Syllabus

<p>(a) In an action against a live-stock insurance company, incorporated under the act of May 1, 1876, P. L. 53, a supplement to the act of April 4, 1873, P. L. 20, the summons was served upon the president of the company, at its principal office in a county other than that where the suit was brought, and by the sheriff of the latter county:</p> <p>1. The service being held sufficient, under the act of April 24, 1857, P. L. 318, the defendant appeared generally, and, on trial, the court below ruled that the insurance being upon a specific thing, the death of the horse insured, a notice of the death, given a few days thereafter, made subsequent formal and detailed proofs unnecessary unless requested by the company. Judgment for the plaintiff affirmed.</p>
