Opinion
The parties may insert what conditions they please in a policy, provided there be nothing in them contrary to the criminal law, or public policy. This is constantly done in marine policies, and the principle which upholds it there extends to all other policies. The Matter of the Long Island Rail Road Company, (19 Wendell, 37,) has no application. The terms of forfeiture were there imposed by the company. Here the condition was inserted by mutual consent.
Judgment for the defendants.
