§ 130 (Mo.) A count, charging that accused and another jointly stole a horse, could not be joined with another count charging that accused assisted in the escape of such other after he alone had stolen the same horse, not being authorized by Rev. St. 1909, §§ 4528, 5103, 5104. -State v. Christian, 161 S. W. 736.

M. Radford Grocery Co. v. Owens, 161 S. W. 911.

§118 (Tex.Civ.App.) In a suit for an injunetion, the rule that the allegations of the petition must be taken most strongly against complainant is reenforced by the requirement that the material elements entitling complainant to relief shall be sufficiently certain to negative every reasonable inference possible on other supposable facts to the contrary.-Ross v.

INSANE PERSONS. See Habeas Corpus, § 20.

II. INQUISITIONS. $13 (Mo.App.) Rev. St. 1909, § 476, providing for inquisitions without notice to or the presence of the alleged insane person, is un

constitutional.-Citizens' State Bank of Trenton v. Shanklin, 161 S. W. 341.

§ 146 (Tex.Civ.App.) Insured is ordinarily bound by the terms of the policy, whether he reads it or not.-Indiana & O. Live Stock Ins. Co. v. Keiningham, 161 S. W. 384.

Nor is. he entitled to credits for sums furnished defendant's adult daughter to defray necessary expenses during her last illness.-Id.

V.

Shanklin, 161 S. W. 341.

§ 66 (Tex.Civ.App.) Plaintiff was not entitled to a return of the consideration as a condition to the canceling of certain deeds executed by an insane person in the absence of proof that he had the money at the time of his death or that it had been used to purchase necessaries or been invested by or for him for the benefit of his estate and was still on hand.-Brown v.

V. THE CONTRACT IN GENERAL. (A) Nature, Requisites, and Validity. $145 (Tex.Civ.App.) Where live stock insurance policies did not provide that the policy was in force only while the horse was in a certain town, and insured requested a similar renewal policy, insured could assume that the policy issued did not contain a provision so limiting the company's liability.--Indiana & O.

[blocks in formation]

§ 666 (Mo.App.) Though an indemnity policy fixed $5,000 as the limit for any one injured, the insurer, being entitled to conduct the defense and bound to pay the costs and expenses thereof, held bound to defray the interest accrued on a judgment pending appeal in accordance with Rev. St. 1909, § 7181, though the judgment was for $5,000.-Century Realty Co. v. Frankfort Marine Accident & Plate Glass Ins. Co., 161 S. W. 624, 631; Same v. Traveler's Ins. Co., Id.

§ 668 (Ky.) Where the defense was cancellation by notice accepted by the insured's agent, and there was no evidence that the agent had any authority other than to procure the policy, a peremptory instruction was properly given for plaintiffs.-Dixie Fire Ins. Co. v. A. Layne & Bro., 161 S. W. 530.

XX. MUTUAL BENEFIT INSURANCE. (B) The Contract in General. § 723 (Tex.Civ.App.) False statements that one had never had dysentery or any disease of the genital organs or undergone a surgical operation are material to the risk, within Acts 31st Leg.

it learned of insured's death on the day after paying dues in arrears, but instead, requesting the appointment of an administrator for insured, knowing that she had no other property, could be considered in determining whether it had knowledge of her illness while retaining her premiums prior to her death, as well as on the question of waiver of the forfeiture after her death.-Id. '

A forfeiture for nonpayment of premiums is waived where a benefit association, with knowledge of the cause of forfeiture, causes plaintiff to incur additional expense in furnishing proof.-Id.

with knowledge of insured's ill health when By accepting and retaining back premiums they were paid, a mutual benefit association waived a forfeiture for nonpayment.-Id. Though a mutual benefit association did not know that its agent had accepted back premiums after the time within which they could be paid, or while insured was in bad health, it ratified the agent's act by retaining them after learning that she was in bad health when the agent received them, so as to waive the forfeiture as of the time the agent accepted the premiums.-Id.

$ 756 (Mo.App.) Under the by-laws held that a suspension did not become effective, even though the member was notified of his default. until the council declared him to be suspended. -Bange v. Supreme Council Legion of Honor of Missouri, 161 S. W. 652.

To sustain a forfeiture for nonpayment of contributions, it must appear that the notice of suspension was received by the member in time for him to have acted upon it, where it was not delivered to his regular address.-Id.

For the notice of suspension to conclude a forfeiture, it must be an official one.-Id.

§ 745 (Tex.Civ.App.) Acts 31st Leg.

Supreme Ruling of Fraternal Mystic Circle v. Hansen, 161 S. W. 54.

8751 (Mo.App.) Where the by-laws required notice of contributions called to be mailed to the member at his regular address, the mailing of such notice was a condition precedent to the right of the association to declare a forfeiture of death benefits.-Bange v. Supreme Council Legion of Honor of Missouri, 161 S. W. 652.

Parties to an insurance contract may agree that the mailing of notices for contributions shall constitute notice to the member.-Id.

$755 (Mo.App.) Waiver of forfeiture of a benefit certificate for nonpayment of dues by the acceptance of a premium is not based on contract or actual intention, but on estoppel to insist on conditions inconsistent with the acceptance or rejection of the premium.-Keys v. National Council, Knights & Ladies of Security, 161 S. W. 345.

A forfeiture of a benefit certificate once waived cannot afterwards be revived.-Id.

As between the association and a beneficiary, the rule that actual knowledge of the cause of forfeiture must be shown to work a waiver will not be applied, if it should have known of the facts by proper attention to its business. -Id.

A waiver of a forfeiture of a mutual benefit certificate may be inferred when the association, after knowledge of the cause of forfeiture, requires insured under the policy to do some act or incur some expense.-Id.

Knowledge of the local financial officer of a mutual benefit association that insured was more than 60 days in arrears when she was zeinstated charged the association with such knowledge.-Id.

The conduct of a mutual benefit association in not unequivocally declaring a forfeiture when

the place where the member would be likely to get his mail.-Id.

For acquiescence in an illegal suspension to bind the beneficiary, it need not appear that the member had official notice of his suspension. -Id.

[ocr errors]

8757 (Mo.App.) Where a member acquiesced in a suspension, his beneficiary is bound by such acquiescence, even though the suspension was not legal.-Bange v. Supreme Council Legion of Honor of Missouri, 161 S. W. 652.

§ 761 (Tex.Civ.App.) An application for reinstatement in a fraternal mutual benefit association held a warranty that the member had had none of the diseases mentioned in the original application after the certificate was issued.-Supreme Ruling of Fraternal Mystic Circle v. Hansen, 161 Š. W. 54.

In the absence of a statute limiting the effect of a breach of warranty, on which one is reinstated to membership in a fraternal mutual benefit association which has issued a benefit certificate on his life, that he has not had certain diseases, the breach works a forfeiture of the contract.-Id.

(F) Actions for Benefits. $818 (Mo.App.) In an action on a certificate defended on the ground of forfeiture for nonpayment of premiums, evidence of the retention of back premiums paid after actual notice of insured's ill health when paying them was admissible upon the association's intention in originally receiving the premiums.Keys v. National Council, Knights & Ladies of Security, 161 S. W. 345.

In an action on a certificate defended on the ground of forfeiture by nonpayment of back premiums until insured was ill, evidence that insured's neighbors knew that she was sick was not admissible to show that the company had actual knowledge of her sickness.-Id.

$819 (Mo.App.) Slight evidence showing an intention to waive a forfeiture of a mutual benefit certificate for nonpayment of premiums will prevent a forfeiture.-Keys v. National Council, Knights & Ladies of Security, 161 S. W. 345.

In an action on a certificate defended on the ground of forfeiture by nonpayment of premiums until after sickness, evidence that the association retained back premiums after notice of insured's ill health when she paid them was admissible, as showing a waiver of forfeiture by ratifying the act of the association's agent in theretofore accepting back premiums without a health certificate, so as to show that insured could rely on such a course.-Id.

§ 819 (Mo.App.) Evidence held to make out a prima facie case, casting on the defendant the burden of establishing its defense.-Bange v. Supreme Council of Legion of Honor of Missouri, 161 S. W. 652.

§ 825 (Mo.App.) The question whether a fraternal benefit association has followed a course of conduct as might waive a forfeiture of a certificate for nonpayment of dues is usually for the jury.-Keys V. National Council, Knights & Ladies of Security, 161 S. W. 345. in an action on a mutual benefit certificate, defended on the ground of forfeiture by nonpayment of premiums for three months, and offering to pay such arrears while ill, whether the association, by accepting such dues and requesting the appointment of an administrator, waived the forfeiture held a jury question.-Id. Evidence held to make it a jury question whether the forfeiture was waived by failing to unequivocally declare a forfeiture on learning that the premiums were paid while insured was sick.-Id.

§ 825 (Mo.App.) The question of the insured's regular address held for the jury.-Bange v. Supreme Council Legion of Honor of Missouri, 161 S. W. 652.
