A jury returned a verdict for the full amount due on a note given to Whitworth for a fire policy not issued to Hinckley’s son Walter. The case centers on whether Whitworth acted as the insurer’s agent and the company’s ratification of his act. Judge Hanford instructed the jury that habitual collection by Whitworth could bind the company, regardless of Hinckley’s knowledge. The verdict likely prompts an appeal.
