This was ruled out by
the court of common pleas of North-
ampton county, snd the judge instructed
the jury to find for the defendant. A
writ of error was taken to the supreme
court, where Justice Paxson filed an
opinion affirming the judgment of the
court below upon the two grounds set
up by the company by the way of de
fense, The justice holds that the plac
ing of encumbrances ou the property
subsequent to the date of the policy snd
thie overvaluation of the property were
both known to the ipsared, therefore
they were plain violations of the provi-
gions of the policy. The justice takes
occasion, however, to state emphatically
that the company's agent was not
