Smith v. Williams , 1 Lock. Rev. Cas. 246 ( 1799 )

B. Livingston, J.,

dissented from this decision of the Supreme Court, maintaining that the insurance was void, on account of the lieu not being made known to the underwriter, as the risk wits materially varied. On error,

The Court of Errors hold that the policy was void, because the insured had no insurable interest irt the ship; and the judgment of the Supreme Court was accordingly reversed.
