Syllabus

<p>Insurance — Fire insurance — Certificate of magistrate — Proofs of loss— Waiver.</p> <p>Where a fire insurance policy requires the insured to furnish to the insurance company a certificate of the nearest magistrate as to the loss, and the insured furnishes a certificate of the nearest magistrate, but this is returned to him by the company on the ground that it is insufficient, but without the particular insufficiency being stated, and the magistrate on request refuses to furnish any other certificate, a ruling by the trial judge that the proofs of loss were sufficient in law, and a resultant verdict and judgment for the insured, will not be reversed on appeal.</p>
