BEPEATED application* having been made to the r undersigned, respecting the right of to remove Insured goods when under apprehension of fire, and of the liability of Insurance Companies, to make goodohy loss or" damage sustained by removal, he respectfully directs the attentionof the Public & of all whom itmay concern, to the subjoined extracts from his official instructions, which will sufficiently explain the views adopted by the Direotow of the Northern Assurance Company. "The views of our Head Office in regard to compensation for goods removed, or buildings torn down soas to prevent the spread of flames, are of a very liberal description • it being the uniform practice to allow suoh claims when the danger has been imminent, and the remeval sanctioned by competent authority. This provision is of essential importance, as the neighbours, when»fire- : occurs, are invariably seized by panio, commence promiscuously to remove their goods when there ib evon no probability of fire extending to their premises, and thus cause as much damage as if they hod had a fire. The "competent authority" whose sanotion ought to be obtained before removal, when Buildings or Goods are Insured, would be tho Chief of the Fire Brigade, or other party taking charge at the scene of the fire, the Agent of the Company where the property is Insured, or any Magistrate present— indeed the Agent of a Company has such power as to enable him to insist on Property or Goods Insured with his Company, being removed at the Company's expense when the danger is thus gre»t. Although parties Insured with us have acted unadvisedly* in removing Goods from their Premises without any sanction, yet, *s the Agents of the various Companies have come to the conclusioinhat if their permission had been sought, they would in all probability have given it, I conceive that you should allow the liability in all cases where this Office is concerned." [Extracted from Letter from Superintendent and Inspector of the Company's Agencies in Australia and New Zealand.] "Wo hold that an office is liable for all loss to Property Insured by its Policies that oan be traced as having resulted from the effects of fire : such as, (in addition to actual destruction by the flames,) damage by smoke or water, or on removal at the suggestion of the Agency or other competent authority, such as tho Police, or Firemen : any loss by breakage, or deterioration, or fromartioles missing or stolen— their existence of course having been satisfactorily authenticated— and the Company will further mako good any loss that may be sustained on Property Insured, by its destruction at the order of the Authorities to arrest the spread of a conflagration." [Extracted from a Letter from Head Office in London.] THOS. S. FORSAITH, Agent for the Northern Insurance Company. ♦Alluding to the Great Fire in July, 1858.
