Court Of Common Pleas. - Before Judge James Parsons. Case No. 506. Camden, N. J., January 5, 1821.

For the plaintiff appears Samuel R. Taylor, Esq.

For the defendant appear Messrs. Walters and Harvey

William Jones, the plaintiff, sworn.

Examination-In-Chief

By Mr. Taylor:

Q. What is your name?

A. William Jones.

Q. Are you the plaintiff in this suit?

A. Yes, sir.

Q. Where do you reside?

A. Nineteenth and Federal streets, this city.

Q. That is just beyond Cooper's Creek Bridge, is it not, Mr. Jones?

A. Yes, sir, in the open country.

Q. On what is known as the Moorestown pike?

A. Yes, sir.

Q. Do you own property out there?

A. Yes, sir; a farm of about fifty acres.

Q. On what side of the road is it, Mr. Jones?

A. On the right-hand side, coming out of Camden; that is, going east.

Mr. Harvey:

If it please the Court, I would like to make a preliminary request that no more time be wasted on this case than is necessary. General Wharton, the Vice-President of the State Insurance Association, here present, desires to leave the town as soon as possible on important business, to be transacted to-day, at the office of the Company, Newark, N. J., and desires me to say that the location of Mr. Jones' property is not a matter of defense with us, and it is furthermore admitted by us that the barn owned by Mr. Jones, and which was burned on the night of August 14, 1820, was located on his property, wherever that may be, and was the one insured by us under Policy No. 7501. We simply differ in regard to the valuation of the property destroyed, and hope questions will be confined to that fact.

The Court:

This being understood by the plaintiff, I have no doubt he will be glad to take advantage of this opportunity of saving both himself and the Court valuable time.
