Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit November 4, 1908, No. 1878 (Winston v. Arlington Fire Insurance)

Mr. Chief Justice Shepard

delivered the opinion of the court:

The single question for determination is whether this is an action on the contract of insurance so as to bring it within the operation of the limitation clause set out in the plea. The contract of insurance bound the defendant to pay the loss or damage occasioned by fire, not to exceed the stipulated amount.
