The foregoing was a jury Case but by agreement between Counsel it was incorporated with the case of Spahr vs the same company, as both turned on on the question of vacancy. In the latâ€" ter case Mrs Henry Spabr, motherâ€"inâ€" law of Bordman, sued the Company for $500 on the house above mentioned. ‘The case was tried by the Judge. Mr J G Reiner, of Wellesley, was called to prove the existerce of a mortâ€" gage which he held against the proâ€" perty for something over $500. Miss Katie Kuntz, a servant at S‘Puhr’s says Bordman: had been out of the house four weeks before the fire. Bordman went back and forward to feed the pigs and chickens and wit ness also was frequently there to water the plants. Bordmans took away no furniture and very little clothing. Mrs. Armstrong a neighbor, swore that Mrs Spahr came to her house and said she had got into a lot of trouble and got a letter from her lawyer askâ€" ing her to get some one to swear the house was occupied. Mrs Spabr denied in toto the stateâ€" ment of the previous witness. _ She bad never said anything to her about insurance. A claim paperfor the inâ€" surace which had been subscribed to by witness was put in. In cross cxâ€" amination she was not very clear as to what was in the claim paper though it had been read over to her before signâ€" ing it. EB dus Mr. and Mrs. Bordman were callâ€" ed. The former left a good fire in the stove about 6:30 p m the night of the fire, closing the stove up tightly. id Bsnsb itb ds tintstdhfaiine Aliy 9tt Levi Stauffer, manager of the comâ€" pany, said his company contended the policy was void owing to vacation. i s . 2 2 on nee en on e e c l 2 Mrs. Spahr had recently paid on an assessment but the company had as yet given no receipt nor entered it up in their books. This was done on the ad\ice of their solicitor in view of the present suit coming on.â€" A number of other witnesses were called before adjournment including Messrs H. Kranz, Manager of the Ecâ€" onomical, Berlin, and J. B. Hughes, Waterloo, special agent of the Etna, who both swore that under the cirâ€" cumstances the changed conditions due to Bordmans baving left the house was material to the risk. ‘The evidence in the two cases was concluded on Thursday morning and by arrangement betweeen Counsel and his Lordship, the cases are to be argued on the points of law arising at a later date at Osgoode Hall, Toronto. EULER SV. KAUFFMAN The next case taken up was that of Conrad Euler against Jacob Kauffman of Berlin.
