Syllabus

<p>The State has undoubted power to prohibit foreign insurance companies from doing business within its limits, or, in allowing them to do so, to impose such conditions as it pleases.</p> <p>Where the state court decides that a foreign insurance company cannot recover assessments on a policy issued within the State because it has not complied with the statutory conditions imposed by the State, no Federal question is involved, and a request to find that'the state statute could not prevent the insured from going outside the State and obtaining insurance .on property within the State does not raise a Federal question, where the fact was otherwise, and the writ of error will be dismissed.</p> <p>140 Michigan, 344', affirmed. •</p>
