Opinion

Submitted February 25, 1876

Decided March 21, 1876

D. Pratt for the appellant.

M. Hopkins for the respondent.

Per Curiam.

We think that the charge of the judge that Willetts had a right to waive the provision in the policy requiring the plaintiff to furnish the proofs of loss, was erroneous; and for this reason the judgment must be reversed, and a new trial granted, with costs to abide the event.

All concur.

Judgment reversed.
