ACCIDENT IN BATTLE.
INSURANCE CLAIM UPHELD. A decision was recently given In the Brisbane District Court by Judge Jameson, in a case in which S. R. Howard, a returned wounded soldier, claimed from the City Mutnual Insurance Company £IOO in respect of an accident policy. The accident was alleged to have occurred in France through the prematur explosion of a British shell while Howard was advancing on the German lines. The defence was that the plaintiff was injured in the ordinary course of warfare. His Honour found that Howard was injured by an accident within the meaning of the policy, and gave jr.Qgmerit against;the City Mutual for £IOO with costs. He added that the matter was of such importance that he would give a written judgment in January.
