Michigan Supreme Court April 28, 1880 (Farmers' Mutual Fire Insurance v. Crampton)

Marston, C. J.

The offer to show on cross-examination of the plaintiff a fraudulent overvaluation of the property insured at the time he made his application should have been admitted. Notice was given with the plea of the general issue that the defendant would give in evidence that the plaintiff was guilty of fraud in procuring the insurance.
