1Opinion of the CourtMcCOY, J.
This action was instituted for the purpose of recovering upon an accident insurance policy issued by appellant to respondent. The venue was laid in Lawrence county and summons was served upon defendant, the appellant, in Brown county. Defendant in due time demanded a change of place of trial and made application to the circuit court of Lawrence county for an order changing the place of trial from Lawrence to Brown county. The application was denied, and exception taken, which ruling of the court is now assigned as error.
