Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court February 27, 1891 (Wainer v. Milford Mutual Fire Insurance)

W. Allen, J.

The action is against a mutual fire insurance company, on a Massachusetts standard policy. Pub. Sts. c. 119, § 139 (St. 1887, c. 214, § 60). The defendant says that the policy is void, and denies any liability under it. It also relies in defence upon the fact that there was not a reference of the amount of the loss according to the provisions of the policy.
