CLAIM FOR INSURANCE
PLAINTIFF NON-SUITED. (Per Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, June 18. Allegations that batteries had been bought at a few pence, each and were then painted and insured for £lOO were made by counsel appearing for the Northern Assurance Co. to-day in the case where John Howard William Tapp claimed £lOO under a policy on goods destroyed by firo on April 21. During plaintiff’s evidence he admitted having made mistakes in the policy proposal of goods. Examined by counsel for the com ['any, he refused to answer certain quos tions and declared: “Are you suggesting that this firo was purposely done?” Counsel: “Yes, I am.” Plaintiff was non-suited, the Magistrate saying that the claim was properly a case to be dealt with under the arbitration clause in tho policy.
