Crown Point Iron Company, Appellant v. Ætna Insurance Company, Respondent; Crown Point Iron Company, Appellant, v…

Summary

The Court held that surrender of a fire insurance policy with a request for cancellation, addressed to an authorized insurer agent, effected termination under the 1880 statute, affirming the judgment against the plaintiff for the Etna policy; however, for the other policies the insurer failed to prove receipt of the cancellation request before the fire, so the plaintiff recovered on those claims.
