1Opinion of the Court
SOMERVILLE, J. —
The bill is filed by the appellee, Mrs. Raden, to restore or reinstate two policies of fire insurance alleged to have been cancelled by fraud, or mistake of fact, and to re-establish these instruments as evidences of the liability of the defendant companies by which they were issued, and to incidentally enforce them by the rendition of moneyed decrees for the amount of the loss by fire, not exceeding the amount of the policies, which were each for the sum of $1,250. The court below granted the full relief prayed in the bill, holding both of the policies to be of binding force.
