Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Fire Insurance, Vol. 2 of 2: Adapted to the Present State of the Law, English and American, With Copious Notes and Illustrations The plaintiffs, to recover in the present case, must prove themselves assignees of the contract, because they prove an alienation of the property, and a sale to themselves, long before the fire, so that all insurable interest in the original assured had ceased, and no loss was sustained by them by the fire, payable to anybody. The plaintiffs having acquired the property, so that it was at their risk, the question is, whether they have proved such an assignment of the contract as to bring themselves within the provisions of the charter and by-laws, as assignees, holding in all respects the rights of the original assured.
