Syllabus

<p>Fire insurance — Invalidation of policy — Nonpayment of assessments— Application and by-laws — Evidence—Act of May 11, 1881.</p> <p>In an action on a policy of fire insurance where the application and bylaws are not attached to the policy as required by the act of May 11. 1881, P. L. 20, the insurance company cannot claim that the policy is invalidated because the insured did not comply with the terms and conditions set forth in the constitution and by-laws, or pay the legal assessments. In such ease there is no evidence before the court of the conditions of the policy as to what constituted a legal assessment or as to the effect of nonpayment.</p>
