Lebanon Mutual Fire Ins. v. Hankinson
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · Decided April 5, 1886
2 Sadler 141; 3 A. 672

Lebanon Mutual Fire Ins. v. Hankinson

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam:

This case was submitted to the jury in a fair and correct charge. They were distinctly told if the change of the railroad track increased the danger of the building to fire so as to increase the rate of insurance, and the insured knew that fact or ought to have known it, they should find a verdict for the company. The verdict therefore establishes the fact that there was no such increased risk. We discover no error in the answers to the points.

Judgment affirmed.
