Syllabus
<p>Fire insurance — Policy— Title — Mistake.</p> <p>A policy of fire insurance provided that “ the entire policy shall be void if the interest of the insured be not truly stated therein ; or if the interest of the insured be other than unconditional and sole ownership.” The uncontradicted evidence was that the title to the property was in the plaintiff and his wife jointly. There was no evidence to corroborate the testimony of the wife that the stipulation in the policy had been inserted by fraud, accident or mistake, and it was denied by the agent of the company. Held, that it was proper to direct a verdict for the insurance company.</p>
