IMPORTANT INSURANCE CASE.

(per press association.)

DUNKDIN, AugUßt 10. In the Suprema Court to-day Mr Justice Williams gave judgment m the case of Bowers v the National Insurance Company, a claim on an insurance policy, The insurance was over the house and furniture In It. The Company paid the insurance on the furniture, but elected to reinstate the bntlding ; but the plaintiff, having alienated the land, they were prevented from reinstating. Plaintiff contended that, havtag. paid for the furniture, the Company could not eleot to reinstate the building. His Honor held that If a man's house and farnlture were insured, and both burnt, clearly the amount of h!n losb was the value of the two together, and it could never have been intended to allow a Company to ohoosa »t pleasure some items and say, " these we eleot to pay for." Looking at the nature of the contract, and at the faot that the condition does not clearly give the Company the right to reinstate a part, they had by paying for part lo*t the right of eleotion to reinstate, and that they must p*y for the rest. Judgment was given for £100, disbursements, and witneases' expenses.
