1Opinion of the CourtJustice Sheldon
This was an action upon a policy of insurance on a two-story frame dwelling house, and furniture, against fire, where a verdict- and judgment were recovered by the plaintiff for $500, and the defendant appealed.
The house was partially destroyed by fire, the upper portion being burned down to the second story. The policy contained the condition that the company might repair and restore the building. It accordingly undertook and assumed to do so, and afterward turned the house over to the defendant as having been repaired and restored. The claim of plaintiff is, that it was insufficiently done.
