Syllabus

<p>Insurance — Actions on Policy — Venue — Statutes. An action upon a foreign fire insurance policy delivered in, and upon property witliin, W. county, must be brought in that county, under 3 Rem. & Bal. Code, § 6059-13%, providing that an insurance company may be sued upon an insurance policy in any county where the action arose, “by serving . . . upon the commissioner . . . if an alien or foreign company, or upon any duly licensed agent of the company residing in the county where the cause of action arose.”</p> <p>Statutes — Title and Subjects — Insurance Code. The title “An act to provide an insurance code . . .” is broad enough to include 3 Rem. & Bal. Code, § 6059-13%, covering the venue of actions on insurance policies and the manner of service of summons therein; since the act, being a complete code on the subject of insurance, the title need not be an index to the act.</p>
