Syllabus

<p>Insurance — Fire insurance — Principal and agent — Cancellation of policy — Notice to the insured.</p> <p>Where an agent of an insured is given general powers to place a large line of insurance in various companies with power to cancel policies and replace with other policies without special authority from the principal, to keep an expiration book for an indefinite period and correct the same every six months, such agent, so long as the line of insurance is not completed, is a proper person, to whom an insurance company may serve notice of cancellation of a policy of insurance procured by him for his principal; and the same rule applies even where the agent of the insured is also the agent of the insurance company.</p>
