ACCIDENT INSURANCE.
Wellington, July 23
At the Supreme Court In the case Hollister v Accident Insurance Company of New Zealand, the Attorney General, for the Company, urged that the amount of the policy could not be recovered as notice of the accident which had caused the death of Hollister had not been given within seven days as required by the po icy. Mr Justice Richmond asked whether such a condition would stand in a case where a person disappeared and It wa* not kniwa for some time afterwards that he w»a dead.
The Attorney General said that that appeared to be so. His Honor replied that if the public were aware of th»t state of things he did not think that companies insuring against accidents would do much business. His Honor entered up judgment for defendants.
