Syllabus
<p>(ct) The recognized agent of a foreign fire insurance company wrote and countersigned a policy signed by the company’s officers, reported it to the company for approval, and, after due time receiving no reply, delivered the policy and accepted and transmitted the premium to the company, all in his usual course of dealing:</p> <p>1. The property insured being subsequently destroyed by fire, the company was liable upon the policy; and it could not be heard to allege, as a defence, that as there was no evidence that when the policy was issued the company was authorized to transact business in Pennsylvania,* the policy in suit was therefore ultra vires and void.</p>
