/In the.Duiiedin Supranie'Court en' Thursday,'Mr (Justice WilHatnß'gavo judgment in the caso of Bojvere. and. the .National Insurance Company for-'the claim of an ihsuranco policy.■ • The • insu--ranee was over a house and the furniture iii it. Tho Company paid the insurance, on the furniture, but elected to" roinstate the building; but tho plaintiff having altered the land thoy woro prevented fromroiiistatini>. Tho plaintiff contended that having paid for the furniture, tho Company could not elect to re-instate the building. His Honor holds that if a man's house and furniture were insured, and both wero burnt, clearly the amount of the loss was the two together; and it could never have been intended to allow a Company to choso at pleasiiro somo items, and say these we elect to'pay for. Looking at tho nature of the contract,' and at tho fact chat the condition does not clearly give the Company the rishtto reinstate a part, they havo, by paying for a part, lost the iiiiht of election to reinstate, and they must pay for tho rest.
