the evidence most favorable to him, amounted to $3.10. It accordingly appears that, as to the sum of $95 less $3.10, or $91.90, the plaintiff has received an aggregate recovery greater than the amount sued for, and to which he would not be entitled under his pleadings or under the *450evidence adduced on the trial, and the judgment should be modified by having the plaintiff write off this sum from the amount of recovery.
The judgment is therefore affirmed on condition that the plaintiff write off therefrom the sum of $91.90; otherwise, it is reversed.

Judgment affirmed on condition.

Gardner, P. J., and Townsend, J., concur.
