Thomas J. Ritch, Jr., for appellant. George Richards, for respondent.

Copp v. Home Ins.

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The facts are undisputed, and from them it appears that the dwelling house which the defendant insured was vacant and unoccupied for a period of more than 10 days prior to its burning. A clause in the policy of insurance upon which this action is founded provides that in such event the policy shall be void. " The complaint was therefore properly dismissed. The judgment and order should be affirmed, with costs.
