INSURANCE CLAIM.

WOMAN MOTORIST'S INJURIES. NONSUIT POINTS ARGUED. DENIAL 07 RESPONSIBILITY. ' (Bj Telegraph.—Press Association.) f WELLINGTON, this flay. < Legal argument on nonsuit points" raised on Tuesday was continued all day J yesterday in tlie Supremo Court in the I ease in which Mrs. Elizabeth Ivy Johnson f is seeking to recover £700, alleged to be due under policies from insurance com- j jinnies. Anion" the grounds upon which the; nonsuit was sought were that, if toigoiy | were proved plaintiff was not entitled to succeed, as her dealings with the Commercial Union Company impliedly authorised the. company to make payment to her husband, that she failed to o-ive information to the company and so prejudiced its rights by delay, and tha she failed to comply with certain conditions in the policy in not taking action within the stipulated time. The T. and G. Company's grounds were that the action was not commenced within the time stated in the policy, and (hat the clause relating to the supply of particulars of the accident and the nature of the injuries had not been observed. At the conclusion of the argument, Mr. Justice Heed said he would take time to consider his decision. The hearing was therefore adjourned.

Plaintiff alleged that she w;ls travelling with her husband in a car to their house at Raumati, and at the Ohau crossing, near Levin, her husband stopped the cat at the. railway line and afterwards held her on the line, one of lier legs being crushed by the engine. She denied that receipts which had been given to the insurance companies in respcct of payments were signed by her.
