Thomas Kearney Appeals His Case

Thomas Kearney, the Northfield farmer who made a claim for some burned beans against the Washtenaw Mutual Fire Insurance Company and which the arbitrators refused to allow, has now taken the case into the court of chancery, asking that the award be set aside.

He claims that the arbitrators exceeded their authority in declaring his policy void, and that all the arbitrators should have decided was to assess the damages coming to him.
