LAW SUIT. -Jones & Halls vs The Econoraical Mutual Fire Insurance Company: -It will be remembered that, in October 1808, the frame building which Messrs. Jones & Halls carried on their evaporating. business at Winchelsea was destroyed by fire. The buiding was used for evaporating apples and for storing evaporat- ed fruit, thetijig duct of the evaporat- ing process anTralso for storing poul- try, seeds, binder twine, etc. In Dec- • ember 1897 Janes & Halls effected an insurance with the Economical Mu- tual Fire Insurance ,Company of Ber- lin, covering the contents of th.e build- ing which were described in the pol- icy as follows: On evaporators $250; on reserve stock of Country General Store, $350.00. At the time of the fire the building contained three eva- porators and their appliances and it quantity of evaporated fruit. The Insurance Company paid the loss on the evaporators being $2.50, but refused to pay the loss on the evaporated. fruit, contendiug that it was covered by the words of the poi- icy,or in other words that it was not re- serve stock of Country general store, Jones & Halls were forced to Sue the company and brought their action for $350.00, the amount of the insur- ance on the reserve stock, The action was tried at Goderich last Thursday before Judge Masson and a jury, and resulted in a verdict for plaintiffs for full amount, of their claim and costs. On the trial it was proved for the plaintiff that the agent who wrote the insurance, intended the words "Reserve stock of Connery general store" to cover the evaporat- ed fruit. The loss was admittedly an honest otie as Jones & Halls lost by the fire more than twice the amount of the insurance. Resistance to just claims is it poor advertise- ment for any insurance company and we look upon the defence set up by the Economical in this action based as it was purely upon techni- cal construction of the words of their own contract. as a most dis- creditable one.
