V. Hazardous trades, such as apothecaries, bread and bisket bakers,
colourmen, ship and tallow-chandlers, innholders and stable-keepers,
carried on in brick or stone buildings, covered with slate, tile, or
lead; and hazardous goods, such as hemp, flax, pitch, tar, tallow, and
turpentine, deposited in such buildings, may be assured at the annual
premiums, set down under the head of hazardous assurances, in the above
article.
VI. Any of the above hazardous trades carried on, or hazardous goods
deposited in timber or plaister buildings; earthen, glass, and china
ware, in trade; and thatched buildings, or goods therein, are termed
_Double hazardous assurances_, and may be assured upon the following
conditions: any sum not exceeding 200l. at 10s. _per annum_: any sum
above 200l. and not exceeding 1000l. at 5s. _per cent. per annum_: and
any sum above 1000l. and not exceeding 2000l. at 7s. 6d. _per cent. per
annum_.
VII. Deal yards, also chymists, distillers, sugar-bakers, maltsters, or
any other assurances more than ordinarily hazardous, by reason of the
trade, nature of the goods, narrowness of the place, or other dangerous
circumstances, may be made by special agreement.
VIII. Two dwelling-houses, or any one dwelling-house, and the out-houses
thereunto belonging, or any one dwelling-house and goods therein, may be
included in the sum of 200l. But when several buildings, or buildings
and goods, are assured in the same policy, the sum assured on each is to
be particularly mentioned.
IX. To prevent frauds, if any buildings or goods assured with this
Corporation, are, or shall be assured with any other corporation or
society, the policy granted by this Corporation is to be null and void,
unless such other assurance is allowed by endorsement on the policy.
X. No policy is to be of any force, till the premium for one year is
paid. And for all subsequent annual premiums, the assured are to take
receipts, stamped with the seal of the Corporation, no other being
allowed of.
XI. No policy is to be extended, or construed to extend to the assurance
of any hazardous buildings or goods, unless they are expressly mentioned
in the policy, and the proper premium for such assurances be paid for
the same.
XII. No loss or damage by fire happening by any invasion, foreign enemy,
or any military or usurped power whatsoever, is to be made good.
