Judge Dlodgett delivered noven decirions yester- dsy morning, the mostof them contalning mntters of Interest. 'The first caso was that of Eliza Janc Arick v The Bt. Louls Mutual Llfe-Ineurance . Company on the question of life-insurnnce policles. It seema that In June, 1868, Alfred A, Arick took ‘out an endowment policy for $10,000 on his own life, payable Junc, 1800, or at death, if ho dfed Defore that time, the annual premiom belng 053,20 for ont the nino policy, A years, When pald he . took rick $323.00 in cash, and gave a noto for A like amount payable {none year, at the samo time paying the interest thereon in advancoat tho rate of @ per cent. When the eccond prominm fell duc one-half was paid In cash, and the remainder by a eccond note, tho ine tercet on botl Lelng alwo pald in advance for the cnsning year. In 1808, at the time the third pro- qulum came due, onc-half waa pald In cash, the «old notes were taken up, and a note given for $817.70, that belng the amount due on thres notes, lces a dividend of $102.04, which had been declared the preceding year. In 1800 another dividend of 815,08 was declared, which, doducted from tho noto, left $77:2.08. No preminm was ! pald aftor 1860, nor any Intefest on the note, and in October, 1873, Arick dled. v The policy sas lrsucd on the half cash, half note, mon-forfeitable plan, and tho notes wera to pear iinfesoatat @ per cent, payoble in advence. The policy provided that 1f default was made in the payment the policy shonld ba commuted on a cer- tain basle, nnd according 10 this ratio it was §3, 000 iswhen Arick dicd. It was a! 150 provided that ' if “the Insured fatled to pay annually In advance the {{nterest on any unpafd notes or loans which may be owing by sald insured to sald Campany, on ac- yconntof any of the above mentloned Annual pre- niums or any part thereof, then and in such caso e said Compauy *hall not bo liable for tho pay- ment of the sum horeby insured or any part thoro- of, * thi mine.” “depended for s policy i ta hatl The Company was & ** mutual roserve and ceass and deter- * one, and the aeann of paying 11 Josses on .|’.|m preminms coliected, and the interest on ita oferred premiuma.
