Syllabus

<p>An adjudication in ah action at law on a policy of insurance that the insured cannot recover on the policy as it then stood is not an'adjudication that the contract cannot be reformed; and a court of another State does not fail tp give full faith and credit, to such a judgment because in an equity action it reforms the policy and gives judgment to the insured thereon as reformed.</p> <p>Whether the obligation of the contract was impaired by a. statute as con- : strued is not open in this court if that objection was not taken below.</p>
