The fire policy issued by the defendant company on lumber owned by the complainants, contained in its written part a warranty that a' continuous clear space of 150 feet should be maintained between the lumber insured and the saw-mill, dry-kiln, or any wood-working or manufacturing establishment, and that said space should not be used for the handling or piling of lumber
The language of Lord Mansfield, in Tyree v. Fletcher, Cowp., 668, was that “where the risk had not been run, whether its not having "been run was owfing to the fault, pleasure, or will of the insured, or to any other cause, the premium shall be returned.”
The facts of this- case show no intentional fraud on part of assured, and, his premium never having-been earned, must be returned.
Other points in the case were disposed of orally.
